There are places that shape us. For me, Forrest Glenn Road is one of them.
My grandfather attended the old Forrest Glenn School. I grew up on a farm along this very road - exploring the wild woods, wading through cold creeks, and living the kind of adventurous childhood only the country can give. My parents still live on that same farm today. Years ago, when life took me elsewhere, I sold a beautiful parcel of land to the Porter family.
And now, the Porter family has entrusted me to tell the story of their father’s dream home at 7399 Forrest Glenn Road.
Built in 1996, this home was crafted with intention - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an open living, dining, and kitchen concept designed to pull nature into every moment. One wall proudly holds the fireplace with gas logs - not for heat, but for the comfort and calm that only a warm glow can bring.
Later, he added what became the heart of the home: a large sunroom. It served as his office, his morning coffee spot, his reading nook, and his window to the quiet beauty of Forrest Glenn. From here, he watched the seasons turn in real time - misty winter mornings, spring green-up, the symphony of summer leaves, and the fire of autumn. [Come view these trees!]
The lay of the land naturally lent itself to a walkout basement. What began as unfinished space soon became his business headquarters, 306 sq feet of functional, practical, and close to home. The remaining 1,350 sq ft of basement offered what we all need but rarely find: storage, storage, and more storage.
A detached garage came next, built for his HVAC business - sturdy, spacious, and endlessly useful. And if you appreciate good craftsmanship, you’ll notice something right away: the concrete. This property is anchored with it. From the main drive to the sweeping lower parking area, it’s built to last and built to work.
The front porch welcomes you with a long, open view across the front yard. But it’s the rear deck - wrapping around the sunroom - that truly connects you to the land. As I stood there, looking deep into the woods behind the home, I found myself remembering the same hills and hollows I once roamed as a boy. This land has a way of handing you back pieces of who you used to be.
If you’re searching for peace, for nature, for room to breathe and space to dream - this is your moment.
Rediscover your youth. Rekindle your passion for the outdoors. Come experience Forrest Glenn Road for yourself.
