About This Home
Rooted in Wake Forest history and lovingly reimagined for modern life, this ranch-style mill home, originally part of the Royal Mill village, blends preserved character with fully updated infrastructure. Held by its original owners until the 1980s, the home has been painstakingly renovated by the current owners to retain its historic charm while being brought fully to modern code for today's lifestyle. High ceilings, portions of original hardwood floors, and the welcoming front porch serve as timeless nods to its mill-era origins. Thoughtfully reimagined living and bedroom spaces allow the home to live far larger than its footprint, offering an airy, open feel throughout. The renovated kitchen anchors the home with a large island, abundant cabinetry, and walk-in pantry, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while the expansive main-floor primary suite features a massive walk-in closet and beautifully updated spa-style bath. Extensive improvements to systems, structure, and roof provide the peace of mind typically found in new construction. Located just blocks from downtown Wake Forest's White Street and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and adjacent to the Wake Forest Historic District, the setting offers tree-lined streets and timeless small-town charm. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Wake Forest history thoughtfully preserved and beautifully rebuilt for modern living.
