Classic St. Louis architecture. Modern comfort. Unmatched Fox Park charm. Welcome to 2520 California Avenue-an exceptional 3-story residence offering almost 3400 square feet of beautifully curated living space in one of St. Louis’ most sought-after historic neighborhoods. This is where the “good stuff” has been lovingly preserved while thoughtful updates elevate everyday living. From the moment you step inside, pride of ownership is evident. Original character shines through built-in bookcases and two historic fireplaces, while updated fixtures and finishes blend seamlessly with the home’s timeless architecture. The modern kitchen features custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and clean, functional design that complements the home’s historic roots. With 5 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, and convenient third-floor laundry, the layout offers flexibility and comfort across all three levels.
