Set on 1.66 acres, the property offers rare privacy, mature hardwoods, and a landscaped rear yard ideal for outdoor living and that fur baby. Inside, you'll find a traditional floor plan.

Upgrades and systems include a whole home generator, multi-zone HVAC, gas water heater, and attached 2-car garage.

The 1.66-acre parcel offers space for a garden, pool, or future outdoor kitchen expansion. Located just 10 minutes to downtown Wake Forest's restaurants and shops, 15 minutes to Falls Lake Recreation Area, 20 minutes to North Hills Raleigh, and 25 minutes to RDU International Airport.
