Listing broker remarks

Some homes are renovated. This one has been reimagined. Extensively updated in 2018, 165 Forest Street offers over 2,000 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space across two thoughtfully designed levels. This light-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath South Hamilton home stands out with hardwood and LVP flooring, custom cabinetry and woodwork, raised-panel detailing, wainscoting, crown molding, and two custom fireplaces. The open main living space flows into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring white and gray granite, a marble-shard backsplash, custom cabinetry, Samsung appliances, and direct access to the deck. Two generous bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level.Downstairs, the finished walk-out lower level feels like a true extension of the home, offering a spacious third bedroom, full bath with oversized walk-in shower, family room with second fireplace, dedicated office, laundry, and mudroom with backyard access. Mini-splits, a Viessmann boiler with SuperStor, energy-efficient insulation, whole-house Generac generator, attached garage, composite deck, patio, Reeds Ferry shed, landscaped yard, and ample parking add serious substance behind the style. Just a short walk to Chebacco Lake and its kayak/canoe launch, with convenient access to trails, commuter rail, restaurants, shopping, and the community pool. Distinctive, extensively updated, and effortlessly livable, 165 Forest Street is the rare home where style meets substance—and every detail has already been taken care of. All that’s left is to move in.— Steve Bremis Realty Group
