Tucked away in the highly sought-after Porto Fino community of Wake Forest, this home offers something truly rare--a private backyard oasis designed to rival a resort. Step outside to a stunning in-ground pool with waterfall and diving board, surrounded by mature landscaping that creates a sense of complete privacy. Whether hosting unforgettable gatherings or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this outdoor retreat delivers. Three-tiered decks, a cedar pergola, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen provide multiple spaces to relax and entertain--all finished with low-maintenance Trex decking for effortless living. This is more than a backyard--it's an experience. Inside, the home continues to impress with a spacious and thoughtfully designed layout. The open-concept main living area is anchored by a gas log fireplace and flows seamlessly into the eat-in kitchen, while a formal dining room and wine bar create the perfect setting for entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a sun-filled E-Z Breeze room offers a comfortable year-round escape. The upgraded kitchen features Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, a Viking six-burner gas cooktop, Bosch double ovens with warming drawer, and custom cabinetry with smart storage throughout. Warm oak hardwoods extend across the main level, adding to the home's inviting feel. The first-floor primary suite provides a private retreat, complete with tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets by Closets by Design, and a spa-inspired bath with walk-in shower, electric towel warmer, and a private laundry hookup--along with a separate main-level laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, a bonus room, a dedicated TV room, and two full baths, including an en-suite--offering flexibility for guests, work, or play. Two walk-up attics totaling over 1,200 square feet provide exceptional storage or future expansion potential. Additional features include two HVAC systems, an oversized epoxy-floored garage, extended driveway with side parking pad, sealed crawl space workshop, new replacement windows, and a new roof (June 2023).
