Wake Forest, NC 27587
Description
Privacy, character, and community! Framed by majestic willow oak trees, this tall, stately beauty sits in a charmingly private setting - and you're only a 5-10 minute walk along tree-lined sidewalks through the beautiful Wake Forest Historic District to coffee shops, breakfast, parks, playgrounds, and everything else downtown! The Wake Forest Farmers Market, Friday Night on White, and other beloved community events are a short stroll from your front door. Inside, floor-to-cathedral ceiling windows capture your eye and draw natural light into the living room, where built-in bookshelves and a fireplace create an inviting space. Just beyond, the three-seasons room offers the perfect sunny spot to unwind while enjoying the private backyard view. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash, apron sink, recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and an eat-in dining area. Side entry from the driveway to the kitchen makes grocery days a breeze. A formal dining room adds even more flexibility for hosting. The spacious first-floor laundry room is thoughtfully tucked out of sight, and is complete with a utility sink and a laundry chute from the primary bathroom! A first-floor front bedroom showcases rich natural woodwork, and connects to a full bathroom. Beautifully maintained and refinished hardwood floors flow through the main floor. New carpet has been installed throughout the second floor. The upstairs primary suite includes a walk-in closet with built-in shelving, dual vanities, tiled shower, and a separate soaking tub facing the private backyard for a spa-like retreat. The third floor offers skylights, built-in bookcases, multiple rooms, abundant closet space, and a half bathroom-ideal as a bonus rooms, play areas, a guest suite, or creative space. Storage is thoughtfully incorporated throughout the home: built-in shelving, generous closets, walk-in eaves, and a backyard shed outside. The details continue with an oversized driveway, an invisible fence line, and a low-maintenance brick veneer exterior. The front and side entry doorbells have their own distinctive chimes heard throughout the home, and forget the mail kiosk- the mail is hand-delivered straight to your front door.
