About this home

Room to spread out in Forest Lakes

A Cape Cod on a quiet cul-de-sac street, with mature trees and the kind of space between homes you rarely find anymore.

Mornings start with coffee on the large deck, and evenings end with a stroll to the tennis club or fitness center. This home offers over 3,500 finished square feet on three levels, a freshly painted interior, and a coveted first-floor primary bedroom with a newly updated bath featuring a new vanity with granite, new fixtures and new lighting.

The kitchen shines with white cabinets, granite counters, a tile backsplash, stainless appliances and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs, three bedrooms include one with an adjoining bath, plus a bonus room reached through a bedroom, ready to be a playroom, hangout or hobby space. The finished lower level adds a spacious family room with a second fireplace, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and a slider to a spacious patio.

The big-ticket work is done: Hardie plank siding, all-new plumbing including the water line to the street, brand-new windows being installed this month, radon mitigation, and a freshly sealed driveway to the rear garage. All on a quarter-acre lot, walkable on paved trails to Lakeside Middle School, shopping and restaurants, two pools, tennis, pickleball and much more.
