Some homes are updated. This one was rebuilt to last another century. Taken all the way down to the studs — and reinforced with new structural steel under the guidance of a structural engineer — 510 N Cherry Street pairs the warmth and craftsmanship of a 1917 home with the solidity, efficiency, and comfort of new construction. This is not a quick flip, and it’s certainly not a cookie-cutter subdivision build. It’s a thoughtful, top-to-bottom renovation for a buyer who values quality that lasts a lifetime.

A Park-Like Setting

Set on a corner lot framed by tall, mature trees, the property feels like a private park. A leafy canopy shades the backyard through summer, and abundant, professionally designed landscaping surrounds the home in greenery. A wide driveway leads to the attached garage, while the classic, full-width covered front porch gives this one-and-a-half-story Cape Cod its timeless, welcoming character.

Classic Character, Modern Comfort

Step inside and the 1917 charm is all feeling, none of the age. Solid oak hardwood floors — brand new, but true to the home’s original character — flow from the living room through the dining area, into the kitchen, and on into the main-level primary suite. New insulated windows fill the rooms with light, and the main-floor primary means comfortable single-level living, with more space waiting upstairs.

A Kitchen Worth Gathering In

The custom kitchen is a showpiece: handsome cabinetry with soft-close doors, slide-out drawers, and smart storage throughout, topped with quartz counters and finished with a subway-tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. A sunny breakfast nook sits just off the kitchen for casual mornings, complementing the separate, more formal dining area. French doors open straight to the covered deck.

Restful Bedrooms & Renovated Baths

The main-level primary suite includes a private, fully renovated bath with a beautifully tiled shower surround, plus a generous walk-in closet. A second full bath on the main level — tub-and-shower combination with easy-care luxury vinyl plank flooring — has been completely modernized. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with large double closets are warm and cozy underfoot, and a quiet office nook offers the perfect spot to work or study.

Built for Outdoor Living

Out back, the covered composite deck — low-maintenance, with a ceiling fan and room for dining and grilling — overlooks that park-like yard, an ideal place to linger over morning coffee. The rear yard is fully fenced and kept lush by a full irrigation system, while an oversized storage shed with front and side access gives gardeners and hobbyists all the room they need for tools and toys. And the oversized two-car attached garage offers even more: finished interior walls, ample storage, and plenty of space for cabinetry or a workshop.

Mechanical Peace of Mind

Behind the beauty, every major system is new: a Daikin HVAC system with all-new ductwork plus an integrated humidifier and dehumidifier, all-new interior plumbing, a new electrical panel with room to grow, a new sump pump with the protection of a battery back-up, a newer water heater, and a new roof, siding, and insulated windows. There is even an additonal half-bath (toilet and sink) plumbed in the lower level. From the structural steel beams to the impeccably upgraded mechanical systems, this home was rebuilt to be solid, efficient, and worry-free.

Perfectly Placed in O’Fallon

Beyond the home itself, the setting delivers. 510 N Cherry sits in the heart of O’Fallon — a welcoming Metro East community known for its quaint downtown, top-rated schools, and easy access to the city. Downtown St. Louis is about 18 miles away, roughly a 20-minute drive via nearby Interstate 64, putting the Gateway Arch, Forest Park, professional sports, and big-city dining within easy reach — and the MetroLink light rail at the Shiloh-Scott Station offers a car-free ride into town. Families are especially drawn here for the schools, with O’Fallon’s K-8 District 90 ranked among the top 20% in Illinois and O’Fallon Township High School consistently among the state’s top 100.

Outdoor life is a genuine point of pride, too — from the 200-acre Family Sports Park, with its walking paths, free splash pad, and ballfields, to the shaded nature trails of Rock Springs Park, plus a dozen city parks, tennis and pickleball courts, miles of paved MetroBikeLink trails, and the O’Fallon YMCA. And for the many households connected to Scott Air Force Base, home is just a 10- to 15-minute commute. Small-town charm with big-city convenience, all from one of Metro East’s most sought-after communities.

Move In With Confidence

A century of character, none of the compromises. From the structure to the finishes, 510 N Cherry was renovated with care and built to last — all that’s left is to make it home.
