Custom-built by long time local builder R. Moorefield Construction, this timeless brick home in Forest overlooks the 3rd tee at New London Golf Course. No HOA, just pure pride of ownership. The main level impresses with hardwood floors, a sunlit sunroom with heated floors, and an exceptional open kitchen outfitted with premium appliances and granite counters that opens seamlessly to the main living areas- perfect for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite features a sitting room, heated bath floors, and two walk-in closets with abundant storage. Also upstairs, a bath and three additional bedrooms offering size and ample closet space. The basement is your blank canvas with serious potential: think guest suite, rec room, workshop, or apartment, or not--your choice! Conveniently located near 460, in JFHS and New London Academy school districts, and just minutes to Liberty University. Homes built with this care, in this setting, rarely become available.
