722 Harvard Avenue

From the moment you arrive, the timeless curb appeal is undeniable: classic red brick, stately white columns, a wide welcoming front porch with ceiling fans and hanging ferns, and steps that practically insist you come up and stay awhile. Set on one of University Heights' more superior lots, this grand early-1900s beauty has been quietly perfecting itself for well over a century, now enhanced by a new roof and new AC system. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors, stained-glass windows and exceptional period millwork reflect a home with history, warmth and stories to tell. The gracious living room, centered by a wood-burning fireplace, transitions effortlessly from quiet winter evenings to festive holiday gatherings and relaxed time with family and friends. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances, making everyday meals and entertaining seamless. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers every desired luxury: a walk-in closet, jetted tub, separate shower and double vanity, because getting ready should never feel like a compromise.
Out back, a beautifully spacious brick-paver patio, limestone retaining wall and fully fenced create an ideal setting for peaceful morning coffee or full-scale outdoor entertaining. And the location? Exceptional. The vibrant University City Loop is just steps away, with restaurants, shops, entertainment and the library all within an easy walk. Washington University and Forest Park are also just a short walk or bike ride away. Cortex and the NGA are the classic STL 20-minute drive away. This is that rare and coveted pocket where true walkability, mature trees, historic architecture and enduring neighborhood charm come together beautifully. Showings begin Friday, 9/25/26. Open House on Sunday, 9/27/26.
