    What's special

    Architectural characterModern updatesRich wood detailingBrick courtyard patioConvenient main-floor livingVaulted ceilingsCanopy of mature trees
    One of a kind, tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees in the heart of Cedar Falls, this unique property blends architectural character, warmth, and modern updates in a setting that feels more like a private retreat than an in-town residence. Vaulted ceilings, rich wood detailing, exposed beams, and a bird's eye view loft overlooking the main living space create a striking interior filled with personality and natural light. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features butcher block countertops, painted cabinetry, open shelving, and functional workspace with views into the home’s peaceful outdoor spaces. Designed with comfort and flexibility in mind, the home also offers convenient main-floor living. A brick fireplace anchors the living area, while expansive windows throughout the home bring the outdoors in. The flexible loft provides ideal space for a reading nook, home office, studio, or additional lounge area and the sun room serves as the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Outside, enjoy a brick courtyard patio, covered carport with screened detail, storage shed, and beautifully established trees that create privacy and atmosphere rarely found within city limits. With its distinctive design, inviting spaces, and unforgettable setting, 516 Forrest Rd offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique Cedar Falls property.
