About this property

Spacious Family & Friends House Across From Tower Grove Park

Climb the front steps of a remarkably preserved craftsman period house with its exterior character intact. Inside is a modern space that's been remodeled top to bottom to a high level of quality and style, including a chef's kitchen and formal dining area.

The house is the perfect place for large groups and families wanting plenty of space to spread out, relax and spend time together. Very kid friendly with porta cribs, highchairs, strollers and a baby monitor available for your use.

Great place if you are in town visiting family and friends, attending a wedding, taking in many of the attractions St Louis has to offer, or attending a business function with co-workers.

The house has a well-equipped chef’s kitchen, large dining area with seating for 10, large family room in basement, and fenced-in backyard with patio furniture and gas BBQ gill. The house is well-appointed, cozy, clean and well maintained.

The house has 3 floors and a basement. On the 1st floor is the Entry, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen and Half Bath. From the Kitchen is the back door leading to the first-floor deck where the gas grill is located and the fenced-in back yard with patio furniture.

On the 2nd floor, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The Master Bedroom with king-size bed has an ensuite Full Master Bathroom. Bedroom #2 with a queen-size bed and Bedroom #3 with a full-size bed share Full Bathroom #2. Off the Master Bedroom Suite is the back door to the second-floor deck.

On the 3rd floor, there are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Bedroom #4 with the full-size bed and Bedroom #5 with the king-size bed share Full Bathroom #3.

All the beds are super comfortable with memory foam mattresses.

The basement has the Family Room and Full Bathroom #4. Besides the 2 large couches, there is a lot of room to put blow up mattresses for extra sleeping places. The basement door allows easy access to the back yard.
The basement has a workstation with monitor where you can connect your laptop if you need a place to do some work. The 200 MB WiFi connection provides you internet access to throughout the house. Big screen TVs in the Living Room and Family Room with full cable TV access to quite a few channels including movies and sports.

The house is on a corner, so there is plenty of parking right next to the side of the house. There is also a gate in the fence from the side of the house that allows you direct access to the back yard and back door.

Family-Friendly Home

This home was perfect for our family. The home is stocked with everything you could need from toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner/soap, bottled waters, snacks, pots & pans etc. The home also has all the baby items which was a very pleasant surprise.

Work retreat

This place was great to house four remote co-workers for a mid-year planning retreat. Its combinations of eating, gathering, and sleeping spaces plus access to restaurants, parks, and other St. Louis offerings make it a great place to stay for all types of groups and occasions.

Beautiful home in great location

Dave’s place is beautifully remodeled with modern conveniences and plenty of room for the 3 60+ couples that stayed here. Great location and beautiful views of the park across the street. Dave made sure the sidewalks were cleaned after an unexpected snowstorm before we checked in. Definitely want to come back in the future.

Perfect location and great house!

We loved being right at Tower Grove Park. Walked to the farmer's market Saturday morning and to Grand to eat. House is perfect for families and well equipped with everything you might need. Kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook as well. Nice backyard with patio seating. We would definitely stay here again.

Great owner!

We stayed recently with six people - three adults and three children. Plenty of room to spread out. Incredibly clean and well maintained. Bedding was comfy. Lots of little extras provided - snacks, bottled water, etc. - that gave it all a nice homy feel. There were a few hiccups with recent flooding in the St. Louis area (not the owner’s fault) that led to some breakers that needed to be flipped back, etc. Owner was quick to answer his phone late at night when we checked in and followed up to make sure everything was still going well. House was in perfect condition and we would definitely want to stay here again!

Just what we hoped for

We’re a group of 5 women looking for 5 (appropriate) bedrooms which can be hard to find. It’s usually 3 great rooms, one acceptable and one child’s room. This property had 5 adult beautifully decorated rooms and 5 bathrooms along with a large dining table and finished basement where we spent the evening on the couch. You can see the attention to detail in the home and the presentation for guests. Towels on each bed, bathrooms with full amenities, a nicely stocked kitchen including snacks. Our goal was to find a home where we could live together for a few days and reconnect and we did exactly that. Thanks Dave, your house is beautiful! We had a great time!!

Fabulous property

Dave, the host of this gorgeous home, went above and beyond to make our stay extremely enjoyable. We were a party of ten (5 couples). We found all of the bedrooms very well appointed. The beds were super comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the comfy dining room chairs as we spent a lot of time around the table. Dave was immediately available to answer any questions we had. He even gave our personal chef a tour of the kitchen so she could catalog the dishes/tools she would require. This is THE MOST completely stocked kitchen you will ever find in a rental home. I actually had utensil envy. The home is directly across from Tower Grove Park. There are lots of coffee shops/restaurants within walking distance. We have visited many VRBO homes and this one ranks in the top 3. Loved it!!

Amazing: overly-used word but ACCURATE!

The owner has thought of everything! Bring your clothes and toothbrush. That’s it! Parking is great. The little coffee shop (Hartford) around the corner has a great vibe and breakfast menu. Easy walking and sidewalks are great. Tower Grove Park right in front of the house is a great place to run off energy. If the weather is bad, you’ve got the whole basement to spread out. In fact, the whole house just feels spacious, bright, open and cheery. We loved that the Christmas decorations were left up, because this was our family time for Christmas. Super-easy access just blocks from Kingshighway Blvd and minutes from many of STL attractions. Hope I didn’t use the word “great” too much!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Carson

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Dave and the owner of this house. My wife Pam and I live in Manchester, MO which is a suberb of St Louis and is 18 miles miles from this house. My wife and I both had computer science degrees. I graduated from Univerisity of Missouri at Rolla, which is now called Missouri University of Science and Technology. Pam graduated from Iowa State Univestify.

We are blessed with a son and daughter, who have made us very proud of their careers and for the 4 grandchildren and counting (2 boys and 2 gilrls).

Even though we are retired, we both keep a very busy life style including hosting this house.

Why they chose this property

After retirement, I decided to rehab houses since I have always been a do-it-yourselfer including rehabbing my son and daughter's as-is houses. It's a far cry from designing computer software, but much less stressful and very rewarding,

My beautiful 5BR/4.5BA craftsman style home has been renovated from top to bottom by myself and St. Louis’ most talented craftsmen using only the finest materials and finishes. My goal was to restore the house to replicate the style of the house when it was built in 1910 but make the home more comfortable by adding modern conveniences.

What makes this property unique

What caught my eye when I looked to buy the house was the historic neighborhood and that it was directly across the street from the internationally acclaimed Tower Grove Park. The house is within 5 miles of the major attractions in St Louis, which convinced me this would be the perfect location for visitors coming to St Louis.

I am happy for the opportunity to make my house your home away from home.
