Exceptional Opportunity in the Heart of Forest Park!

The remarkable lot offers an abundance of outdoor space rarely found in a property of this type. A four-car brick garage, accessible from both the concrete driveway and alley, provides exceptional parking and storage. Separate gas, electric, and heating systems add convenience and flexibility. An unfinished basement provides additional storage.
