Welcome to 1186 Old Still Way in the highly desirable Preserve at Smith Creek, where spacious living, privacy, and a great floor plan come together in a home designed to be enjoyed both inside and out. With 4 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, a main-level primary suite, and a private fenced backyard backing to a wooded area, this home offers the space you want with a setting that's increasingly hard to find.
Step inside to find hardwood floors throughout the first floor and an open, airy design highlighted by tall vaulted ceilings in the family room and kitchen. The soaring ceilings and abundant natural light give the heart of the home an impressive sense of space while keeping the kitchen and living areas connected—equally well suited for entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet night at home.
The main-level primary suite is positioned to take full advantage of the peaceful backyard and wooded views beyond. The spacious bedroom is complemented by a large walk-in closet and a well-appointed primary bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. It's a comfortable retreat with the added bonus of never having to negotiate the stairs at the end of a long day.
Outdoor living is one of this home's standout features. A large screened porch with a vaulted ceiling provides a wonderful place for morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply enjoying the outdoors without sharing your space with every mosquito in Wake County. Just beyond, the large elevated deck overlooks the fenced backyard and wooded area, creating an ideal setting for grilling, entertaining, or unwinding at the end of the day. The trees beyond the backyard provide a beautiful natural backdrop and an added sense of privacy.
And if you're wondering where everything goes, this house has an answer. Walk-in attic space, crawl-space storage, a tall two-car garage, plus additional space beneath the deck and screened porch provide plenty of room for tools, outdoor gear, holiday decorations, hobbies, and all those things you absolutely plan to use again someday.
The Preserve at Smith Creek adds even more to enjoy without leaving the neighborhood. Community amenities include a swimming pool, playground, and sports field, while the neighborhood streets provide a great setting for morning walks, evening strolls, or getting in a run close to home.
With four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, generous storage, impressive vaulted living spaces, a main-floor primary suite, multiple outdoor living areas, and a private wooded backdrop, 1186 Old Still Way delivers a rare combination of space, comfort, and privacy in an established Wake Forest community. Come see why this one feels just as good outside as it does in.

Examining another house that is similar, nearby, and recently sold can help determine if the price of this home for sale is priced appropriately.
This sold listing is located right across the street and provides a perfect benchmark for the neighborhood. While it sold for a lower total price, it was a smaller home and actually cost more per square foot than the home for sale. Additionally, 1186 Old Still Way offers the convenience of a true one-story layout, which typically commands a premium over the two-story design found at this property.
This property on Garner Terrace Way features a bit more heavy stone work on the exterior and luxury interior details like coffered ceilings. However, the home for sale at 1186 Old Still Way is priced significantly lower per square foot while offering a nearly identical amount of living space. You are getting the same footprint and a newer build date for a much more approachable price point.
This home on New Grissom Way offers a lot more square footage and a finished basement for roughly the same price as the home for sale. However, a look at the photos reveals why: the interior features dated honey-oak cabinetry and older granite styles that lack the modern feel of 1186 Old Still Way. You are essentially choosing between more 'raw' space here or a move-in-ready, modern aesthetic at the home for sale.
