OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 2-4! Some homes are just houses. This one has a story. Tucked in a walkable neighborhood in the heart of Fort Oglethorpe, 602 Forrest Rd is a rare find; a well maintained move-in ready 1950s cottage that wears its history with pride. The original doors still swing on their hinges, a quiet nod to the craftsmanship of a time when things were built to last. Step inside and you'll find fresh paint, new windows along the front of the house, and soft carpeted floors underfoot -- a home that's been thoughtfully cared for without losing its charm. The kitchen has been updated with newer cabinets and appliances, and the refrigerator, washer, and dryer all stay. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, and the home even comes partially furnished, with living room pieces, a dining table, outdoor rocking chairs, and more ready to welcome you. Step out back and breathe. A large, level yard stretches out before you, the perfect place for gardens, games, or golden hour evenings on the covered deck. A separate storage shed handles everything else. And with a roof less than five years old and an HVAC system under three years old, the big-ticket items are already taken care of. The location is nothing short of remarkable. Step outside and the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is a short stroll away, literally on the same street, offering miles of scenic grounds and a living piece of American history as your everyday backdrop. Gilbert-Stephenson Park is an easy walk in the other direction. Groceries, restaurants, and shopping on Battlefield Parkway are just a minute or two away. The home is zoned for award-winning Catoosa County schools. Charming, affordable, and ready for its next chapter -- 602 Forrest Rd isn't just a place to live. It's a place to love.
