531 S Forest Lane, Republic, MO 65738

Here's another opportunity in Republic--back on the market through no fault of the home. Don't let the square footage fool you--this 3-bedroom, 2-bath packs a lot into 1,256 square feet. A two-car garage, spacious fenced backyard, covered and open deck, new roof, newly replaced solar panels, and plenty of useful outdoor features help this one stand out at this price point.Built in 2019 and sitting on a flat .26-acre lot, the practical layout is complemented by outdoor space that's ready to enjoy. The wood privacy fence surrounds a backyard with a fire pit, established blackberry bushes, raised garden beds, and a storage shed with a built-in workbench and pegboard. The large back deck gives you both covered space to relax and an open area for grilling.There's another big benefit here--the solar. With an accepted offer, the seller will pay off the existing solar obligation at closing, giving the buyer the benefit of solar with no monthly solar payment and the potential for significantly lower electric costs.The roof, solar panels, gutters, and some siding were replaced in August 2026. Add in the convenient Republic location and manageable upkeep, and this home offers a lot more than you might expect at first glance.
