About this home

Cute and clean move-in ready 2 or 3 bdrm/2 bath 1 1/2 story home with a finished basement with 1 car detached garage on a large corner lot in Forrest. The main level offers gorgeous oak kitchen cabinets with a peninsula seating area and a designated dining area, oak french doors leading into the living room/entry area, a full bathroom off the hallway with a walk-in tub/shower for seniors and lots of built-in storage as well as two built-in storage units in the hallway. The entire upper level could be a large master bedroom with another bedroom on the main level. The other room on the main level is currently being used as an office/den with built-in oak bookcases and sliding doors leading to the back patio, but it could be used as a 3rd bedroom. The finished basement has a huge family room, a walk-in storage closet, an oversized 3/4 bath with washer/dryer hookups and a separate unfinished utility/storage room. You'll love the 66 x 132 large corner lot with alley access for a future outbuilding. This house is a gem!!! Don't wait to schedule a showing or it will be gone!!
