About This Home
As of December 2025Welcome to 3970 McDonald Street
Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Tower Grove South neighborhood, this charming home offers the perfect blend of classic character and modern convenience.
Built in 1939, the home is a beautiful example of mid-20th century American architecture with distinct Tudor Revival influences—most notably the steep, front-facing gable with elegant curved trim that frames the inviting entryway.
Inside, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, with two on the main floor and two upstairs, offering flexibility for families, guests, or home office needs. The generously sized kitchen is ideal for cooking, hosting, and everyday dining. A detached garage adds both parking convenience and additional storage space.
Located just blocks from the historic Tower Grove Park, one of St. Louis’s most beloved green spaces, you’ll enjoy easy access to scenic walking paths, vibrant farmers’ markets, food trucks, sports fields, concerts, festivals, and year-round events.
This is more than just a house—it’s a lifestyle in one of the city’s most vibrant communities.
