About This Home

As of June 2025

Perched atop a hill overlooking Forest Hills Park is this beautiful and tranquil cottage with light streaming in and stunning views. Enjoy the beautiful landscape that is a delight year round. From flowering pink trees to a myriad of flowers in the spring to lovely fragrant gardenias to garden beds for homegrown veggies. This place is made for play and relaxation and recharging. Nature is all around with 45 acres of green space in Forest Hills Park to roam and creeks to traverse yet walkable to downtown where you can watch a show, catch a game, and grab a bit to eat. Enjoy the freedom of hopping on the American Tobacco Trail to go on a fun bike ride or run.
After playing outside all day, come in for a home cooked meal in the renovated kitchen with stylish open shelves and stainless steel appliances. Modern conveniences alongside architectural character and charm make this home so special. Go out or stay in, 800 E Forest Hills is a wonderful home in the absolute best location.
