St. Louis real estate agent and community affairs blogger Steve Patterson used his Urban Review St. Louis blog to highlight one of his listed properties included in last years' Big BIG Tour of available urban homes hosted by ReVitalize St. Louis'
The March 07 tour is long over, but the photos reveal the interior of what used to be a typical four room shotgun home.
As Steve explained, "I think this home may change your perceptions about what a shotgun house can look like. The owner of this house (which is not me, btw) relocated the kitchen from the back to the second room. This creates a public space in the front two rooms with a private bedroom area at the back. At just over 900sf, this is larger than some new lofts."
Though expired, the MLS listing with more photos is still online.
You may be able to fire a shotgun through one around here but you can't fire and not hit one. Which one should we start with?

I love seeing all the different ways shotgun houses are "reconfigured".
I think the Gregories are notorious for having shotgun properties...
Hey Jeff:
Nice looking shotgun. The CHDO has four (three still available) of these with a similar floorplan—kitchen up front with the living room. We also have added a camelback with two more bedrooms and a second bathroom upstairs—about 1300 square feet total, with a front porch and a back deck, vaulted ceilings in the living room, extra common room upstairs. Appliances included.
And first time homebuying families in our education/financial literacy program will pay as much as $20,000 under appraisal.
