About This Home

As of April 2026

Welcome to 159 Forrest Ave in the desirable Burgundy Hills neighborhood of Southampton—a spacious and lovingly cared-for split-level home.
Located within the highly regarded Centennial School District and just around corner from the local elementary school, Davis Elementary, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers a flexible layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A standout feature is the expansive sunroom, filled with natural light and perfect for year-round enjoyment—whether you're hosting guests or simply relaxing with a morning coffee.
The outdoor space is equally inviting, featuring fully fenced-in raised garden beds equipped with a spigot and hose on either end of the garden. Inside, you’ll find a wood burning fireplace at the lower level family room. A small door next to the fire opens up to wood storage accessible from the garage.
This home has been proudly maintained by the same owners for the past 43 years, reflecting a true sense of care and stewardship. While it may offer an opportunity for cosmetic updates, it provides a solid and well-kept foundation to make it your own.
Over the years, thoughtful additions have expanded the living space beyond what public records reflect, offering more room than you might expect on paper.
Ideally located near local favorites like Tamanend Park (check out the Story Stroll with young kids!) and Upper Southampton Community Center, you’ll have easy access to scenic walking trails, recreation, and community events. Shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away along Street and County Line Road. Local gems include Ben and Irv’s Deli and thrifting at Holy Redeemer Thrift. It's also worth noting - only a 12 min. drive to the beloved Stutz Candy Company! This home combines space and potential in a sought-after community. Come see the possibilities and envision your next chapter here.
