About This Home

Welcome to 27 Forest Acres, a contemporary 4-bedroom, 5.5 bath home in the sought-after Lansing School District. Set on a private lot with mature woods, this spacious and thoughtfully updated property offers comfort, flexibility, and modern convenience—just 14 minutes from Cornell University.

On the main level, a gracious foyer opens to expansive, light-filled living areas with gleaming hardwood floors. A warm sitting room features a wood-burning fireplace with tile surround and custom wood mantel, along with large windows that frame serene backyard views. The space transitions smoothly into an adjacent living room with sliding glass doors that open to a large, private back deck—perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

The layout continues with a well-appointed kitchen offering generous cabinetry, tile floors, double oven, and a formal dining room. The adjacent main level laundry room offers easy access and practicality. A versatile den with a full bath offers the perfect work-from-home setup, featuring a spiral staircase that provides private access to the primary bedroom above. Fresh interior paint and brand-new carpeting throughout enhance the home’s clean, move-in-ready appeal.

Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, including two that share a full bath, and an oversized primary suite featuring a walk-in shower, whirlpool tub, and dual vanity. Additional bathrooms ensure convenience for family and guests.

The lower level includes a finished recreation room—ideal for a home gym, yoga, playroom, or media lounge—plus a full unfinished basement offering potential for expansion.

Outside, enjoy the large deck, a beautifully landscaped yard, a horseshoe-shaped driveway, and a 2-car attached garage. With a flexible layout, thoughtful updates, and a quiet, convenient location, 27 Forest Acres is a rare opportunity in Lansing. Open House Saturday 8/9 from 11:00AM-12:30PM
