About This Home
As of August 20251-YEAR 2-10 HOME WARRANTY INCLUDED! Roof has been inspected (see the report in docs)
Welcome to 1196 Smith Creek Way, a beautifully designed home in The Preserve at Smith Creek in Wake Forest. Nestled on a .92-acre wooded homesite, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,906 square feet of well-appointed living space with great attention to detail throughout.
Inside, you'll find fresh paint throughout, new carpet upstairs, 10' ceilings on the first floor, and a blend of hardwood and tile flooring.
The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring a large island and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a built-in microwave, a dishwasher and refrigerator, under-cabinet lighting, and granite countertops.
The expansive first-floor owner's suite offers a tray ceiling, a spa-style bath with dual vanities, a corner jetted soaking tub, and a separate shower. Upstairs, French doors lead to a huge bonus room, plus a flex space ideal for a media room, workout area, or home office.
The spacious 2-story family room features a gas log fireplace, ceiling fan, and large windows that bring in natural light.
Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a screened porch and grilling deck overlooking a private, wooded backyard—ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Additional features include a 2-car garage with a workbench, an extra parking pad, a storage shed, and a vapor barrier in the crawl space.
Enjoy fantastic community amenities including a clubhouse, pool, and playgrounds, all just 7 miles from Falls Lake—a perfect spot for boating, fishing, and outdoor adventures.
Previous sale fell through due to buyer financing. Home was taken off the market and recently relisted after updates including fresh paint, new carpet, updated fixtures, crawl space improvements, and septic system pumping and service.
