What if you could enjoy nearly four acres of quiet privacy, classic southern brick style, and space for everyone, all while staying remarkably close to town? Welcome to 222 Newton Drive in Forsyth, tucked away at the very end of a cul-de-sac on 3.82 beautiful acres. You are within easy walking distance of the Mary Persons High School campus and just minutes from downtown Forsyth, yet the secluded neighborhood and generous lot sizes give the entire setting a peaceful, rural feel. MAIN HOUSE: The main home delivers that warm Southern Living feel across 4,598 square feet. It features four bedrooms and three and a half baths, with formal living and dining rooms when you want to host, and a comfortable den with a stacked stone fireplace for relaxed everyday living. The eat-in kitchen serves as a central gathering place, while the main-floor primary suite offers its own stacked stone fireplace as a cozy retreat. Upstairs, the massive 22 by 33 foot bonus room gives you endless options for a game room, home theater, or gym. Off the back, you can sip your morning coffee on the screened porch or entertain on the adjoining deck overlooking the trees. GUEST HOUSE: Connected by a shared three-car garage, the secondary suite is so much more than a typical guest space. Spanning 1,814 square feet, it acts as its own separate home complete with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dedicated laundry room, a private screened porch, and a separate exterior entrance. Whether you need true multi-generational living or simply want a private, spacious retreat with unbeatable local convenience, this all-brick gem brings together location, comfort, and southern charm.
