I’m selling this home directly as the sole owner holding clear title—no middlemen, no contract assignments, and no wholesaler markups to deal with. This one is a total fixer-upper that needs work, which means there’s plenty of room to roll up your sleeves and build real equity right away. It’s a super affordable entry point whether you're looking to rehab and flip, add to a rental portfolio, or tackle a DIY personal project. I will be adding a batch of extra photos to this listing very shortly. In the meantime, feel free to swing by, check out the lot, and scope out the neighborhood on your own schedule. Details & Terms: I'm open to a fair cash offer, or I can finance it for you with simple seller-held terms. Pricing Options: Fair Cash Offer: $12,500 Owner Financing: $19,500 total price Down Payment: $2,500 Monthly: $400/month
Lincoln Park, located between E Eldorado St and E Pershing Rd, is a residential and park-adjacent Decatur neighborhood with a broad greenbelt and a classic street-grid feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lincoln Park grounds near E Eldorado St, where ballfields, shaded paths, and seasonal activity set the daily rhythm. Early- to mid-century houses mix with tidy brick ranches and mature trees, giving blocks a settled, walkable cadence. Lincoln Park itself anchors outdoor routines with courts, playground areas, and open lawns. Nearby, the Decatur Civic Center and the Transfer House provide cultural and architectural touchpoints tied to city events and local history. Short drives connect to downtown’s independent dining and arts scene without changing the neighborhood’s quieter tempo.
