This charming 1925 cottage at 4212 10th Avenue south in the heart of Forest Park, is one of only a few original cottages left in the neighborhood. Shaded by a stately white oak tree in the front, there is a nice breeze as you walk around the yard. A UAB professor lived here for the last 30 years until his retirement to Florida. Most of the charming, starter cottages built in Forest Park in the 1920’s have been torn down and replaced with larger residences. That makes this cottage even more special. The history of this area is alive in this spot. Sit on your front porch and watch the world go by and visit with your neighbors. .33 acre-LARGE flat yard. HVAC-new in 2024. Home to be sold in "AS IS" condition.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
