About This Home
As of December 202426 Forrest Description
Welcome to 26 FORREST AVENUE, all as new in 2024!
A “Mission Canyon” theme lends this custom home a nature-inspired, Southwestern-y vibe.
It’s Cali meets Modern Farmhouse, a perfect hybrid!
This is New Construction, with Three New Levels of Living Space, all skillfully executed with
top quality finishes. There are 4 bedrooms (one on the first floor), and 3.5 baths. Stroll up the
new Paver Walk, and admire the beautiful Siding and Shingles, a No Maintenance perk! Visit the
new covered Front Porch, the ideal spot to sit, sip, and relax. Come into the Family Room, with
its ample space ideal for entertaining and daily lounging. This room is bright and welcoming
with its cozy Fireplace and custom Walnut Mantel. Admire the truly beautiful Solid Maple
Hardwood Floors, and bask in the natural light flowing from Andersen Windows in every
direction!
The stellar Kitchen, with a Walk In Pantry, is the true heart of the home. Standouts here include
Solid Wood Full Height Oak Cabinetry and Fluted Wood Island with Seating; textured Spanish
Tile Backsplash; Saltillo Tile Floors; Quartzite Countertops; Ruvati deep Porcelain Sink; and
new Samsung White Glass Appliance Suite. Fabulous Fixtures and LED Task Lights show it all
off. You’ll want to whip up something delicious! Nearby, the dedicated Dining Room hosts
family feasts and holiday events alike.
Take note of the First Floor Bedroom, equipped with Double Closets and Triple Windows. The
adjacent Full Bath is framed by stylish Graham & Brown Wallpaper. BONUS! The Interior
Walls are Insulated for Privacy. This suite is perfect for Guests, In Laws, to use as an Office, or
it could be a Second Main Bedroom. Follow the grand Maple Staircase to the 2d floor, with its
cool Iron Railing as your guide. At the top, the lively Laundry Room (with a View!) is waiting to
greet you.
Drink in the Main Suite-an epic retreat with its Massive Walk In Closet, Soaring Vaulted
Ceiling, and Clerestory Window, which washes the space with light. In the En-Suite Bath, Two
Sinks top a custom Quartersawn Oak Vanity. The Shower is a separate spa-like oasis, with its
“like handmade” pearly Spanish Tile and Upgraded Modern Fixtures. (NOTE the C-10 Special
Coating on the Shower Glass, which will make cleaning a snap!)
Visit two more bright and spacious Bedrooms (one with Custom Built In Desk) and both with
Triple Windows. The Hall Bath is outfitted with Double Sinks resting in a gorgeous Solid Oak
Vanity. Just picture a soak in the Garden Tub!
SURPRISE! Another Staircase, also with epic Custom Railing, leads to the 3rd Floor. Here, a
Bonus Room is currently set up as a family space…just one use for this flexible spot. Nearby is a
private Half Bath, wrapped in Serena & Lily Wallpaper.
Back downstairs, stop by the gorgeous Screened Porch, accessible through premium “A-Series”
Andersen French Doors. Look up! Here’s a striking Feature Wall, topped by a Vaulted Ceiling.
It’s equipped with a Skylight and remote-operated Ceiling Fan. Look down! Tongue and Groove
we Southern Yellow Pine Floors run smoothly beneath your feet. This is THE spot for summer
suppers and firefly watching!
Check out the new Garage, with its 8 foot Automatic Door, Full Height Windows, Towering
Ceiling, and Storage Bay, all allowing possible Conversion to Living Space. The Full Basement
offers yet more Storage, with Bilco Doors providing outdoor access.
Enjoy the private and level Rear Yard (fully fenced) and its peaceful wooded view. The property
backs onto undeveloped nursery land. Here’s a good sized Shed, completely re-sided, and
upgraded with Electric Service. 26 Forrest Avenue is a special property, on a friendly block. It’s
close to everything, from Princeton to Philly, to Trains, Buses, the Beach, and beyond. Come
Tour Today before it’s gone!
