Adorable vintage cottage in Lakewood/Forest Hills neighborhood for sale by owner. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath home was lovingly built room by room, dating to the 1920s. The original bead board bedroom walls have been restored, as have the hardwood floors and ceilings. The large living room and open floor plan give this 1050 square foot home a spacious feel, and has been host to many large family holiday gatherings. Oversized lot, beautifully landscaped with fig and persimmon trees, herb gardens, and flowering shrubs surround the slate walkway. Large front porch offers a secluded spot to view gardens. Huge, fenced backyard (.33 acre) is perfect for pets. Quiet street, great neighbors, walking distance to Forest Hills Park, 3 minutes to Duke.
