About This Home
Calling all visionaries, renovators, and custom builders! Located in the heart of Downtown Wake Forest, this all-brick ranch is a rare opportunity to secure a hard-to-come-by property in a prime location. Whether you are dreaming of a ''Chip and Joanna'' style total rehab or planning to bring the demolition crew and your blueprints for a custom estate, the potential here is limited only by your imagination. While the home includes a detached workshop and carport, the true crown jewel is the expansive .9-acre lot--a size almost never seen this close to the downtown core. Enjoy the freedom of significant acreage without sacrificing the walkability of city living. You are just a short stroll from local favorites like Black & White Coffee Roasters, The Cotton Company, and the various boutiques along the historic White Street district. Grab a burger at The Burger Shop or enjoy a night out at White Street Brewing, all while being minutes from your own private nearly-acre retreat. This is a ''once-in-a-generation'' opportunity to build or renovate in one of the Triangle's most charming areas. Sold ''as-is,'' this is the ultimate canvas for your next big project.
