Property Description

A rare find in the heart of Wake Forest! This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home lives large at 2,078 square feet, with a spacious bonus room featuring built-in bookshelves -- ideal for a home office, library, or media room.NO HOA means the freedom to park your boat or RV, and to make this home truly yours, down to the color of the front door. Outdoor Living at its best--over $20,000 in backyard upgrades have created a private oasis: a fire pit for cool evenings, a hammock retreat, an 18x19 patio with a covered section for entertaining, and a back deck for everyday enjoyment. A graveled dog run gives pets room to roam without disturbing the lush landscaping, and the entire yard is fully fenced for privacy. A Gardener's Dream--The grounds are alive with color and texture year-round: canna lilies, gladiolus, daylilies, bearded irises, bee balm, wildflowers, and pollinator-friendly blue mist flowers, alongside silver euonymus, loropetalum, azaleas, gardenias, blackberry and raspberry bushes, hostas, Lenten rose, and coral bells. Mature redbud, dogwood, little gem magnolia, and a juvenile oak provide shade and structure, while the front yard welcomes with knockout roses, dahlias, daylilies, hostas, liriope, and purple tradescantia. Room for Everything--a 2-car garage plus an additional driveway parking space provides room for up to 5 vehicles -- plenty of space for cars, guests, or hobbies. Unbeatable Location--restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores are all within a one-mile radius -- most within an easy walk or bike ride. Enjoy the charm of downtown Wake Forest with everyday convenience right outside your door. Swing by our Open House this weekend! Saturday, 8/8 and Sunday, 8/9, 12-2 PM both days. We'll be out on the back deck enjoying this backyard oasis -- come see why we don't want to leave.
