5872 Cabanne Ave is a 5-bed, 3.5+ bath home in St. Louis’ West End, listed at $180K. The house sits at a low price per square foot (about $55), which is far below the neighborhood comp averages ($72–$187). Many big-ticket updates—plumbing, electrical, roof, windows—are already done, leaving mostly cosmetic finishing. The neighborhood’s median listing price is $175K, and comps for similar large homes estimate values between $185K and $223K. So, there’s a solid equity buffer if the remaining work is completed efficiently.
If you’re an investor, this one’s worth a serious look—especially if you’re handy or have a reliable contractor. The hard (and expensive) parts are mostly done, so you can focus your budget on finishes that will wow buyers. For homeowners, sprucing up the interiors (floors, kitchens, baths) will boost appeal and market value. Don’t skimp on curb appeal, either. The flip math works if you keep reno costs under control.
