Property Description
The sweetest all-brick Georgian on highly sought-after Forest Road. Charm abounds in this house, in the yard, the block, the neighborhood. Walking distance to Forest Road School, this home has been loved and cared for by its owners. Beautiful, modern wall colors throughout, refinished hardwoods on both the main level and 2nd level. Wainscotting in the Dining room. Original arched entryways and many classic features throughout. The house has been updated and freshened with a fantastic deck, lovely yard, and a 2-car garage. The front driveway is concrete, and the back is asphalt, just sealed. The family room is a great space to hang out and relax, lots of storage in this one too. Great schools, parks, location. Truly a gem!
