Prepare to be enchanted by this true-through Colonial in Forest Heights where the very first thing you won’t notice are overhead power lines because there are none! Sited upon a gentle rise on an extra wide street with open vistas this home is graced by an abundance of natural light and designed with thoughtful clarity that will delight and surprise you. From the splendid sight lines to its rooms that flow like music you will be enchanted by spaces that just keep on going. Every turn reveals a new treat. Perfectly proportioned & completely accommodating, 171 Forest will comfortably house all of your hopes, your treasures, your books, your meals, family, friends and dreams. The large living room with built-ins is warmed by sunlight through multiple exposures (a recurring theme in this home!), a wood-burning fireplace & the glow of hardwood floors. A door leads to the aptly named sunporch with walls of windows, a flagstone floor and door out to a large verdant yard and a curvilinear stone patio for al-fresco fun! An inviting formal dining room will make gatherings a joy and the eat-in kitchen with a sunny bay window (think indoor herb garden) makes life convenient. But wait…there’s more! A nearly secret den/library/office with a floor to ceiling picture window makes life flexible. A main-level en-suite bedroom can be entered by a separate entrance and provides private space for an au-pair, a guest, or anyone who needs a quiet lair. The mudroom and main level powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs to a window-lit landing and into the primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and multiple closets (one of which is a walk in). Two additional bedrooms (that is three on this level and a 4th on the main) with multiple exposures, hall linen storage & another full bath completes the upstairs picture. The lower level holds another enchanting surprise with finished recreation space, a craft workshop, a huge laundry room, storage spaces and yes, a powder room. Central air, a 2-car garage, and a quiet location yet near so many local amenities makes this home on Forest truly enchanting!
