Location, comfort, and style come together in this move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape on one of East Forest Park's premier streets. Rich hardwood floors set the tone throughout the home, starting with a front to back living room that flows into a home office behind a farmhouse sliding door. The updated kitchen and adjoining formal dining room make everyday living and entertaining a breeze, while a half bath adds convenience to the main level. Retreat upstairs to three generously sized bedrooms and an updated full bath. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a bar-equipped bonus space, great for movie nights or weekend get-togethers. Step outside to a fenced-in yard and patio — low-maintenance but big enough for gatherings (and happy pups!) — plus a shed and 1-car garage for extra storage. Vinyl siding and replacement windows mean less upkeep and more time enjoying your new home. With groceries, gas, shopping, schools, and restaurants all just moments away, this East Forest Park beauty offers the ultimate in everyday convenience. Come see it for yourself!
