**Grand, historic and full of possibility in the heart of Webster Groves.** Built in 1893 and owned by the same family since the mid 1970s, this 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath home offers more than 3,400 square feet across three stories, plus the kind of architecture and scale that make old Webster homes so special. Even the wrap-around porch with the requisite porch swing will make you swoon. The dramatic staircase, tall ceilings, and original hardwood floors bring the character. The first floor features an entry foyer with decorative fireplace and grand staircase, a drawing room with bow window, living room with W/B fireplace and very generous dining room. The huge country-style kitchen is the heart of this home for a family who loved to entertain BIG. Loads of oak cabinetry, Dacor 6-burner range w/warming drawer and double wall ovens. A 2005 addition on the west side expanded the original kitchen footprint to create a 20x20 space for a center island w/prep sink, walk-in pantry, bookshelves and 1/2 bath. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom with walk-in closet, laundry room, luxury bath with tub and separate shower (which was created in 2005 above the new kitchen). The first- and second-floor bathrooms were also gutted and rebuilt with updated plumbing and electrical. 2 more bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks complete the second floor. The third floor features 2 attic style bedrooms with plenty of windows. Outside, nearly half an acre gives you a stately front lawn and still has an ample rear fenced yard for kids or pets. The oversized 2-car carriage-style garage (24 wide x 21) includes a separate 240 SF workshop with its own electrical panel. The garage with ONE overhead door (made to look like double doors) was constructed in 2005. And the location is pure Webster: walkable to Webster Groves High School, Webster University, retail boutiques, cafes and restaurants in Downtown Webster, and about a mile to the recreation complex, pool, ice arena, tennis and Hixson Middle School. This home needs restoration in each room: plaster repair, hardwood refinishing and cosmetic work—but the bones, size, setting and location are all here. Major systems have already been modernized with PVC, copper plumbing, Romex wiring and two 200-amp breaker panels, plus 2-100 amp sub-panels. Updated Zoned HVAC keeps each level comfortable. Upstairs HVAC just 3 years old. Roof replaced 2025.
