About This Home
Opportunity knocks! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,488 square feet of living space in a well-established neighborhood on the north side of Forsyth. The split-bedroom floor plan features three bedrooms on the main level with a private fourth bedroom upstairs-ideal for a home office, guest suite, or bonus room. Many of the expensive updates have already been completed, including a new metal roof (2023), new vinyl siding (2022), and new energy-efficient windows downstairs (2019). Inside, you'll find a combination of LVP, hardwood, and vinyl flooring. While the interior could benefit from a little TLC, fresh paint, and some flooring updates, the potential is undeniable. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer looking to build equity, an investor seeking your next rental property, or a flipper searching for a project with the major improvements already behind you, this home is worth a look. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and I-75, you'll enjoy easy access to everything Forsyth has to offer. Looking for a unicorn?
