Historic Charm & Important Notes:
The Penny was built in the 1890s and proudly retains much of its original character. If you love historic architecture, you'll appreciate the details that make century homes so special.
Like many homes of this age, you'll notice a few charming quirks:
Original hardwood floors may creak.
Some original doors may occasionally stick or close differently than those in newer homes.
The home features beautiful clawfoot tubs, which require stepping over the tub wall and may not be ideal for guests with limited mobility.
While we've updated the home with modern amenities like Wi-Fi, streaming TV, comfortable beds, and central air, it won't feel exactly like a brand-new build—and that's part of its charm.
Tower Grove East is a historic, diverse urban neighborhood filled with beautiful architecture, local restaurants, coffee shops, and longtime residents. Like most city neighborhoods, you may occasionally hear normal street activity and neighborhood sounds.
Street parking is readily available, and a small parking pad is located behind the home. Please note that larger SUVs and trucks may not fit comfortably in the rear parking space. Detailed parking instructions are provided before check-in.
