DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF FORSYTH HISTORY! Nestled on 4.7 private, wooded acres in the heart of downtown Forsyth, this remarkable estate offers the rare combination of historic charm, modern conveniences, and exceptional outdoor living. Originally designed by renowned architect Alexander Blair and recognized as the first home in Forsyth to have electricity, this one-of-a-kind property is rich in character and timeless appeal. A standout feature of the property is the 960-square-foot guest house/pool house, perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or entertaining. This versatile space includes a spacious great room, kitchen, dining area, bedroom, full bath, attached two-car garage, and abundant attic storage. The main residence offers over 4,000 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. A welcoming wraparound front porch overlooks the beautifully wooded grounds and sets the stage for the home's impressive interior. Inside, you'll find a grand two-story foyer, stunning wood staircase, tongue-and-groove ceilings, formal dining room, spacious living room, and an additional den overlooking the backyard retreat. The updated kitchen features ample cabinetry, modern conveniences, and a walk-in pantry. The main-level owner's suite is a true retreat, complete with a custom dressing room & sitting area. Upstairs, four additional oversized bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide plenty of space for family and guests. Step outside to enjoy your own private oasis featuring an inground swimming pool, fire pit area, tree house, and mature landscaping. Despite being located in downtown Forsyth, the property's wooded setting and setback from the road create a peaceful, secluded atmosphere. Additional updates include a roof replacement in 2006 and updated windows in 2009. This extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying space, privacy, and modern-day functionality in one of Forsyth's most desirable locations.
