About This Home

As of July 2026

Amazing opportunity to lean into charm with this two story home in desirable Forest Hills neighborhood. Original casement and sash windows have been lovingly restored. Upstairs office could be 3rd bedroom. Enchanting side porch overlooks blueberry bushes. Plenty of outdoor living space with deck, patio, and a partially fenced yard. Hardwood floors, arched doorways, and natural light abound. Unfinished basement offers workshop potential. Site built garden shed. Perfect location in park-like setting yet close to downtown and Rockwood area!
