Nestled at 5103 Waterman Blvd. in the heart of the Central West End, this historic single-family residence presents a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of St. Louis history. Built in 1896 and set on a deep 50x185 lot, the home stands as a testament to turn-of-the-century craftsmanship—filled with original character and ready to be reimagined for modern living by its next visionary owner.
Inside, you’ll find historic millwork, rich wood details, stained glass accents, and gleaming hardwood floors that tell the story of the home’s past.

The location is unmatched: step outside and enjoy walkable access to the best of the Central West End, Forest Park, BJC/WashU Medical Campus, world-class cultural institutions, restaurants, cafes, and boutique shopping. With convenient access to major highways, the entire St. Louis region is within easy reach while still enjoying the vibrancy of an urban, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.
Whether restored to its historic grandeur, reinterpreted with a more modern design vision, or even utilized as an cash-flowing investment property, 5103 Waterman offers unlimited potential. For the buyer who values craftsmanship, architectural heritage, and the opportunity to create a truly bespoke residence in one of St. Louis’ most coveted walkable communities, this is a one-of-a-kind chance to bring new life to a remarkable property.
