Better than new — and that`s not just a tagline. Built in 2020 and meticulously maintained, this 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Wake Forest lives and feels like new construction, but with one critical difference: every upgrade has already been done for you. The thoughtfully designed layout puts the primary suite and a second bedroom both on the main floor, with a dedicated flex room offering the versatility today`s buyers demand. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room and third bedroom with full bath create a perfect retreat, guest suite, or private workspace — all with generous storage throughout every level. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main living area with GE Profile appliances and quartz countertops, flowing into a living room accented with custom wainscoting, trim, and a built-in cabinet unit with granite countertop. LVP flooring runs throughout, 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot doors create an elevated, airy feel, and under and over cabinet lighting adds that final designer touch. Builder upgrades include a GE Profile gourmet kitchen, upstairs bonus room with full bed and bath, and a direct exterior door from the garage. Owner upgrades are equally impressive: a 24x15 pergola patio with fans, lighting, and natural gas grill connection; laundry room with cabinets, counter, and sink; living room wainscoting and trim; beadboard accent wall upstairs; wood wall trim in bonus room; built-in cabinet unit with granite in the living room; under and over cabinet lighting throughout the kitchen; blown-in insulation over garage ceiling; air-sealed ceiling penetrations; encapsulated furnace room with radiant barrier; painted garage with custom storage shelves; custom shelving in hall closet and garage hallway; walk-in insulated attic with storage shelves; and a magnet picture wall in the garage hallway. Tankless water heater and roof both original to the 2020 build. Step outside to your private backyard retreat — backing to a protected green area with no future construction, delivering a rare sense of privacy that photographs simply cannot capture. You have to see this one in person. Quick access to US-1 and I-540 puts downtown Raleigh, Research Triangle Park, and RDU Airport all within easy reach. Downtown Wake Forest`s revitalized historic district, Joyner Park, Falls Lake, The Factory, Wake Forest Crossing, and Gateway Commons are all just minutes away. This location, this layout, this level of finish — it simply doesn`t come around often.
