FOR SALE BY OWNER — 17238 General Forrest Ave

Located in established Shenandoah Estates, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 2,200 square feet of official living area, plus substantial additional finished spaces that provide exceptional flexibility.

The kitchen was completely gutted and remodeled less than a year ago and features custom cabinetry, upgraded finishes, a high-end range and upgraded dishwasher. The primary bathroom was also completely renovated just a few years ago.

The main level includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, generous living areas and a sunroom/library that works beautifully as a reading room, homeschool space, playroom or additional sitting area.

Upstairs is approximately 800 square feet of additional finished space consisting of a large sitting area, bedroom/bonus room, full bathroom and two closets. This space is not included in the advertised 2,200-square-foot living area and was completed without a building permit. Buyers are encouraged to review the seller's property disclosure and perform their own due diligence regarding the space and its intended use.

Off the carport is an additional fully finished, air-conditioned studio/office, providing an excellent home office, hobby room or other flexible space.

Outside, the home offers a very large backyard with plenty of room for outdoor living, gardening, play or pets. The property also includes a newer Tough Shed situated on a slab, as well as a separate chicken coop that could continue to be used as a coop or repurposed for additional storage.

Additional features include a whole-house generator installed in 2025, whole-house water filtration and central vacuum.

Some flooring in the kitchen and main living areas could be updated, allowing the next owner to personalize those spaces while enjoying the major renovations that have already been completed.
