This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home is in the desirable Forestlane subdivision. Enjoy the convenience of in-town living with shopping, dining, and other amenities nearby—all without the city tax bill. This well-maintained home boasts a welcoming covered porch and classic brick, aluminum/vinyl siding for a timeless look. You'll find forced air heating and a tidy, full basement that could be finished to create a media room, game room, laundry room, or workout space. The home also offers ample room for a future bedroom and primary bathroom suite. Step outside into a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard—perfect for entertaining under the shade of mature trees. There is plenty of space to add a garden or firepit to create your outdoor retreat. The attached two-car garage not only provides convenient parking but also extra storage. Located just two miles from public beaches on the bay, this property offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful neighborhood with sidewalks, municipal water and sewer, and natural gas, all while being close to nature and recreation.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
