Welcome to 5972 Cates, built in 2002 and thoughtfully updated throughout. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with soaring ceilings and rich hardwood floors that set the tone for a home that delivers on space, style, and location. The open floor plan was designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with generous living and dining areas that flow into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring solid-surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island built for gathering. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a private retreat with its own en suite bath, while four additional bedrooms and multiple updated bathrooms leave room for family, guests, home offices, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Downstairs, a fully finished basement adds even more living space, perfect for a rec room, media area, home gym, or guest quarters, along with plenty of storage. Major updates have already been done: a brand-new roof, newer HVAC, and a fully fenced yard add additional peace of mind. All of this sits on a large lot in one of St. Louis' most convenient locations, with easy access to Forest Park, Washington University, the Delmar Loop, the Central West End, and some of the city's best dining, shopping, and entertainment. Five bedrooms, a finished lower level, and updates throughout, all on one of the area's most desirable blocks. You'll fall in love the moment you step inside!
