This nature-loving Eighties Contemporary home sits on over a half acre nestled in mature oaks and pines. It is conveniently situated next to a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks and soft hiking trails around the public Wake Forest reservoir lake with fishing and boating allowed.
Gateway Commons shopping center is less than a mile with grocery, hardware, and gas; restaurants, banks, childcare, veterinary services and more. There is a STEM magnet and several charter schools within a couple miles. Downtown Wake Forest is a 4 min drive and a variety of public transportation options are available. Golf courses, parks, pickle ball courts and multiple recreational opportunities, as well as all major services are less than a 10 min drive.
Since the airport, large hospitals and universities along with the concert halls, art museums, and cultural activities of downtown Raleigh are all less than a half-hour drive, this is an ideal location for professionals or students seeking ease of travel without getting caught in the congestive city hustle.
With fresh paint and professional cleaning, this home will be ready to welcome new tenants on November 1st.
