2908 Forest Drive

This stunning historic Owl's Head home is tucked away in a park-like setting surrounded by trees but is just minutes from downtown and a quick walk to the Ingersoll-Grand avenues. The 5-bedroom, 4-bath home feels like a private oasis with 2 large three-season porches where you can look out on 1.4 acres and watch birds and wild turkeys. The custom kitchen features a large island (plus eat-in dining), upscale stainless steel appliances, a spacious pantry as well as a separate ice maker and coffee/wet bar with sink with reverse osmosis. A charming butler's pantry contains the laundry, tons of storage and another refrigerator. The living room centers on a gorgeous mantle and features painted trim, gas fireplace, built-ins, and lots of light. All five bedrooms are on the second floor and the ensuite primary bedroom walks out to a porch. One of the bedrooms makes a perfect office. The huge third floor (with heat/air) would make a wonderful play room, workspace or teen hangout. Modern touches include a drop zone by the back door, Ring doorbell, Nest thermostat, and radon mitigation. Other features: stamped concrete driveway, newer roof and HVACs, flagstone patio, plantation shutters, half-bath on main floor. House was designed by architect H.D. Rawson of Proudfoot & Bird as his private home.
