    Some homes simply have a presence-and 285 E Main Street is one of them. Set on a spacious corner lot beneath mature shade trees, this beautiful 1920 bungalow offers the kind of warmth, character, and unmistakable Southern charm that cannot be recreated. From the expansive covered front porch to the soaring ceilings and generously sized rooms inside, every part of this home invites you to slow down, settle in, and stay awhile. Offering approximately 1,691 square feet, the home features three oversized bedrooms, a spacious family room, a formal dining area, and an abundance of natural light.

There is plenty of room here for quiet mornings on the porch, holiday dinners around the table, relaxed evenings at home, and gatherings that spill from one spacious room into the next. Outside, the large corner lot offers breathing room rarely found this close to town. Located just minutes from downtown Forsyth, you can enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shops, schools, and community events while coming home to a peaceful setting filled with shade, charm, and history.
