Live St. Charles listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
The two-story is the signature St. Charles house. The 1988–2009 subdivision wave built thousands of them: Hunt Club’s 3,200–3,800-square-foot two-stories recently closed from $705K to $950K, Charlemagne’s from $485K to $578K, Renaux Manor’s from $500K to $615K, and the custom two-stories of Majestic Oaks from $785K to $1.14M. If you want four bedrooms up, formal and informal living down, and a basement under it all, this market has more of it — across more price points — than anywhere else in the Tri-Cities.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect 2,000 to 4,500+ square feet with three to six bedrooms, the primary suite up, and two- or three-car garages. The 1990s cohort delivers the classic center-hall layouts; customs in Majestic Oaks and Royal Fox add volume ceilings, main-floor offices, and finished walkouts. Most price bands from the high-$400Ks to $1M+ are represented at any given time, which makes the two-story the easiest product to comparison-shop in town.
Subdivision character drives value between otherwise similar homes: Hunt Club trades at a premium for its close-to-downtown east-side position; Charlemagne is the value entry for the same era; Renaux Manor answers on the west side with trail access; and the customs (Majestic Oaks, Royal Fox) separate on lot, architecture, and finish. Price per square foot swings meaningfully between these — we price from inside each subdivision.
On 1990s two-stories, the cost drivers are roofs, siding, windows, and HVAC — all at or past first-replacement age. Ask what’s been done, not just when it was built; a mechanically updated home is worth real money over an original-condition twin. Finished basements add usable space but verify permits on major work. We include a capital-items review in every offer strategy.
Two-stories are the market’s liquid middle: enough supply to choose from, enough demand to move fast. Over half of recent sales closed above list, and the best-presented homes in Hunt Club and Charlemagne set the pace. Sellers: presentation photography and pre-list prep return multiples here. Buyers: know your must-have floor plan features before you tour — the good ones don’t wait.
