About this home

Welcome to 4848 Forrest Trail! This custom-built, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom traditional home, constructed in 1990, offers the remarkable advantage of never needing to mow your lawn. The property is embraced by lush mature trees, perennial plants, and vibrant flowers that eliminate the chore of lawn care. Nestled on a secluded cul-de-sac, this home is just a short stroll away from Lake Decatur. Inside, you'll find a cozy wood fireplace in the living room, an elegant versatile space, a main-floor master bedroom with a master bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, and a galley kitchen with a convenient breakfast nook. The main floor also boasts a laundry room for added convenience. Step onto the deck to enjoy views of abundant wildlife and the picturesque changing of seasons. A protective fence has been installed to prevent deer encroaching on the property. The upper floor houses two generously sized bedrooms with vertical windows (dormers) that illuminate each one, a back bedroom, and a full bathroom. Additionally, the basement offers extra space for a family room and a workshop/storage room. Don't miss the opportunity to own this tranquil, nature-inspired retreat in the heart of Decatur.
