This property features a highly desirable open-concept layout and a full two-car garage, which are major value-adds compared to the more traditional layout of 602 Williamsboro Street. You’ll notice the kitchen here flows directly into the living spaces with a large granite island, whereas the home for sale retains more of its original 1940s room divisions and lacks a garage. The mature landscaping and large backyard patio also contribute to the higher price point seen on Hillcrest Drive.

Comparing 602 Williamsboro Street to this home is a classic ‘character vs. new’ trade-off. This sold listing is a brand-new 2025 custom build with modern energy efficiencies, a gourmet kitchen island, and a spa-like primary suite that you simply won’t find in older homes. While the home for sale has been wonderfully updated with a new HVAC and water heater, it still carries the architectural style and maintenance profile of a 1940s build. The large price gap is expected when comparing a historic-era home to a brand-new luxury ranch.

This home on Forest Road represents a top-tier renovation where every surface was touched, including high-end Bosch appliances and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with light. While 602 Williamsboro Street offers more square footage and its own charming updates like the new HVAC and kitchen work, it doesn’t quite reach the luxury finish level or the ‘true ranch’ one-level living seen here. The price difference reflects that premium for a ‘like-new’ feel and the highly desirable mid-century modern aesthetic.
