Just beyond, the dining room continues the light and airy atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for shared meals or entertaining. The flow between these rooms is seamless, leading you into the kitchen, which offers double ovens, generous counter space, and a direct path back to the den. To the left of the main hallway, you'll find the home's three bedrooms, each tucked away in a quiet wing for added privacy. The laundry room is located just outside the main living space, accessed through the garage. This separate utility area also includes a door to the backyard, offering convenient access for outdoor projects or daily routines. Step into the backyard and you'll discover a space brimming with opportunity and charm. The yard is impressively spacious, offering ample room for outdoor entertaining, future additions, or simply enjoying open green space. In addition to a lemon tree, banana tree, blackberry vine, and two blueberry bushes, the yard also features a unique pergola-style structure positioned above a set of framed planting beds. Multiple live oak trees provide natural shade, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere and sense of privacy. The home offers a solid foundation with endless potential. The roof was replaced in 2021, offering peace of mind and added value. A bit of TLC and thoughtful improvements would easily elevate both its charm and value. Conveniently located near Pineville Road, one of Long Beach's main thoroughfares, just minutes from the Seabee base, and only 2.5 miles to the Mississippi Gulf Coast beach, 617 Forest Avenue is a wonderful opportunity in one of the city's most established neighborhoods.
