    Soft hiking trailsLovely neighborhood with sidewalks
    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.
