Some homes simply stand apart. Built in 1899, 340 N. Newstead pairs enduring brick and craftsmanship with the kind of character that can’t be recreated, only inherited. Just steps from the Cathedral Basilica, this city original makes a striking first impression, from its dramatic two-story arched window to the arched entry awning resting on handsome corbels. Inside, a graceful curved wall welcomes you into the front hall and sets the tone. Tall ceilings and natural light give more than 2,500 square feet an airy, gallery-like feel. The living and dining spaces invite long dinners and easy gatherings, while the deck overlooks a landscaped backyard framed by the home on one side and a rare garage on the other, a lovely setting for stargazing or simply unwinding outdoors. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer room to rest and recharge, with a flexible extra room ready to become a home office, reading den, or creative studio. A private second-floor balcony is the perfect spot to take a call or catch up over coffee. A new roof and thoughtful updates bring added peace of mind while letting the home’s 19th-century character shine. The Central West End is St. Louis at its most cosmopolitan. Tree-lined streets, sidewalk cafes, boutiques, and restaurants make Euclid Avenue a pleasure to explore. Forest Park, with the Art Museum, Zoo, History Museum and the Muny, is nearby, as are Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the Washington University Medical Campus, and the Cortex Innovation District. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is a quick drive away. A gracious city home with history, light, and a location that puts so much of St. Louis within reach.
