Storybook-style property offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and a finished basement on Forest Hill's most picturesque street. Winding steps through manicured landscaping unveil the all-stone façade. Inside, an entryway with a coat closet introduces a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace to the right and open-concept kitchen + dining to the left. Vintage touches including original hardwoods and iron balustrades juxtapose with stainless appliances and a modernized layout in the updated kitchen. Floor two hosts three comfortable bedrooms and a full hall bath. In the standout primary suite, dual closets and access to a full-height attic and finished bonus room offer surprising flexibility. Amenities continue with a finished den and tidy full bath in the lower level, plus a two-tier “secret garden” backyard and covered side porch outdoors. Just 0.2 miles to Ardmore Boulevard businesses and one mile to Route 376.
