At $305,000, this combination rarely comes together in one address. 102 Forsyth Parkway sits in Parkview on a cul-de-sac street where the greenway entrance is right at the end of the block. The backyard is private and will stay that way. Built in 2018, so the roof, HVAC, and major systems are well inside their prime. Fresh paint, new carpet, updated fixtures and faucets throughout. The eat in kitchen opens directly to the family room with granite island, granite countertops and natural light moving through both spaces. The primary and two additional bedrooms are well sized with ample closet space , plus two full and one half baths completes this 1549 square feet home. There is really nothing here needing your attention before you settle in. Then there is Riverwood Athletic Club. Your HOA includes full access — and what that means in practice is 10,000 square feet of fitness space, three outdoor pools, a 67-foot waterslide, a kids' playground, a fenced wading pool for the youngest swimmers, a competition-size 6-lane indoor lap pool, walking trails, playgrounds, fitness classes, and personal trainers. Add the broader Fred Smith golf community network; Riverwood Golf Club, Eagle Ridge, Olde Liberty and this is an amenities package that would justify a move on its own. Lawn maintenance is covered by the HOA as well, which means that particular item never makes it onto the honey do list. Downtown Clayton is minutes away with restaurants, shops, and the everyday conveniences that make a neighborhood actually livable. FAIR WARNING: the hardest part of touring this one is trying not to fall in love with it.
