About This Home
Situated in the sought-after North Chartwell community of Wake Forest, this French-inspired transitional home blends timeless design with modern function across 4,356 sq ft. Set on 1.66 acres, the property offers rare privacy, mature hardwoods, and a landscaped rear yard ideal for outdoor living and that fur baby. Inside, you'll find a traditional floor plan. The main level features multiple spaces to entertain or sneak away with hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and an elegant foyer framed by formal dining and living areas. A gas-fireplace family room connects seamlessly to the deck and screened porch overlooking the wooded lot. The kitchen includes a gas cooktop, double ovens, stainless-steel appliances, granite counters, breakfast area, and wine cooler. The first-floor primary suite offers tray ceilings, dual closets, soaking tub, and separate shower.

Upgrades and systems include a whole home generator, multi-zone HVAC, gas water heater, and attached 2-car garage. Outdoor living spaces are designed for relaxation and entertainment — covered front porch, composite deck, and lower patio facing west for evening light and sunset views. The 1.66-acre parcel offers space for a garden, pool, or future outdoor kitchen expansion. Located just 10 minutes to downtown Wake Forest's restaurants and shops, 15 minutes to Falls Lake Recreation Area, 20 minutes to North Hills Raleigh, and 25 minutes to RDU International Airport.
