Welcome to 493 Windy Hill Road! This charming all-brick rancher sits on a gently elevated lot in the Forest Lakes community and offers ample driveway parking along with an attached two-car garage. Step inside to a comfortable living room that flows into the dining room and kitchen, where sliding doors provide easy access to the fully fenced backyard. The main level also features two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The finished lower level offers plenty of flexibility, with a large open finished space ready to be transformed into an additional living room, workout area, game room, home office, playroom, or whatever best fits your needs.
