Description
Two Houses for the Price of One. Best location in Forest Park. Sweet tree-lined street just a stone's throw from Starbucks. Unique opportunity to purchase a home and a Coach House in the heart of downtown Forest Park. Front House has 3 beds and 2 baths. Charm abounds, with an updated eat-in kitchen, newly updated 2nd floor full bath, open front porch, sky lights, it's own yard and more. The Coach house has 2 small bedrooms and 1 bath. It was renovated in 2017 with a brand new bathroom, updated electric and plumbing, new drywall and many new windows. New furnace 2019. The attic was insulated and finished several years ago and provides the coziest bonus space anyone could hope for. Each home has it's own yard. Both Homes are currently rented at lower-than-market rates: 1800/month for the Coach house and 2200 for the front house. Two car garage, parking pad for 1 car and a storage shed complete the property. Kensington Research has been engaged for tax appeal (taxes were raised alarmingly last year). First appeal resulted in a 5k decrease (decrease will be seen on 2nd installment of 2021 tax bill). Appeal process for additional savings will continue at the Board of Review later this year. Property, although well cared-for, will be conveyed as-is. Broker Owned.
