About This Home

As of October 2022

1931 home with a Bay View! Forest St in the iconic, highly desirable South Hill neighborhood! With solid oak bedroom floorings and leaded glass windows throughout. The kitchen has a breakfast nook with a partial stunning Bay view, built-in corner glass-fronted display cabinet, character ceiling fan and built-in ironing board. Note the beautiful glass door knobs, the built-in kitchen spice, canned, and pie cabinets along with the built-in phone shelf and incredible transition arches. Fireplace in the front room! Views from the living and dining rooms! And you gotta love the original brick exterior. The big, elevated backyard could possibly host an ADU with another killer view (and maybe an entrance from Garden St.?)
