About this home

New Price! If this custom Wake Forest home has been on your shortlist, now is a great time to take another look. Set on a private 0.59-acre lot just minutes from downtown, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the ease of main-level living, a separate upstairs retreat, and outdoor spaces you'll want to see in person.

Three bedrooms and 2.5 baths are on the main level, with a fourth bedroom, full bath, and bonus room upstairs. Inside, 10+ ft ceilings, hardwood floors, custom millwork, plantation shutters, and built-in bookcases give the home its character. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and a walk-in pantry, and opens to the family room for easy everyday living and entertaining.

The private primary suite features a double tray ceiling, a generous walk-in closet, dual vanities, a jetted tub, and a frameless glass walk-in shower. A dedicated office area, drop zone with a built-in bench, laundry room with a utility sink, walk-in attic storage, and an oversized two-car garage keep everyday essentials organized. Whole-home audio, a water purification system, and an outdoor sprinkler system add convenience.

Start your morning on the covered front porch, spend the afternoon on the screened porch, or grill on the deck with its built-in gas hookup. The private patio, hot tub, and fire pit make it easy to spend evenings outside, too.

Beautifully maintained and move-in ready, the home features a roof replaced in 2019, HVAC systems replaced in 2020 and 2021, no city taxes, and low HOA dues. Schedule your first tour or come back for a second look and see if this is your NextHome!
