5696 Kingsbury Ave

A renovated early 20th-century low-rise condominium in Saint Louis, originally completed in 1916 and configured primarily as one-bedroom apartments. The masonry façade and classic massing have been updated with modern systems including a new roof and deck (2019) while the interior units feature open floorplans, hardwood or laminate flooring, granite counters, custom cabinetry, and in-unit washer/dryer combos. Units vary between corner/end and upper- or lower-level positions; many include private balconies or decks and storage lockers in the basement. Common areas emphasize daily living conveniences: a secured entry with gated parking for assigned spaces, elevator service, a fitness room, a residents’ lounge with kitchen/pantry, free laundry facilities on multiple floors, and additional shared kitchen/party area. Exterior amenities include a courtyard, lighting, and private entrances for some units; seasonal neighborhood pool access is available via membership or fee. Parking is controlled and gated with remote access for assigned spaces. The location sits in the Debaliviere/Central West End corridor, two blocks from the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink station and within easy walking distance of Forest Park, museums, hospitals, universities, restaurants, and the Delmar Loop. The building’s combination of historic character, updated mechanicals, and transit-oriented placement supports a walkable, urban lifestyle with straightforward condo services rather than full-service staffing.
