About This Home
Tucked on one of the premier lots in Forest Hills, 1603 Hermitage offers an extraordinary blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Built in ~1930 this 2-story Colonial Revival is rich with original character - fanlight entry, weatherboard siding, and a graceful pedimented porch. Set on a rare combined double lot, the home unfolds with mature, thoughtfully designed landscaping that blooms year-round (berries, apples, plums, and peaches!), a treehouse sanctuary and large garden area. Outdoor living takes center stage with a concrete pool and hot tub, upper and lower stone patios, extensive landscape lighting, and detached 2-car garage.Inside, the home is equally impressive (and colorful!) with updated kitchen and baths woven seamlessly into a layout full of charm and surprises. Hidden gems such as a laundry chute on both floors, a secret closet passageway, and an attic meditation room add a sense of whimsy, while smart upgrades such as heated floors in the primary bath, an endless hot water system, updated electrical, and restored windows make daily living effortless. The layout is as flexible as it is functional: the sunroom serves as a dining / game room (we've hosted 25 there!), the downstairs office also functions beautifully as a guest room with convenient access to the nearby full bath, and the third-floor gym easily converts to a playroom. It's a home that grows with you - and one of the best around for hosting gatherings, both inside and out.
