Property Description

Not every home has a personality. This one has soul. This one-of-a-kind farmhouse sits on a rare oversized lot just 1.5 blocks from Forest Park's vibrant Madison Street, offering the perfect blend of timeless charm, modern updates, and an unbeatable location. Inside, you'll find the character you can't recreate-soaring ceilings, beautiful original woodwork, rich hardwood floors, and inviting spaces that instantly feel like home. The formal dining room with its beamed ceiling is made for memorable dinners, while the updated kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and practical mudroom make everyday living easy. Upstairs, the oversized bathroom features a dual vanity and the convenience of second-floor laundry. Outside, the expansive, fully fenced yard offers room to entertain, garden, play, or simply enjoy your own private retreat. Relax with your morning coffee on one of two welcoming front porches, then imagine the possibilities waiting in the full unfinished basement-a blank canvas ready for your vision. With copper water service already in place and Forest Park's restaurants, boutiques, parks, and entertainment just around the corner, this home offers a rare combination of space, character, and location that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Some homes check the boxes. This one steals your heart
