Property Description
Incredible opportunity in rapidly growing Wake Forest! This gorgeous home has been lovingly updated by its current owners and offers great flexibility all in a private setting. The main level features a family room with fireplace, dining room, updated kitchen with butler's pantry, and a flex room currently used as a home office. A coveted first floor primary suite offers an updated bath with custom walk-in shower and a walk-in closet. Other notable updates include water softening system, scraped popcorn ceilings, fresh paint throughout, LVP flooring on main level, and HVAC system on second level. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, a flex room, and full bath plus a 10x10 unfinished storage room. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the expansive deck, covered gazebo, paver patio, and fenced backyard on a spacious .93 acre lot with many mature trees. With a detached garage and a workshop (with heater), you have room to pursue your passions or plenty of space for storage. With no city taxes and no HOA (limited protective covenants), this home offers the freedom more commonly found in a rural setting, but you are only minutes away from Target, Lowes Foods, Harris Teeter, and numerous shops and restaurants. Other popular destinations include Downtown Wake Forest (2.5 miles), Carroll Joyner Park (3 miles), and Falls Lake (11 miles).
