A sparkling in-ground saltwater pool, bubbling new hot tub (2024) with dedicated 220V power, stone fire pit, and expansive deck make the backyard of this Wake Forest retreat steal the show—offering the perfect setting for summer pool parties, cozy fall evenings, and year-round outdoor living. Privately nestled on a generous .70-acre lot with no HOA, this updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home blends comfort, convenience, and fun from the moment you arrive. Inside, thoughtful renovations shine. The bright kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a stylish backsplash, and a large center island that anchors the space—ideal for casual meals or weekend entertaining. A cozy breakfast nook overlooks the backyard oasis, while the family room welcomes you with its wood-burning fireplace and elegant marble surround. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a dual-sink vanity and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath, and a large bonus room offers flexible space for a playroom, gym, or home office. The very private outdoor space punctuated by numerous flowering trees is where this property truly sets itself apart. Cool off in the in-ground pool with low chlorine saltwater system, unwind in the hot tub, roast marshmallows at the fire pit, or host unforgettable cookouts on the oversized deck. The onsite RV parking, and two spacious attics offer ample storage for seasonal décor, gear, or long-term items. The attached 2-car garage and oversized detached garage—wired with 220V—make the perfect setup for hobbies, extra vehicles, or workshop space. With a new roof (2023), HVAC (2021), and a yard dotted with flowering trees, this move-in-ready property is as charming as it is practical. No HOA, no compromises—schedule your showing today and start living your next chapter.
