506 E Park Ave offers the kind of setting that is becoming increasingly hard to find — a peaceful, park-like 1-acre property with a small-town feel and everyday convenience. Here you are tucked away on a no-outlet street, minimal traffic.
The scenic backyard backs to Flat Creek, lined by lush natural vegetation, mature trees, and a picturesque ridge line that creates two expansive layers of mostly level yard space. Designed for both relaxation and recreation, the outdoor setting includes a firepit gathering area, including a playset and classic tire swing hanging beneath a mature shade tree overlooking the expansive yard.
A detached workshop/shed provides additional storage and hobby space, while the oversized one-car carport offers covered parking and strong potential for future garage enclosure.
The Hallmark-like front porch is beautifully framed by two mature trees, perfect for climbing.
Inside, the home features beautiful hardwood flooring, fresh paint, and a recently updated kitchen with calming deep-green cabinetry, a gas range, brand new fridge, and a sink perfectly positioned to overlook the gorgeous backyard. A charming sunroom provides the perfect space for morning coffee, reading, plants, or additional flex space filled with natural light.
The walk-up attic offers excellent potential for future finished recreation space, home office, or just extra storage.
This home is located less than half a mile from Schnucks, and just minutes from local, non-chain restaurants. Nearby, you'll find Union City Park, Veterans Memorial Park, Clark Vitt Park, Hanson Park, and multiple fishing access points including Union Public Fishing Access, Bourbeuse River access areas, and Meramec State Park fishing access providing lots of opportunity for peaceful outdoor activities.
