NEW PRICE! MOTIVATED SELLER! Welcome to “The Green Bee” — a one-of-a-kind home where history, craftsmanship, and sustainability come together beautifully. Originally dating back to the late 1800s (and believed to be even earlier), this thoughtfully reimagined home blends old-world character with intentional modern updates. Rich in story and soul, every detail reflects a collaborative effort and a deep respect for both architecture and community. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, including a charming loft space, creating a warm and flexible layout. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers generous counter space—perfect for cooking, gathering, or preserving garden harvests—while the bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub adds timeless appeal. A carefully designed rear addition (completed circa 2006) introduces eco-conscious living with materials like cob walls, cedar siding, raw oak paneling, and denim insulation, alongside thoughtfully incorporated salvaged elements—from historic French doors and banisters to reclaimed wood and stone details. Importantly, all major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) were updated during renovation, offering peace of mind without sacrificing character. Step outside and discover a true gardener’s paradise. The expansive yard features mature fruit trees (cherry, peach, apple, crabapple), grape arbor, elderberries, and native plantings, along with multiple garden beds ready for your next season. A chicken coop, greenhouse, compost area, and two sheds enhance the property’s self-sufficient lifestyle, while a wide 10’ gate allows for secure off-street parking via the alley. Located in a neighborhood that feels like a close-knit small town—yet just moments from all that St. Louis has to offer—this home is more than a place to live. It’s a piece of history, a labor of love, and a rare opportunity to own something truly special. Located in a neighborhood that feels like a close-knit small town—yet just moments from the energy of the city—you’re never far from the best of St. Louis. Spend your evenings cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium or catching a St. Louis Blues game at Enterprise Center. When it’s time to dine out, you’re surrounded by beloved local favorites like Crown Candy Kitchen, Everybody Eats Cafe, Kitchen 4AM, The Biscuit Joint, and King’s Field Rice. The Green Bee is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a story, and a rare opportunity to own something truly special. Homes like this don’t come around often.
