About this home

OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. Once upon a time, in 1970, on a sleepy, tree lined road in Manchester, a four bedroom, two bath garrison colonial was built. With it's 2 car garage, large fireplaced living and family rooms, hardwood floors and very private setting, the house soon became a home, keeping memories of birthdays, holidays and first days of school in the MERS system. The home was very happy and well cared for as it watched the well lived lives of the people that called it “home”. Today, the house is ready to become someone else’s home. If you and yours are ready, 28 Forster Road could be the one.
