About 1560 Forrest Avenue NE

Make Creston Yours—A Renovation Opportunity with Room to Build Equity An entry-level Creston price, original hardwood floors, and a fenced backyard set the stage for your next flip or a home of your own. At 1560 Forrest, the opportunity is to buy before the improvements—and create the finished result. With finished homes in the surrounding market selling at higher prices, this is a compelling opening for an investor ready for the next project—or a buyer ready to make Creston home. Built in 1915, this two-bedroom, one-bath home features original hardwood floors and a verified 970 square feet above grade. The efficient size means fewer square feet to renovate and a focused opportunity to put your improvement dollars to work. A fenced backyard adds outdoor space for gardening, summer meals, or relaxing at home, while Lucy's, Café Mamo, Sweet Street Park, and Briggs Park are all within close distance—making neighborhood dining and outdoor recreation part of everyday life. For contractors, flippers, and investors with established crews, the appeal is straightforward: a Creston location, a lower acquisition price, and control over the renovation strategy. Choose your scope, source your materials, and bring your own team. For a first-time buyer or owner-occupant prepared to take on a project, this is a sweat-equity opportunity with the freedom to choose the finishes and create a home around your own priorities. A completed pre-listing inspection and supporting property documents provide a more informed starting point for planning your improvements. Review the Property Opportunity & Due Diligence Blueprint and supporting reports in Attached MLS Documents. The home is being sold AS IS and requires renovation. Cash, private or portfolio financing, or an appropriate renovation loan will likely be required. (There is no garage or off-street parking.) Whether you're renovating for resale or creating a home of your own, buy the Creston location and make the improvements yours. Schedule your showing and take the first step toward turning this opportunity into equity. Highest and best offer Deadline set for Tuesday 11/3 at 12:00PM.
