About This Home

Welcome to 516 Deacon Ridge Drive, located in the established Deacons Ridge subdivision of Wake Forest. This home features a first-floor primary suite, a finished walk-out lower level with a dedicated home theater, and a backyard with mature trees and a seasonal stream, all conveniently located just off NC-98 and only 0.8 miles from the heart of Downtown Wake Forest. A covered wraparound front porch welcomes you inside, where soaring ceilings and hardwood floors create an inviting first impression. The living room features a gas log fireplace and flows into the formal dining room with classic wainscoting, creating distinct spaces that remain connected throughout the main level. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, pantry, and abundant cabinet space. The adjoining breakfast nook is surrounded by three large windows that fill the space with natural light and overlook the backyard. The main-level primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. One of the home's standout features is the finished walk-out lower level with new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. This versatile space includes a dedicated home theater with a projector and screen that convey with the home, a large recreation room, an additional flex area for hobbies, fitness, a game table, or casual seating, a full bathroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and generous unfinished space for a workshop or additional storage with convenient exterior access. Sliding glass doors lead directly to the covered lower patio, extending the living space outdoors. Upstairs, a freshly painted bonus room with a built-in twin bed and closet offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or bonus room. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the second floor. The upper deck overlooks a backyard with mature trees and a seasonal stream along the rear of the property that flows after periods of rain. The covered patio below provides another outdoor space for relaxing, dining, or spending time with family and friends. Recent improvements include a new roof installed in 2023, one furnace replaced in 2023, one of the home's three air conditioning units replaced in 2023, a gas water heater replaced in 2025, fresh interior paint throughout the first and second floors, freshly painted basement trim and ceilings, and new carpet installed on the stairs, throughout the second floor, and in the primary bedroom. Beyond the home itself, the location is hard to beat. Just 0.8 miles from the heart of Downtown Wake Forest, you'll enjoy quick access to locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, parks, and the town's year-round events and festivals. Whether you're meeting friends for dinner, grabbing a morning coffee, or spending an afternoon downtown, it's all just minutes away. Convenient access to NC-98 and other major commuting routes makes getting around the Triangle just as easy. Whether you're looking for room to spread out, dedicated spaces for entertaining, work, or hobbies, or quick access to everything Downtown Wake Forest has to offer, 516 Deacon Ridge Drive brings it all together in one thoughtfully designed home.
