Gorgeous mountain living is guaranteed in the beautiful & spacious Forest Lake community home with all the comfort imaginable, views onto redwood trees and lots of sun. The home is built on a hillside, with the living room & kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom located on the entry level and another two bedrooms, family room, laundry room and another full bathroom located downstairs.

Forest Lake is known for its community lake (including lifeguard) that is open from June through August and its community park that has summer and holiday events like movie nights etc.

You immediately feel very welcomed walking into the house with the warm wood finishes, open floor plan in the kitchen & living room, and vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is fully equipped with a farmhouse kitchen sink, gas stove & range, full fridge & dishwasher. It offers plenty of storage with all its cabinets and the kitchen island. The breakfast nook offers enough room for a small table in front of the built-in bench. There is a lovely sunny deck out the kitchen door.

On the same level is a larger bedroom with a large closet and built-in shelving, a full bathroom with a shower over tub and a smaller bedroom - all with lots of natural lighting and views of the beautiful redwood trees outside.

The downstairs bedrooms are equally sized: a smaller bedroom with a large walk-in closet and a larger bedroom with a regular sized closet. The laundry room is very spacious and will be a great space to get all those chores done while enjoying the view out the window onto the redwood grove. The downstairs bathroom also features a shower over tub and two sinks.

An additional bonus for this home is the separate office located in a separate structure across the way from the kitchen, the perfect space for a home office. This office offers additional storage as well. The area above the office is used by the owners for storage.
