Property Description

Nestled in the Wake Forest Historic District on South Main, this 1938 gem effortlessly combines timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates. Featured in several town events, the home showcases fresh paint, a newer roof and HVAC, a beautifully renovated kitchen, tankless water heater, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout.
Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the home lives much larger than its quaint, tree-lined curb appeal suggests. Relax on the covered front porch with elegant arches--perfect for watching neighborhood activity. Out back, a screened porch and deck overlook a private yard complete with a garden, garage, and attached carport.
