Did anyone else watch that fever dream of a 90s movie The Secret Garden, and wish they had a garden like that?
I mean how could you not? That garden was exquisite with an abundance of flowers, a pond with lily pads, tall walls with climbing rose bushes, and complete privacy from prying eyes.
So when we saw the garden at 13 Old Forest Hill Rd. we couldn’t help but fall in love.
The backyard looking towards the house.
This Tudor-style home, covered in thick vines, has the most magical backyard.
The dense canopy of trees makes the space feel very private.
With manicured boxwood hedges that create an almost maze-like backyard.
You could have your very own “secret garden”.
Complimented with European-style pedestal planters, and a magnificent weeping willow, it’s giving old-money English estate.
An upstairs landing.
The interior of the home also continues that vibe.
The dining area.
Boasting over 6,500 square feet of living space, six bedrooms and five bathrooms, this Forest Hill home is timeless.
A sitting area.
With rich hardwood flooring, leaded glass windows, crown moulding, and elegant bow windows with built-in seating, it’s got it all.
The formal living room with a fireplace.
The main floor has grand principal rooms that are cozy and inviting and perfect for throwing a lavish dinner party.
The kitchen.
The kitchen, while a bit dated with a 2000s-era Tuscan style, is spacious with lots of storage and an area to have breakfasts and family dinners.
The family room.
The family room is sunny, thanks to the large windows.
A bedroom.
Upstairs is where you will find the main bedrooms of 13 Old Forest Hill Rd.
Another bedroom.
They’re bright and quite spacious for an older home.
A bathroom.
Some of the bathrooms are a bit on the dated side, but still fine.
Another bedroom.
However, there’s also a private third level, which is accessed via a separate staircase and would be an ideal guest or a “teen suite,” according to the listing.
A home office / library.
Or, if you work from home, it could be a great place to create a home office.
The basement kitchen.
The lower level has a recreation room, an extra kitchen and a party room.
The back of the house.
13 Old Forest Hill Rd. is listed for $6,500,000, which is more than $1 million less than its original listing price of $7,680,000.
