    What's special

    Welcome to 511 Forest Drive, where character and convenience combine to make this a special offering in Waynesboro, Georgia. Situated on desirable Forest Drive, this brick cottage has been lovingly cared for by the current owners who have enjoyed the home's charm and solid construction indicative of its 1960s origins. Hardwood floors run throughout the living room and bedrooms (no carpet!), and the bathrooms have undergone stylish yet fitting updates such as new tile and fixtures that add to the character of the home. The living and dining spaces have been opened up to create a more efficient flow, and a hall bath offers easy access to all three bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an ensuite half bath with beautiful penny-tile floors as well. Other improvements include new flooring in the kitchen and dining room, interior paint, and custom-built pantry cabinets in the dining room that offer excellent storage space. The backdoor leads from the kitchen to a screened porch that provides a wonderful outdoor living space and overlooks a very private and spacious backyard. Avid gardeners will appreciate the beauty and diversity of the varieties to be found here. The owners planted more than a half-dozen fruit trees and bushes in the backyard to yield apples, plums, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, figs and elderberries. Ornamentals were also added, including Buddhist pine, Yulan magnolia, Chinese fringe flower, Japanese camelia, Alpenrose bush and flowering dogwood. Enjoy the mature pecan trees as well! This charming property is truly a cozy place to call home, tucked away on the Forest Drive circle in the heart of Waynesboro...close to retail, restaurants, pharmacy, medical care and more.
