Welcome to 819 Forest Hills Drive, a stately southern home with a circular driveway, lined with trees dripping with spanish moss. With over 5,200 square feet and 2.23 acres, this home, which was custom built in 1950, is perfectly preserved on the outside, with a complete modern renovation inside including an updated floor plan that fits the needs of today's buyers. Inside you are greeted by a grand circular staircase, which opens to a spacious living room with the original dental molding and a large fireplace. The dining room has floor to ceiling windows and doors that open onto the private and professionally landscaped back lawn with a gorgeous pool. The kitchen is a dream; from the design to the high-end appliances and the mega pantry, which is connected to the laundry room. Off the kitchen is a powder room, cozy den and a second room, which is currently used as a home office. Downstairs, on the first level is a flex room/media room, ample storage space and a two bay garage that fits three cars. A whole house generator is a bonus feature. Upstairs is 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. This includes the owner's suite, along with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The owner's suite includes a bathroom with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, two closets (one that is 22 feet long), as well as a large, private bedroom with built-ins. This large lot in the heart of Wilmington is exceptional, with the centerpiece being the 20x30 heated pool with fountains and travertine tile surround. There is even a full bathroom, accessible from the yard that was designed for pool days and guests. In addition, there is a large deck, patio fire pit, large gardening area and lush landscaping. This one of a kind, turnkey property is located in the Forest Hills neighborhood in midtown Wilmington, within minutes to historic downtown and Wrightsville Beach.
