Welcome to 70 Forest Street, a true gem located in the highly sought-after Old University neighbourhood. Boasting over 2400 square feet of living space, this home will immediately catch your attention with its attractive curb appeal and large covered porch. An addition at the rear of the home has transformed this from a run-of-the-mill sidesplit to a spacious and bright family home, with a true nature lover's backyard to boot! With the addition, on top of a formal living room and formal dining room, there is a lovely sunroom and a large eat-in kitchen that overlooks the spacious family room. Main floor laundry and a convenient 3-piece bathroom for guests complete the main floor. Upstairs you will find a main 5-piece bathroom, 3 generously sized bedrooms - two with their own walk-in closets - and the primary having its own 4-piece ensuite bathroom. The backyard of this oversized 62' x 135' property features a tiered deck where you can enjoy a morning coffee next to the soothing sounds of the small pond. The lower level is finished with three additional rooms that offer the potential for a spare bedroom, office space, studio or you could open it up to create a large rec room. There is also a large workshop area for the handy person in the home. Just a short walk to parks, schools and the university, this home has almost too much to offer.
