Tucked beneath mature trees on a private 0.68-acre homesite, this charming Wake Forest home with a modern farmhouse vibe offers the space, privacy and character that are increasingly hard to find. A rocking-chair front porch stretching across the entire front of the home sets the tone for this inviting property. Inside, the 1,643-square-foot, two-story floor plan features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with crown molding adding a classic touch throughout the first floor. The family room centers around a traditional brick fireplace, while the formal dining room provides dedicated space for gatherings. The recently updated eat-in kitchen features updated cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms and two full baths, including the primary suite with a walk-in shower. A scuttle attic with a large floored area provides valuable additional storage. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a large deck and patio overlooking the private, fenced backyard. A spacious fenced chicken area with an attached coop is already in place, along with a separate storage shed. The detached two-car garage offers additional second-level storage. Additional highlights include an architectural-shingle roof installed in 2016 and windows replaced in 2008. Located in a quiet, established neighborhood characterized by mature trees and generously sized lots—with no HOA and no city taxes. A distinctive Wake Forest property offering privacy, functionality and room to enjoy both indoors and out.
