About this home

Welcome to Forest St, a hidden community tucked away in the desirable Admiral neighborhood. Here you will find a refreshed 1924 Colonial that has been tastefully updated from the studs out. High-end finishes throughout: From the living room featuring gas fireplace, large-format textured tile, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The open kitchen with Bertazzoni appliances and custom cabinets. Bathrooms with heated tile floors and showers with custom showerpans. You will love waking up in the morning to the cool ocean breeze and the sound of the foghorn while you sip coffee on the patio. Don’t miss the views of the Sound from the primary suite.
