Welcome home to 1516 Forest Avenue, a thoughtfully renovated gem in vibrant Lockeland Springs. What sets this historic 5 bedroom 4.5 bath home apart is being situated on 1 1/2 lots, providing the convenience of a driveway and plenty of backyard space. In the main house you’ll find 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with the primary suite on the first floor. The kitchen and great room are an entertainer’s dream with a Betrazonni gas range, spacious island, pantry, coffered ceilings and doors leading out to the covered patio. An arched-ceiling hallway through the middle of the home leads to a dining room/office with picture frame molding and French doors, a bar area with wine refrigerator and an additional living/dining area with fireplace. Upstairs you'll find charming reading nooks that showcase the home’s historic footprint along with 3 additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a flex room for an office, hobby or play room. A basement offers storm shelter as well as ample storage. The DADU has a separate entrance leading to a studio apartment with kitchenette, full bath and laundry hookups over a 2 car garage. Priority zoned for Lockeland Elementary. Note that the "3rd Floor SF" is the DADU SF.
