About this home

Nestled on a picturesque 1-acre homesite with beautiful water views overlooking the private pond, this beautifully maintained property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and peaceful surroundings. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of its natural setting, the property lives much larger than its acreage, creating a true retreat just outside the city.

Inside, the home features a versatile floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious upstairs bonus room is currently used as a fourth bedroom, offering flexibility as a guest retreat, home office, or media room. The primary suite and two additional bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, along with an expansive recreation or flex room anchored by the home's second fireplace, making it an inviting space for gatherings, hobbies, or quiet evenings at home. Quartz countertops add a timeless touch to the kitchen.

Step outside and you'll quickly discover what makes this property so special. The oversized deck, built in 2021 and freshly stained in 2026, overlooks the neighborhood's stocked pond, creating an incredible backdrop for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or casting a line just steps from your backyard. An outbuilding provides excellent storage or workshop space, adding even more functionality.

A new roof installed in 2025 offers added peace of mind, while Franklin County taxes and the absence of an HOA provide the freedom and value today's buyers appreciate. Minutes to Rolesville and Wake Forest. Homes that offer this combination of privacy, scenic water views, and everyday livability are becoming increasingly rare. At 40 Perry Lane, it's not just the home that stands out; it's the feeling of slowing down the moment you arrive.

20 Diamond Creek Drive

Sold Dec 29, 2025
Sold for $60k less592 sq ft smaller$18 higher per sq ftBrand new construction

This sold listing at 20 Diamond Creek Drive offers a look at what a brand-new construction home in the area commands. While it sold for a higher price per square foot, it is significantly smaller and sits on a smaller lot than 40 Perry Lane. The home for sale provides much more elbow room and that serene pond view, which helps justify its higher overall price tag despite being an older property. The quartz counters and new roof at 40 Perry Lane help bridge the gap between the two eras of construction.

Bottom line
A great example of the 'new vs. space' trade-off; 40 Perry Lane offers more land and square footage for the price.

35 Diamond Creek Drive

Sold Jul 30, 2025
Sold for $30k less395 sq ft smaller$15 higher per sq ftModern 2024 finishes

Comparing 40 Perry Lane to this property on Diamond Creek Drive shows a clear trade-off between modern finishes and outdoor space. This sold listing features the latest design trends and a two-car garage, but it lacks the privacy and the full acre of land found at the home for sale. The price difference between the two feels appropriate given the extra square footage and the premium lot features at 40 Perry Lane, even though it is the older of the two.

Bottom line
Both homes offer different strengths, making 40 Perry Lane a reasonable choice if you value land and views over a brand-new build.

15 Diamond Creek Drive

Sold Apr 6, 2026
Sold for $61k less274 sq ft smaller$6 lower per sq ftNew 2025 construction

This property on Diamond Creek Drive is a very strong competitor because it is nearly the same size as 40 Perry Lane but sold for much less. Even though the home for sale has a superior lot with water views and more land, this sold listing was brand new and offered a very efficient layout for a lower total investment. It suggests that 40 Perry Lane might be pushing the upper limit of the local market for its age when a newer home of similar size is available for less.

Bottom line
This sale indicates that 40 Perry Lane is priced at a premium, as you could get a similarly sized new home for less nearby.
