    Welcome to your new home at 285 E Main Street in the quiet town of Forsyth Georgia. Just half a mile from downtown's shops, dining, and schools, this property offers the perfect blend of small town charm and everyday convenience. Set on a spacious 1-acre lot, now expanded to include Lots 6, 7, and the lot behind the home, the grounds are shaded by mature pecan trees and filled with character at every turn. A large wraparound front porch welcomes you in, accented by skylights and perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations. Inside, 12 foot ceilings, massive windows, and original hardwood floors preserve the soul of the home, while modern updates provide peace of mind, including updated electrical and plumbing, all the way down to the sewer line. The kitchen features butcher block countertops, refrigerator, convection oven, dish washer, and don't forget the walk in pantry through the hallway. Updated LVP flooring in the bedrooms adds durability and comfort. The living room flows effortlessly to the back porch, where string lights create a warm, inviting atmosphere for entertaining or slowing down at the end of the day. Out back, you'll find a 23x21 workshop on a concrete slab, a fire pit, and a charming cottage style brick garden edging alongside the home, using reclaimed bricks and gravel, surrounded by a variety of established plants. A metal roof, chain link fencing across the front, and remaining paint stored for future touch ups in case needed. This is more than a house, it's home - a place where history, craftsmanship, and new memories are brought together in one of Forsyth's most peaceful settings. Quiet, timeless, and full of heart, this home is ready for its next chapter. The only thing it's missing is you.
