Nestled on a hill in the highly sought-after Forest Hills neighborhood, this picturesque White Rock Lake cottage is situated on an expansive, secluded corner lot. Originally featuring generous window sizes and beautifully maintained hardwood floors, the home was expanded in 1999 by the current owners. This addition introduced a functional kitchen and a sun-drenched breakfast area or sunroom that overlooks the lush backyard. Designed to live larger than its unassuming exterior suggests, the residence includes thoughtful touches like an expansive den with a covered porch, a dedicated laundry room complete with a laundry chute, and a primary walk-in closet that spans the entire length of the room. The current floor plan provides a unique opportunity for renovation; it could be opened to create a grand, seamless space that views both the front and backyards. Upstairs, the rooms provide a peaceful retreat with stunning treetop views and a refreshing breeze when the windows are open. Brimming with charm and character, this property offers the quintessential forest-like surroundings and canopy for which Forest Hills is known. Whether you choose to undertake a custom renovation or build a brand-new dream home on this quiet, private lot, the potential here is truly remarkable.
