Welcome to Rose Lawn – Where History and Modern Luxury Converge Step into a legacy of timeless elegance at Rose Lawn, a rare gem blending 19th-century grandeur with the comforts of today. Originally built in 1877 by Garret B. Girton and once hailed by the Newtown Enterprise as “Among the Best Houses in the Place,” this storied estate proudly anchors the edge of charming Forest Grove Village. Meticulously restored, this six-bedroom, 3.5-bath masterpiece spans 3,500 square feet across three beautifully finished levels.
