About This Home

If you've been waiting for a home where the big-ticket items are already handled... this is the one that makes you exhale a little.Welcome to 2229 Forest Ave — where thoughtful updates meet everyday livability. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the fresh flooring underfoot and clean, modern finishes throughout. The bathroom has been completely updated, giving you that "nothing left to do" feeling we all love. Behind the scenes, the important upgrades are already working for you - including a high-efficiency furnace and new hot water heater - so you can focus on living, not replacing. Outside, the improvements continue with new siding, a refreshed back porch, and newly redone front porch stairs that add both function and curb appeal. Even the stairway to the basement has been rebuilt - because the details matter here. This kind of home that doesn't just look good in photos... it lives well in real life. Clean, Updated, and ready for your next chapter. From the new flooring to the big-ticket upgrades (Furnace, siding, hot water heater + more), this is a home that lets you skip the projects and start living. Brand New Gutters just installed.
