This is the kind of street people hope to land on. Just north of Forest Ave, a few blocks from Drake and the Blue Oval Stadium, this brick cottage sits quietly at the end of the road tree-lined, calm, and surrounded by other classic homes that feel established and solid. Inside, the home is livable and full of character, including a charming (decorative) fireplace and a layout that's easy to work with. Out back, an east-facing deck catches the morning light, while a shed and plenty of off-street parking add everyday practicality you don't always get this close to campus. Rented for the past ten years, this home works equally well as a student rental, long-term investment, or a renovation project ready for its next chapter. It's a clean slate with charm, in a location that does the heavy lifting.
