Calling all DIYers, flippers, and visionaries! If you've been waiting for the perfect project, this is it! Located on a beautiful, tree-lined street in a sought-after neighborhood of Forest Park, this home is ready for its next chapter.

The finished basement features a private street-level entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, storage, and one-car garage—ideal for an in-law suite, guests, or rental potential. Big-ticket items are already in place with a heat pump just 5 years old, a gas water heater only 3 years old, and an updated washer and dryer. Bring your paintbrush, your ideas, and your imagination—this is your chance to transform a diamond in the rough into something truly special!
Forest Park, located between Highland Park and Avondale, is a historic and residential Birmingham neighborhood with a leafy park core and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Clairmont Avenue near the Forest Park golf course, where porch-lit streets meet a small run of local dining and patio chatter. The Garage Café and Rojo serve as longtime gathering spots, while the Birmingham Botanical Gardens adds a cultivated, quiet counterpoint nearby. Tudor Revival and Craftsman homes line curving blocks that rise and dip with the ridge. Sidewalk strolls trace pocket greens, stone walls, and mature trees. The pace reads calm, with city energy close enough to register.
