7479 Hiawatha Avenue 7479 Hiawatha is a rare opportunity to own one of St. Louis’ iconic “40 Thieves” homes — a small collection of early 1900s residences known for their charming architectural details, solid craftsmanship, and timeless appeal, rumored to have earned their nickname from a group of builders who quietly elevated the standard of homes in the neighborhood. From the moment you step into the historic entry foyer, you’ll feel the character carried throughout, from the original inlaid wood floors to the tall ceilings and light-filled rooms. The fabulous layout flows effortlessly, with the kitchen open to the dining area and the dining spilling into the living room, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by abundant cabinet storage and a convenient half bath on the main level. Upstairs, enjoy a totally renovated bath and an oversized owner’s closet so generous it could easily double as a home office or nursery. Behind the scenes, all-new plumbing and electric provide modern peace of mind, alongside major updates like the 2019 roof and new front door. Outside, a large backyard offers off-street parking, a cozy firepit area, and sweeping views of downtown Clayton — a perfect backdrop for evenings under the stars. Nestled in one of the most coveted neighborhoods at an entry-level price point, this home also offers exciting potential to expand, making it a standout opportunity to plant roots, build equity, and become part of a truly special pocket of St. Louis.
