About this property

Modern meets Historic, Natural Lighting + High Ceilings, Near Metro

High ceilings, exposed brick walls, & beautiful Brazilian cherry wood floors make this luxury loft a place you won’t easily forget. The perfect cross between modern & historic, with updated appliances and historic features. Conveniently located near the metro station and just a short ride to downtown St. Louis, Scott Air Force Base, and Southwestern Community College (SWIC), and is walking distance to the St. Clair County Courthouse. You'll fall in love with this amazing loft and the location!

The space
This spacious, luxury loft is part of the historic Reichert building that was built in 1879 by the Reichert Family. You will love the fine details of this historic loft, including the original, burled wood doors and impressive woodworking details throughout the second floor. The 2400 square foot second floor was once used as a mercantile and a boarding house. During Prohibition, the 2400 square foot third floor was converted to a speakeasy. The building was completely renovated while keeping the original trim, doors and windows.
In the commercial space below, we have a small venue space/wine/bourbon bar that has live music on Thursday through Saturday. The music is usually from 7-11pm. Most guests come down and enjoy.

Location
Located in downtown Belleville, and walking distance to shops and restaurants and the court house. Conveniently located near the metro station and just a short ride to downtown St. Louis, Scott Air Force Base, and Southwestern Community College (SWIC). Only a few blocks away from St. Clair County Courthouse.

TV & Internet
Guests have internet access throughout both floors. 42” in living room on the second floor. 42” on third floor. Both TVs have Cable access.

This property has plenty of space for you to spread out. The third floor is complete with rec area, bar, and full kitchen. Enjoy a drink! Relax with a game of ping pong.

This gourmet kitchen is complete with granite counters and a built-in breakfast bar. Guests always comment on the impressive, modern fridge and freezer. The 6 burner gas stove is perfect for cooking up a family dinner, and we provide all the cooking and dish ware you need. Enough seating for everyone to sit together and enjoy a meal.

The home has one private parking space, located in the back parking lot which is attached to the building. Additional street parking spots are available.

Accessibility & Security
There are 4 stairs outside the unit and roughly 28 stairs going up to the unit itself. From the second floor to the third floor also has stairway. The 2nd and 3rd floors do not have an elevator so you must be able to climb the staircase and carry luggage. This is a historic building, so the stairs are steep.

Only thing

The only thing I did not know when I rented it was just how many stairs there were to get to the main level… Since most of our party were 70 years or older, the initial staircase was a bit of a challenge Otherwise, it was a very pleasant day and environment

Perfect Experience

My family and I loved our stay here. The pictures in the listing do not capture how beautiful this property is. Everything is clean and well cared for. Very comfortable. There is plenty of space for a large group. The owner was super nice during check in. I like that she had a binder of information for anything we might need to know, like how to work the tv and nearby businesses. 100% would stay here again.

Perfect Place for Two Families

If you have a large group this condo will be perfect for you, we had plenty of space for our two families. The condo is located in a historic older building with lots of charm. The main kitchen had everything you might need and the frig is huge. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are great sized and the water pressure in the showers is nice and strong. The condo is located right on Main Street and you can walk to shops, restaurants, and bars. Our host met us at check-in and was very nice showed everything and gave us some good recommendations. We will be back.

Amazing!!!

This is a very cool property. The downtown, old building touches was beautiful. We had plenty of space for 8. Wonderful kitchen as we fixed meals and had plenty of space… cant beat the downstairs Bourbon Bar and live music that the adults enjoyed in the evening. Only 20-25 minutes from downtown St. Louis so made our visit so worth it. The host was amazing as Conni was easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Would stay again.

Fabulous character property

We had two families stay at this property for a weekend getaway before school started. The loft is such an incredible space with great character. It is apparent the owners have put a lot of work into the property and are still working on it. Things to be aware of, it is an old building with a steep narrow stairwell to get to the residence floor. Conni was very communicative until she got tied up at the bar on the first floor, which they also own. She escorted is up personally and gave us a tour when we arrived. We really enjoyed our evenings on the balcony after the kids went to bed since we had beautiful weather. All in all it was a yolace to stay for a great price. With able bodies people who have no issues with stairs, we would definitely stay there again?

Historical!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Coni was on site to greet us. She is very friendly and personally gave us a tour of the property along with a short history of the place. We all loved the story of how the third floor used to be speakeasy back in the day. Although it was a bit drafty in one of the rooms, it was very spacious and comfortable. We were there over a weekend and there was a small band playing in the Venue on the first floor but the music was not too loud and was enjoyable. My daughter and I were there for a niece's bridal shower and we had plenty of room to complete last minute details for the big day. There was still some restoration work going on in the foyer but it was not a hindrance. I can't wait to see it when it's all completed. My family and I would definitely stay again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Conni Tilley

Host profile image
Conni and Bill have been married for 33 years. They have one son and live about 1-1/2 miles from the loft. Conni works in the building so she is readily available in case anything is needed. In 33 years of marriage, they have traveled all over the US and internationally.

We love meeting new people and sharing stories!

Why they chose this property

This is an amazing building with lots of great history. In the 1920's, the 3rd floor was used as a speakeasy. In the later years, the 2nd floor was a boarding house. Rumor has it that Samuel Clemens stayed here while passing through.

What makes this property unique

The loft is very spacious, with lots of common space to spread out. You will have access to both the second and third floors of this space.
