533 Clara Ave

The Clara Condominiums are a low-rise, early 20th-century residential conversion built in 1913 and rehabbed in 2006, set in the Central West End/DeBaliviere Place area of Saint Louis. The three-story masonry structure surrounds a landscaped central courtyard and offers a mix of one- to three-bedroom condominium homes across stacked and end-unit plans. Interiors emphasize classic details—high ceilings, crown moulding, decorative fireplaces, and special millwork—alongside modern updates such as granite and solid-surface countertops, stainless appliances, in-unit laundry, and custom cabinetry. Many residences include sunrooms or dens, private covered porches or balconies overlooking the courtyard, and generous storage including basement lockers. Common elements are well-maintained: a gated, secured parking lot with assigned spaces, updated roof and re-tuck pointing performed in the 2010s, and building systems modernized during the gut rehab. The location is highly walkable, minutes from Forest Park, Washington University, MetroLink/Delmar trolley, restaurants, museums, and neighborhood services, making the building an established urban option for residents seeking historic character with contemporary conveniences.
