About This Home

As of May 2025

Constructed in 2001, the vision here was clear: an oasis that's one of a kind. Up a private driveway and through the front door, you'll be greeted by a two story foyer that compliments the timeless layout of the main floor. To the right, enjoy holidays and gatherings in the dedicated dining room with impeccable hardwood flooring. To the left, welcome guests in a separate sitting area, or work from your home office with newly installed high speed fiber optic internet. Down the hall, spend time with those you care about around the fireplace in the spacious yet cozy living room. As you enter the custom designed eat-in kitchen, you'll be greeted by tons of counter space and a generous center island. A mudroom with laundry and a full bathroom leads you to your 3 car garage. Get lost in a good book in the four seasons sunroom, or simply take note of the nature that surrounds you on this 11+ acre property. Possibilities are endless in the basement - create a home gym, a game room, or a den. No shortage of storage space in the dedicated utility room! Zoned heating and a new radon mitigation system installed in 2023. Stay worry free with a new pump installed in the regularly serviced septic system. The second floor leaves nothing to be desired. Sizable bedrooms with classic finishes and large windows in every room lend lots of natural light, and views of the surrounding landscape. The primary suite includes a bonus room offering total separation and reprieve from everyday hustle. Incredibly well maintained- you don't have to do a thing.The rare 11.3 acres in Abington Heights School District is the perfect backdrop to the timeless exterior of the home. Watch all the seasons change as you roam the land throughout the year. You really can have it all on Forest Acres Drive.
