Welcome to 805 Forston, a timeless brick colonial brimming with charm and character. From the inviting front porch to the vintage carved wooden front door, this home makes a warm and memorable first impression. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, stylish updated light fixtures, and a cozy living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The main level also features a powder room and a light-filled addition, currently used as a reading room-but also perfect for a home office or creative space. Upstairs offers three bedrooms while the partially finished basement provides flexible living space plus an unfinished area for storage and laundry, and a bonus room used as a home office. The backyard is fully fenced with a storage shed, a gray flagstone living patio and raised beds for your favorite herbs and vegetables. Ideally located in sought-after Takoma Park, this home is just three blocks from the future Purple Line metro and only 1.5 blocks from the scenic Long Branch Trails, which connect to the trails on Sligo Creek Parkway. And you're just 1.6 miles from Takoma Park's beloved restaurants, shops and farmers' market. New roof March of 2025. Open House Saturday 2/28 from 1-3pm.
