About this House
What's unique:Original hardwoods refinishedGood-sized side yard
This 3-bed, 1.5-bath home at 115 E John Street in Forrest has been wonderful. We have upgraded much of the home. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated, original hardwoods refinished, new high efficiency HVAC system, water softener/filtration (owned), and landscaping have recently been taken care of. There is an unfinished basement with plenty of room for storage and another seating area.
There’s a good-sized side yard and an insulated 2-car detached garage that easily doubles as a workspace. It’s only a few blocks from Prairie Central Upper Elementary. It’s a solid, well-kept home, with lots of the original woodwork in a quiet little town, ready for someone to move in and make it theirs.
The home is being sold as-is and will be available to close on March 1st 2027. Not offering rent to own. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a showing, serious inquiries only. Proof of funds or pre-approval is required before an offer is accepted.
