Built in 1928, this lovingly maintained home has the unassuming curb appeal of a delightful cottage, but the addition of a spacious owner's suite on the main level, and a bright, walk-out bonus room on the lower level let it live large. Main floor office boasts double french doors that open onto a sunny deck overlooking the expansive backyard. Third bedroom on lower level features a full bath. Retreat to the sunny room over the detached garage, perfect for a second office or exercise/hobby space. When it's cold, cozy up to one of three fireplaces. When it's warm, listen to the birds from one of two decks in back or the sunny patio in front. Gorgeous natural wood-framed windows all replaced in 2015. So many little details provide immense character and charm. Ideal Forest Hills location just minutes away from all of your Rockwood and downtown favorites.
