1810 Thurman Avenue

About this property

Manor Real Estate is pleased to present 1810 Thurman Avenue, a free-standing 807-square-foot commercial building on a 4,835-square-foot lot in the heart of St. Louis’s Shaw neighborhood. Offered at $350,000, this is a rare owner/user opportunity to acquire a turnkey storefront and an adjoining development parcel in one of the city’s most walkable and design-conscious districts. The building has been through a curated, artistic renovation with modern finishes and is currently configured as a luxury barbershop — a fully realized, move-in-ready retail environment rather than a shell requiring capital. Interior furnishings can be made available to a buyer, allowing an operator to take possession and open with minimal downtime. The brick, single-story structure sits on a slab with building signage in place and is delivered vacant, giving a buyer immediate control of the space. What distinguishes this offering is the land. The parcel carries approximately 135 feet of frontage along Thurman Avenue, and the improvements occupy only the western portion of the site. That leaves a side lot of roughly 35 feet by 115 feet available for expansion, outdoor seating, parking, or ground-up development, with a current boundary survey from Minnick Surveying, LLC available to prospective purchasers. Few small-format retail properties in South City come with usable adjacent land already under the same ownership and already surveyed. Shaw is one of St. Louis’s signature historic neighborhoods — tree-lined residential streets, a strong independent retail and restaurant base, and consistent reinvestment from owner-occupants. The location is accessible to Interstate 44 at Grand Boulevard, putting downtown, the Central West End, and the broader metro within easy reach, while the immediate trade area supports the kind of neighborhood-serving service and specialty retail uses the building is already fitted for. The parcel is identified as Lot 21, City Block 5311 (Parcel ID 5311-00-0010-0), with 2025 real estate taxes of $394. Ideal for a barber or salon operator, boutique service user, café, studio, or an investor seeking a small-footprint asset with embedded land value. Shown by appointment.
