Property Description

Seller's motivation to close in January or February 2026 is YOUR opportunity. You are walking into equity at this price. BACK ON MARKET TO NO FAULT OF THE SELLER! BUYER FINANCING FELL THROUGH! ALL DUE DILIGENCE HAD BEEN COMPLETED. The pricing is intentional: positioned below like-kind and like-size comps to drive activity, shorten days on market, and give buyers instant equity potential. Perfect for those seeking a renovated Forest Park home without the renovation budget. This house is situated on a premium lot, on a highly sought-after street. Privacy made for everyday comfort AND hosting/entertaining guests. Additional highlights include main-level laundry, a fully floored attic for storage or expansion, and a lot with potential to add a rear driveway with direct kitchen access. Walkable to Juniper, The General, Red or White, The Rougaroux, and all your neighborhood favorites. This meticulously cared for home won’t last long. A list of comprehensive updates available upon request.
