Cue the guitar riff... because 1016 Childress is looking pretty sweet. Whether you're searching for your next investment or an owner-occupant opportunity that'll help pay the mortgage, this beautifully renovated Dogtown duplex is music to our ears. Each unit welcomes you with gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding and updated lighting before leading you into a cozy living room anchored by a beautiful brick fireplace and mantel. The cased opening flows into a spacious dining room that's ready for holiday dinners, game nights or takeout on the good plates. (No judgment here.) The updated kitchen absolutely crushed its renovation with granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, subway tile wrapping the walls, built-in shelving and enough counter space to finally attempt that recipe you've had saved for three years. The hits just keep coming. Both bedrooms are spacious and filled with natural light. One features a large closet and French doors that open to the sweetest sunroom, making it the perfect home office, reading nook, plant room or your new favorite spot for morning coffee. The second bedroom keeps the hardwood floors and ups the storage game with two generous closets. Needless to say, your tenants won't be complaining about closet space anytime soon. The full bath keeps things timeless with a subway tile surround, hex mosaic flooring, privacy window and a classic tub/shower combo. Downstairs, the basement is clean, spacious and ready for whatever you've got cookin'. Minus all the pretty moving parts, the real showstopper is the condition. And beyond all the pretty stuff, the important stuff has been handled too. Central A/C + heat, updated electric + plumbing, newer vinyl windows and basement laundry with individual storage lockers make landlord life a whole lot sweeter. Detached garage for off street parking-making privacy, parking, or storage- that much better! All of this in the heart of Dogtown, just minutes from Forest Park, the Zoo, Tamm Ave favorites + everything that makes this neighborhood one of STL's greatest hits. Sweet Child o' Mine? More like sweet investment o' yours. CHEERS!

TWO PROPERTIES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! This Soulard three family is not a duplex with a shed out back. It is TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS ON ONE PARCEL, a classic brick duplex fronting Allen Avenue plus a fully renovated single family house standing on its own in the rear, with a private courtyard in between. Setups like this almost never hit the market, and never at this price, in one of the most walkable and in demand neighborhoods in all of St. Louis! FULLY OCCUPIED AND PRODUCING 4,650 PER MONTH, or 55,800 annually. The front duplex holds a one bed one bath renting at 1,100 and a two bed two bath renting at 1,450. In the rear of the parcel sits a beautifully updated THREE STORY two bed two bath single family home leased at 2,100. The rear house is a TRUE ARCHITECTURAL SHOWPIECE! Three levels of modern design behind original brick, with a striking multi story window wall, white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, light wood floors and a spa quality walk in shower finished in marble. This one lives like a private city retreat, not a rental! Between the two buildings is a fully fenced PRIVATE COURTYARD of brick pavers and white stone. Real outdoor living space is nearly impossible to find in a city investment property, and here it comes standard. NOW HERE IS THE BEST PART. ALL THREE LEASES EXPIRE ON AUGUST 30, 2026! That hands the next owner a completely clean slate. The seller will DELIVER ALL THREE UNITS VACANT at closing, or re lease any of them beforehand, entirely at the direction of the buyer. YOU PICK THE UNIT YOU WANT TO LIVE IN! Take the high end rear house and enjoy a private home with a yard in the middle of the city. Take the two bed two bath in the duplex. Or keep it simple in the one bed and MAXIMIZE YOUR INCOME. Then you decide what the other two units do. Lease them long term for steady predictable rent. Furnish them for traveling nurses and corporate stays. Or run them as SHORT TERM RENTALS in a neighborhood people specifically travel to visit! Mix and match in any combination, and change the plan whenever you want. HOUSE HACK IT! Live in the rear home while the front duplex throws off more than 2,500 per month toward your mortgage, and as a three unit this property is FHA ELIGIBLE. Prefer to stay hands off? Keep all three leased, mark rents to market, or explore short term rentals, where AirDNA projections for comparable Soulard units point to ROUGHLY 100,000 PER YEAR in gross Airbnb revenue across all three! LOCATION IS EVERYTHING, and this one delivers. Just steps from Dukes, which runs a FREE SHUTTLE to Cardinals, Blues and STL City SC games plus major downtown concerts, and surrounded by the restaurants, bars and nightlife that make Soulard one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in St. Louis! OFFERED AT 499,500! Property is fully occupied. Proof of funds or preapproval required to schedule a tour. Do not let this one get away!

Rare mixed-use commercial/residential investment opportunity! This versatile four-unit property offers exceptional flexibility for investors, owner-occupants, and business owners alike.

(c.) 1905: Turn-key, spacious, and easy-to-rent 4 unit apartment building in the centrally located Gate District neighborhood! This large 4,950 sq ft building offers 4 units each with excellent layout comprised of two 2 bed/1bath units (main level), and two 3 bed/1 bath units (upstairs). One unit is available for potential owner occupant! Tall ceilings, large rooms, and reorganized floor plans that pulled the kitchen to the center of the unit for a more modern feel. Note that none of the bedrooms here are pass-through/shotgun style... All 4 units are of a similar caliber & finish as one another, each offering large living rooms, eat-in kitchens with large pantries, spacious updated bathrooms and tons of closet space. Central AC and heating in all units. Some updates to sewer stack, vinyl windows, newer circuit breaker electric panels, & one newer hvac unit. Situated right between highways 44 and 40, this location is close to many great pockets such as South Grand/Tower Grove Park, Lafayette Square and the Central West End for example. Current rents are $950/$1185/$1200. Under market value for a building of this size, there's lots of room to continue to add and create value here! This building would be a wise addition to any investor's portfolio — or would make a great owner occupant option as well (with one first floor 2 bedroom unit available for owner occupant at closing).
