Travel back in time with this historic 1884 mansion on 3155 South Jefferson Avenue in Saint Louis, Missouri, built by Ferdinand Herold – the president of the Cherokee Brewery and a pioneer of the brewing industry. The famous Richardsonian Romanesque Revival estate features 6,000 square feet of living space with soaring 12-foot ceilings and unmatched millwork and plasterwork, offering a unique opportunity to restore a true historic landmark. The entrance greets you with a Cherokee Chief keystone adorning the grand archway, setting the stage for the elegance that follows within. Expansive park views of Benton Park add to the home’s stately presence, while an oversized detached garage offers the ideal chance for restoring the former carriage house apartment. Inside, the home features five spacious bedrooms, six bathrooms, two fireplaces, and a stone and rock basement that adds character to this historic beauty. The property is ripe for redevelopment and already prepped for transformation, featuring a 400-amp underground electrical service installed. In addition, it qualifies for both state (25%) and federal (20%) tax credits, equating to up to 45% of qualified rehab expenses in sellable/transferrable tax credits. Conveniently located in the heart of South St. Louis, the mansion is steps away from Benton Park and minutes from the city’s most beloved neighborhoods.
