6238 Loran Ave

Located in the heart of St. Louis Hills and recently vacated by the building's owner, this second-floor 3-bedroom apartment offers room to spread out, thoughtful updates, and a warm neighborhood feel - just steps from Francis Park. You'll have nearly 1,600 square feet to call home, including a large living room with original art glass, a separate dining room, and three true bedrooms. Storage is a standout feature, with nine closets: two in the primary bedroom, one in each additional bedroom, and dedicated closets in the bathroom, living room, and hallway. Natural light fills the space, and every window is fitted with custom blinds. Interior improvements include recently refinished hardwood floors, updated light fixtures throughout, and a full-unit repaint during the most recent occupancy. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, blending clean finishes with original charm. A smart thermostat, updated windows, ceiling fans in each bedroom, a professionally sealed attic, and new insulation help maintain year-round comfort while improving energy efficiency. Exterior improvements include a new roof and a 6' vinyl privacy fence enclosing the backyard. A shared patio, complete with outdoor furniture, offers a quiet space to relax or entertain. The building is owner-managed and well cared for. The downstairs tenant has lived in the building for over 15 years and is a kind and considerate neighbor, adding to the overall sense of stability and community. Francis Park is less than half a block away and features tennis and pickleball courts, Rockwell Beer Garden, and a full calendar of community events like concerts and movie nights. Three-bedroom units are rare in St. Louis Hills - South St. Louis's safest and most desirable neighborhood, with dedicated nighttime security provided by off-duty police officers through a resident-approved special business district.
