Set on a private, wooded 1.43-acre lot in the heart of Ottawa Hills' Estate Section, this exceptional one-owner home brings together the talents of architect Mike Ducat, builder Bob Mehring and landscape designer John Squire. Built in 1987 and remarkably ahead of its time, the home has been meticulously cared for and combines enduring quality, abundant natural light and an incredible floor plan perfectly suited to the way families live today. The light-filled first floor was designed for comfortable family living and effortless entertaining, with floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights throughout. Hardwood floors and wool carpeting add warmth and quality throughout the home. The impressive foyer features 10-foot ceilings and nine skylights, while the cozy family room offers built-in bookcases and a marble fireplace. The kitchen offers abundant counter and cabinet space, a generous eat-in area with direct patio access, double ovens, a Dacor gas cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. A true highlight is the luxurious first-floor primary suite—a private retreat featuring dual closets in the bedroom and an adjoining den with a pocket door, ideal as a private sitting room or home office. The beautifully appointed primary bath features a double vanity, skylights, tiled shower with glass door and private water closet. Thoughtful functionality continues with a first-floor laundry room, drop zone and half bath conveniently located at the side entrance, just off the garage. Extensive storage is found throughout the home, with generously sized closets thoughtfully situated for convenient, easy access, plus additional storage in the three-car garage. The lower level offers even more versatility with a spacious recreation and lounge area ideal for kids and teens, a dedicated workout room and ample storage. Outside, a circular drive creates a gracious approach to the home, while the stone patio entrance, Trex decking, mature landscaping and wooded surroundings enhance the privacy and beauty of the setting. Separate air-conditioning systems serve the first and second floors. Light, bright and exceptionally well built, 4560 Forestview offers a rare combination of quality, thoughtful design and effortless flow - perfectly suited to the way families live today.
