3068 Bellerive Dr, Saint Louis, MO 63121

Professionally Renovated 5BR Historic Home | Walk to UMSL | Quiet Established Neighborhood | $2,000

If you’ve been waiting for a home with character — but also... fully updated systems and modern efficiency, this is it! (Complete with two electric car charging outlets in the garage)

Welcome to 3068 Bellerive Drive, a professionally renovated 1931 brick home in a quiet, stable historic neighborhood in Bel-Nor. Five bedrooms. 2.5 bathrooms. Nearly 2,000 square feet. Every major system has been recently replaced or upgraded — roof, high-efficiency HVAC, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, paint, lighting, fixtures, and brand-new stainless electric appliances.

This is not a cosmetic flip. It’s a comprehensive renovation designed for long-term comfort and efficiency, while preserving the craftsmanship that makes historic homes special.

Original archways. Built-in cabinetry. Large crown molding and trim. Restored stained-glass windows throughout. A newly restored classic clay tile roof by Old World Roofing. Decorative brick fireplace. An expansive front porch framed by newly tuckpointed brick, and a back deck ready for action.

Above the front door is a stained-glass arch that reads “Rainbow Tribe.” It is visible from the street and part of the home’s wonderful personality — a subtle expression of inclusion, community, and individuality.
