A home of historical significance, the Forester House was built in 1913 by William H. Tilghman from Richmond for his family. The elevated building site affords an amazing view of the mountains and catches the breezes and sunsets. Mr. Tilghman was president of the Tilghman Lumber Co & built the original house out of Cypress & bead board is used extensively on the interior walls &ceilings. The current owners have treasured this home and have done many tasteful improvements while keeping the original integrity of the home. (Central air was added for comfort) The views through the wavy glass windows add an element of elegance rarely seen today. The stone chimney is a focal point when looking up from the road. The veranda is the perfect place for outdoor entertaining & a stroll in the gardens is a must. (see list of plants and trees in the document section). This 5 bedroom home is a show stopper. The 2nd floor sunroom/ sleeping porch with it's interesting windows is so charming. The first floor family room with arched windows could be used as 1st floor BR, there is a full bath on the first level as well. The laundry/ pantry is well laid out w/ storage& good light. The detached 1 car garage has a 2 rm cottage for home office.
