643 Foote Ave, Saint Louis, MO 63119

This house is an ideal starter for a young or small family. It is all-electric with a heat pump for whole-house heating and cooling, and has low utility bills from being well insulated, including the windows. Its street in northwest Webster Groves is quiet and friendly, and the schools are excellent. It has a very nice yard, and the full walkout basement gives convenient access to good driveway parking. The owners raised a family here from 1965. Before they moved to a larger home in 1996, they added a downstairs bedroom, which each of their teens eagerly took over in his turn. They also created a main floor semi-open plan by opening a wall to convert a previous bedroom into a breakfast room off the kitchen and enlarging the doorway between kitchen and dining room. After moving, they have leased it to a nearly continuous succession of one-to-three year tenants, with the last staying eight years. The interior has been refreshed and of course, completely repainted. Like most '50s houses, closet space is not generous, but two basement walls have been lined with storage cabinets and shelves. We will need references from your current and previous landlords before any agreement can be completed. I'm happy to discuss the house at any length you desire, but not by typing out long answers to a number of questions. Owner will pay trash, tenant must pay all other utilities.
