Property Description

This is truly a one-of-a-kind residence and is on the National Register of Historic Places. If you appreciate historic homes with architectural significance and exceptional craftsmanship, you will want to tour this property built in 1924 by Thomas J McGarry. The grand central foyer immediately draws you in. Two broad arches flanking the foyer leads to the spacious living room and dining room. Oversized windows bring in natural light throughout the day. The home is perfect for entertaining as the rooms flow easily. Both the living and dining rooms have French doors that open to a large tiled front porch and bring in fresh air. An impressive original Batchelder woodburning fireplace anchors the space. Batchelder fireplaces are highly sought after in historic American homes. The residence offers more than 3,500 sq. ft. of living space. The sunroom adjoins the living room with a set of French doors that lead to a large tiled rear porch overlooking the yard. The entire main floor is of Moorish design with custom tile work, cove ceilings, and Spanish plaster. The openness and the high ceilings evoke the feeling of being in a villa. A convenient half bath is located off the grand foyer for guests while you are entertaining. The current owner has updated the kitchen suite with black cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances. There is a swinging door between the kitchen and dining room for easy service. The grand staircase leads to 4 spacious bedrooms which have hardwood floors as well as the hallway. On the 2nd floor landing you are greeted by a lovely stained-glass window with two side windows that swing open. Along the length of the hallway are custom bookshelves, perfect for treasures and your personal library. The primary bedroom has tall windows, which bring in the sunshine with views of the trees. The bath that services the primary bedroom has an oversized shower with rainfall shower head, 6 body spray jets, beautiful ceramic tile, pedestal sink, and is appointed with a gorgeous stained-glass window. Two of the bedrooms adjoin a jack-and-jill bath with tub. The 4th bedroom is currently used as a media room with 75” wall mounted Roku TV. The 3rd floor is currently used as home office; however, this area has untapped potential to add value as primary bedroom suite. Features: wood floors, a half bath, two dorm-style windows to bring in natural light and fresh air, and large storage areas. There is a 2-car detached garage and large yard. The current owner painted all the rooms on main floor in spring of 2026. There are many more architectural features. The walk-out basement has been freshly painted (spring of 2026), is partially finished with sauna, and additional bath with shower. This is area that has additional untapped potential. Two large unfinished rooms serve as the workshop / storage area. Residents love living in Ames Place due to its proximity to restaurants in the U. City Loop, the Washington University campus, and beautiful Forest Park. It's only a quick 4-minute walk to the metro platform. It's an easy walk or bike ride to Forest Park to enjoy the nearly 6 miles of paths. Downtown Clayton is less than 2 miles. Available to tour beginning 10/30.
