F is for Forest Oaks

The above home on Belvoir Drive in Forest Oaks is an inviting beauty with meticulous landscaping. The private residence is located across from the Forest Oaks Country Club 7 miles southeast of downtown Greensboro.   With its white columns, large front porch, and second-floor faux balcony, the house exudes southern charm. There are many attractive houses near the golf course, however, this one is exceptionally inviting.

Today is ABC Wednesday and, this round we're featuring A-Z neighborhoods in the Greensboro area. F is for Forest Oaks. In the 2,000 census, Forest Oaks had a population of a little over 3,000 people and 1,200 households. However, with the current construction in the area, Forest Oaks seems is growing. From 1977-2007, Forest Oaks hosted the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship. This house and its residents have probably seen a lot of exciting golf over the years. Heck, they've probably even hosted some sweet tea and lemonade breaks on that inviting lawn.

As we've moved more and more to air-conditioning, we have lost the front porch--so conducive to neighborliness. This one just cries out "Come sit a while."

Certainly a classic residence. Lovely to look at and such a FINE house in which to live! Kate, ABC Team

She's a real beauty, alright! I imagine a grand front entrance with a two-story open staircase, illuminated by that lovely window in the gable. I'd love to see the inside, but I'm perfectly content to confine my visit to that wonderful front porch! I do believe I see the chains to a porch swing over on the right, so if anyone needs me I'll just be over there enjoying a little R&R with a glass of fresh lemonade... :-)

What are those two plants in front with the ginormous leaves, do you know?

The purists will have you know it was known as the GGO back then!

I'd love to spend the day on that front porch! Gorgeous indeed!

A Fine home, indeed....I would love it if it came with maids!

[VioletSky]

I love front porches and would enjoy sitting on this one and watching the golfers over the road.

Thanks "not a purist." We captured that sentence from Forest Oaks' website!

What a lovely home. A welcoming porch, willows beckoning from the yard. Yes, just lovely.
