Listing description

A light-filled corner setting and thoughtfully designed living spaces define 918 Catharine Street, a spacious 4-bedroom/2.5-bathroom Bella Vista home with hardwood floors throughout, a newly renovated custom kitchen, and a roof deck with city views. Enter into the first-floor living room, where high ceilings and a gas fireplace create an inviting introduction to the home. The adjacent custom-designed eat-in kitchen features high-end appliances and generous space for everyday meals and entertaining. A conveniently located powder room and pantry complete this level. On the second floor, a family room overlooks the living room below, creating an open connection between the home’s gathering spaces. The primary bedroom suite offers a private retreat with its own balcony. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a hall bathroom occupy the third floor, providing flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Above it all, the roof deck offers city views and space to relax or entertain outdoors. The finished basement adds a recreation room, laundry, and storage, while leased parking one block away brings everyday convenience. In the heart of the vibrant Bella Vista neighborhood, it is just moments from the Palumbo Rec Center and playground, the Italian Market, and neighborhood favorites including Angelo’s Pizzeria, Isgro Pastries, and Fiorella. Seller will provide 1-year prepaid parking.
