Built in 2020 as the builder's display home, 4424 Vista Avenue was finished with a level of detail you'd normally expect in a custom build. It sits on a block of newer contemporary homes in one of St. Louis's most sought-after city neighborhoods. The exterior combines low-maintenance Nichiha fiber-cement siding with a warm wood-tone accent wall, insulated Kolbe casement windows, and a covered front entry.

Inside, the main level is open from front to back, with 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and engineered hardwood flooring throughout. The dining room sits at the front of the home, framed by corner windows and a modern Sputnik chandelier. It flows into a kitchen designed for cooking and entertaining. You'll find gray Shaker cabinetry with tall pantry storage and quartz countertops. The oversized waterfall island has an undermount sink and breakfast-bar seating. Stainless appliances include a KitchenAid gas range with a chimney hood and a newer refrigerator. The living room is anchored by a striking open-tread staircase with solid wood treads and a metal railing, and clerestory windows on both sides bring in natural light. A spacious mud room at the rear has a built-in bench and cubbies, room for a coffee bar, and a sliding door to the deck. A powder room on the main level is convenient for guests.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers two closets, both fitted with new custom organizers. The en suite bath has a dual-sink quartz vanity, tile flooring, and a walk-in shower with a tile surround and frameless glass. Two additional bedrooms, one with a wall of closets and one with a double closet, share a hall bath with a tiled tub/shower. Laundry is on the bedroom level, right where you need it. Zoned HVAC keeps all three levels comfortable and efficient.

The partially finished lower level has a distinct industrial character. It features exposed ceiling joists, a durable metallic epoxy floor, and knotty pine walls. It's a versatile space for a family room, rec room, home gym, or office, and a freestanding bar with two stools is included. The lower-level full bath is a standout, with pine plank walls and ceiling, a marble-topped vanity, matte black fixtures, and a freestanding soaking tub.

Outside, step from the mud room onto a generous deck with a modern metal railing and string lights. From there, head down to the paver patio and covered gazebo, complete with a ceiling fan, lighting, and a mounted TV that stays with the home. The yard is fully fenced. A 2-car detached garage off the alley, a rare find in the city, has a quiet wall-mounted opener and overhead storage racks.

Recent updates include a new patio door, front storm door, and front window, a newer refrigerator, and custom closet systems. The owners also added the patio gazebo, a replacement sump pump, a professionally installed waterproofing system, and a security system. The owners also finished the lower level and added its full bath.
