Property Description

Back on the market due to no fault to the seller.. Buyer was contingent and did not sell home! In 1904, the world came to St. Louis with the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair — also called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the ice cream cone was invented and... 401 Henry Street was built! Oh, the stories this home could tell! Step back in time with this lovingly preserved 1904 two-story home, nestled in the heart of a storied French village. Settle into Village life in historic Prairie du Rocher! Just down the road from Fort de Chartres and up the street from Lisa’s iconic restaurant, this 4-bed, 2-bath treasure blends historic charm with modern comfort. The wrought iron fence and full front porch evoke a bygone era—perfect for sipping lemonade and watching Main Street festivities swing by. If you have ever considered owning a piece of history, this lovingly preserved showstopper is your chance! Inside, the formal foyer welcomes you with an open staircase and original newel post. Soaring ceilings, double pocket doors, and pristine wood floors whisper tales of generations past. The formal dining room glows with a bay window, perfect for framing your holiday decor. The updated kitchen honors its roots with a vintage metal ceiling, granite counters, and a copper farm sink. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms line a central hall, leading to a custom bath with separate tub and shower. The unfinished attic awaits your imagination. Spacious unfinished walk-up basement has tons of storage. Outside, a sculpted backyard with fire pit and covered porch invites quiet evenings. The detached shed features a half racquetball court and ample parking on the brick drive. Whether you dream of a quaint B&B (with village approval) or a personal historic haven, this home stands as a proud showpiece of Village Main Street—where history lives and you'll linger.
