Forget ordinary. 137 Hardin Road delivers the lifestyle. This fully remodeled brick ranch is the kind of home buyers dream about but rarely find — especially at this price point and this close to Downtown Forest City. Every inch has been thoughtfully updated for comfort, functionality, and style. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, a bonus flex room, an open-concept living area, and a beautifully upgraded bathroom with a double vanity. The kitchen pops with stainless steel appliances and a clean, modern design. And the outside? That’s where it gets even better. You’ll love the private in-ground pool, the flat fenced corner lot, and the detached 3-car garage/workshop — complete with electricity and a mini-split system. Perfect for hobbies, storage, or turning it into your dream workspace. No HOA. Public utilities. Easy to show. Move-in ready. Don’t wait — this one is priced to move and won’t last long.

This is a very nice home with a lot to offer. The house has been remodeled inside and has a lot of appeal. The pictures tell the story. In addition, there is a screen porch across one end of the house and a 92 square foot storage room and a deck into a fenced back yard. It is such a great yard for children with the fenced in area and the INGROUND SWIMMING POOL. There is a concrete skirt around the pool and a very large covered area for entertaining. Situated near the back of the lot is a large shop building that's has several bays for hobbies or a serious garage. It has a walking door and three roll up doors. This is one of the nicest properties you will find! See attachments for list of recent improvements.
