About This Home
As of June 2023Welcome to 513 Forest Hills a beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom, single family home, with a fully finished basement. The highlight of the inviting first floor is a spacious living room with an abundance of natural light throughout. A wood burning fireplace insert adorns the middle of the living room making cold nights cozy and warm. The chimney has a new liner which will last for years to come. The side porch accessed from the living room is a welcoming outdoor spot to enjoy morning coffee or relaxing on a warm night.
The charming updated kitchen leads to the remodeled deck for entertaining and grilling. The second floor offers 3 large bedrooms or one for office use. There are pull down stairs to the attic offering great storage space. When not using the deck or side porch, you can move to the large finished basement, which contains a half bath and laundry room. Not to worry, the basement offers plenty of living space for relaxing or entertaining family and friends, and still has plenty of storage space. The detached one and a half car garage offers additional storage space.
The home features amenities including new front steps, new roof in 2022 and trex deck in 2021. It's situated close to shopping centers and public transportation. This home is waiting for you to move in and call it yours!
