About This Home

As of May 2025

Nestled on a tree lined street, 434 Melville is made for a family just like yours. It has a wood burning fireplace at it's heart, perfect for snuggles on cold St. Louis nights. A formal dining room that can easily seat 12 but is at it's happiest when being utilized for family crafts or for enjoying the cross breeze through it's original terrace doors. The hardwoods throughout aim to impress while the bedrooms leave space to spare. The built ends remind you that you're being graced by a 100 year old beauty that is glad to share her past and future with you and that there's an upstairs bedroom that's moonlights as a study. Just beyond the serenity of your doorstep is the world famous "Delmar Loop" full of indie stores, Chuck Berry's Blue Berry Hill, fantastic Karaoke and some of the Best Bar B Que this side of the Mississippi! Now, while it's easy to be enamored by this AMAZINGLY walk able and entertaining neighborhood the home that rests here is even better. Book your showing today.
