Located in the 63120 zip code on the north side of St. Louis, Missouri, 5319 Claxton Ave is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property being offered through owner financing with just $2,000 down and $750 per month — well below the prior owner-financed payment of $915/month on this same home. For buyers who understand value and aren't afraid of a project, this is the kind of opportunity the St. Louis north side still produces for those paying attention. Let's be upfront: this is a handyman special. The home was vacated in October 2025 after a tenant left it in rough condition, and it will need work. That said, the seller completed new plumbing and a new water heater in 2024 — two of the most expensive and disruptive systems to replace in any home. That's real, documented work done on the property, and it matters when you're pricing out a renovation. The 63120 corridor has seen steady buyer interest as investors and owner-occupants alike continue targeting north St. Louis for affordable entry points with room for equity growth. At an $85,000 purchase price with owner financing — no traditional bank loan required — this home is priced to reflect its current condition while offering meaningful upside for anyone willing to put in the effort. Whether you're a hands-on homebuyer looking to build sweat equity, an investor adding to your St. Louis portfolio, or a buyer who simply needs a realistic path to ownership without conventional financing barriers, Claxton Ave deserves a serious look. All homes sold as-is. Buyers are encouraged to inspect and evaluate thoroughly before committing. ---
