Welcome to this beautiful brick tri-level in the highly sought-after Forest Hill area! On the corner of Forest Hill Ave and Westower Dr., this home's location is EXCELLENT! Less than a couple miles from the James River Park System, all major highways, restaurants, and grocery stores, this ideal location doesn't come available often. You could even walk 15-20 mins to local favorites like The Veil Brewing Co., Blanchards Coffee, O'Toole's Pub, and Little Nickel! Boasting more than 2,000 square feet, a home this size in this location is rare. Recent upgrades include a brand new, 30-year architectural shingled roof (2025), NEW 2.5 ton AC unit (2025), fresh landscaping (2025), and upgraded electrical (2025). The main level features a large living area to relax and unwind, a fireplace to stay warm, access to an enclosed side porch to drink your morning coffee, and a spacious kitchen to entertain. Step down in to the lower area which features an oversized room that can be used as another living space to gather family OR potentially a fourth bedroom for the kids. Equipped with a full bath and a fireplace, it could even be home for your mother-in-law. Two large utility rooms complete the lower level, giving you plenty of space for laundry, extra storage, or even more finished space with the right vision. With two fireplaces and the incredibly warm boiler, you're sure to stay comfy and cozy in this frigid winter weather. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a hall bathroom. The hallways and bedrooms are adorned with attractive wood flooring that will last a lifetime. A roomy, walk-up attic gives you all the extra storage space you'll need. The exterior features a sizable lot boasting more than a quarter-acre. Envision all the possibilities to entertain and let the dogs run free in the spacious backyard. Don't miss this rare opportunity to find Home.
