Thoughtfully expanded to over 5,000 square feet, this residence is filled with natural light and showcases gleaming hardwood floors, exquisite lighting throughout, and custom built-ins that enhance both form and function. The generous great room—anchored by a cozy fireplace—opens to a private patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard with mature trees and a below-ground sprinkler system that spans the entire yard, creating an ideal space for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A dedicated home office for two features Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired windows, adding architectural charm and warmth while creating an inspiring workspace. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms—including a serene primary suite—offer comfort and privacy. The owner’s suite boasts a luxurious bath with heated floors, dual vanities, and a soaking tub, plus the convenience of a second laundry room just steps away. A walk-up attic provides even more space for storage or future customization. The lower level expands your living options with a fifth bedroom, full bath, abundant storage, and a second laundry area—perfect for guests or multi-generational living. An additional feature includes a second refrigerator/freezer and a dedicated freezer in the basement, providing extra convenience for storage and entertaining. Practical updates include a brand-new roof installed on September 28, 2025, and a new water heater, as well as an alarm system and a whole-house generator for peace of mind. The deep two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and additional storage, with even more parking available in the extended driveway. Immaculately tended throughout the years, 3208 Wake Drive is as move-in ready as it is elegant. Whether hosting in the oversized great room, working from the light-filled office, exploring nearby trails, or enjoying the vibrant local scene, this home truly has it all.
