Built in 1930, the classic historic layout features all four spacious bedrooms upstairs with one hall bath, plus a convenient full bath on the main level. A hallmark of older homes in Forest Park is a gracious front porch and this one is a credit to the neighborhood...or choose to unwind in the cozy heated and cooled sunroom off the living room. Renovated homes nearby are selling in the $700k-$800k range showcasing the incredible upside as an investment. This home is ready for its next chapter – give it the updating it's waiting on for the next generation to call home! Vacant and easy to show. Park and enter on Glenwood Ave side.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
