Welcome to this exceptional 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence that perfectly blends luxury, privacy, and convenience. Nestled on a private cul-de-sac lot in an established neighborhood with no HOA, this home backs directly to the Wake Forest Greenway system and offers a serene, wooded backyard retreat. Enjoy year-round outdoor living on the covered, screened-in porch -- complete with its own fireplace -- creating a true extension of the home's living space. All of this is just a short walk to the vibrant downtown Wake Forest entertainment district. Inside, thoughtful upgrades and designer finishes shine throughout. The gourmet kitchen features a gas range, upgraded stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a beautifully designed walk-in butler's pantry. Hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the main living areas, complemented by designer lighting and elevated plumbing fixtures that add a sophisticated touch to every room. The home offers two gas fireplaces -- one anchoring the main living room and a second on the rear screened-in porch -- providing warmth and ambiance both indoors and out. Upstairs, a massive bonus room offers incredible flexibility, ideal for a media room, home office, fitness space, or additional gathering area. A tankless water heater, spacious 2-car garage, and generous layout ensure comfort and functionality for everyday living as well as entertaining. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy modern luxury with direct access to nature and downtown energy -- all without the restrictions of an HOA.
