7232 Clayton Rd Richmond Heights, MO 63117

This is the kind of house that makes you slow down when you drive by. Beautiful brick, distinctive stone detailing, an arched front entry, mature landscaping and fantastic curb appeal give this Richmond Heights home charm before you ever step inside. Inside, the character continues with hardwood floors, beautiful windows, original details including glass doorknobs, and wonderful natural light throughout. Fresh interior paint and some new blinds give the home a clean, refreshed feel while preserving everything that makes an older St. Louis home special. The main level offers a spacious family room, a true dining room and a charming light-filled nook surrounded by windows - perfect for morning coffee, a reading room, home office, breakfast space or whatever works for you. The updated kitchen connects to one of those spaces that gives an older home its personality: a charming mudroom wrapped in windows, filled with natural light and complete with built-in storage overlooking the backyard. Upstairs you'll find three LARGE bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with an updated private bath. The two additional bedrooms are both genuinely spacious, offering plenty of flexibility for family, guests or work-from-home space. And then there's the backyard - a surprisingly private little garden retreat filled with mature trees, refreshed landscaping and established plantings. A secluded paver patio creates an inviting spot for dinner outside or a quiet afternoon, with a built-in gas grill ready to go and a raised garden bed for whatever you'd like to grow. It's green, peaceful and wonderfully tucked away. A detached two-car garage provides excellent off-street parking, with additional street parking available. Refrigerator, washer and dryer all stay. Three large bedrooms, 2.5 baths, incredible curb appeal, charming original details and a backyard you'll actually want to use - all in a location close to everything Clayton, Maplewood and Richmond Heights have to offer. This one is simply a really lovely place to call home.
