Property Description

Step into a rare opportunity at Garden Court Condominiums, where house-like proportions, abundant natural light, and remarkable original character create the foundation for a truly special home. Located in the heart of the sought-after Garden Court section of University City, this expansive four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers the gracious scale and traditional layout of a classic pre-war home, all on one level with the convenience of condominium living. From the moment you enter, the home's original details make an impression. Hardwood floors, substantial moldings, deep window sills, and beautifully preserved millwork carry throughout. Just off the entry, a light-filled sitting room features a broad bay of windows and graceful arched alcove, creating a charming spot for reading, conversation, or a home office. The expansive living room is anchored by an ornate decorative fireplace mantel surrounded by paneled millwork and built-in bookshelves. Glass-paned French doors, handsome trim, and wide openings between rooms add to the sense of graciousness and flow. Beyond, the generously proportioned formal dining room provides plenty of space for gathering and entertaining. A traditional butler's pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen, another wonderful reminder of the home's 1920s origins. Three generously sized bedrooms occupy the main bedroom wing, along with excellent closet space and two full baths. The baths retain wonderful period details, including classic hex mosaic floors and distinctive leaded-glass windows with colorful stained-glass accents. One bedroom enjoys an en-suite bath, while the hall bath also offers direct access from another bedroom. A fourth, smaller bedroom located off the kitchen provides valuable flexibility as a guest room, home office, art studio, or other creative space. The kitchen and baths present an opportunity for thoughtful updates while offering an increasingly rare collection of period details worth appreciating and, where desired, preserving. With its generous rooms, traditional separation of living and sleeping spaces, abundant windows, and everything located on a single level, the residence offers a combination of space and ease of living. Garden Court itself is one of University City's most distinctive residential communities, known for its beautiful architecture and landscaped grounds. Residents enjoy two gated courtyards, an indoor year-round swimming pool, fitness center, library, meeting room, and bike storage. The building's setting offers a peaceful residential feel while remaining convenient to the universities, neighborhood restaurants and cafes, shopping, public transportation, and everything that makes University City such a vibrant place to live. G210 is a home for someone who sees the possibilities: exceptional space, beautiful proportions, enduring architectural character, and the opportunity to thoughtfully make an extraordinary pre-war residence their own.
