ONE-OF-A-KIND luxury living with timeless charm! Built just over a century ago, this stunning Georgian residence is nestled in Wake Forest's Historic District and is meticulously maintained with high-end updates throughout--a rare treasure! The chef's kitchen is a showpiece, featuring granite countertops, center island, ornate trim, and a cozy breakfast nook. Premium appliances, a Miele coffee system, DACOR induction cooktop (gas option available), and a large custom pantry elevate both function and style. Designed for entertaining, the formal dining room showcases a striking mica ceiling, while upholstered walls, rich oak hardwoods, and custom paint accents add sophistication and warmth throughout the home. Upstairs, find a large Primary Suite, WIC, and bath w/shower. 3 other generously sized beds and updated hall bath. Step outside to your private oasis--complete with a saltwater pool and sun shelf. Former 10-person hot tub (currently filled) can easily be restored. Enjoy a putting green, tranquil fish pond with waterfall, and a covered, screened gazebo. Bluestone walkways wind through a lush, vibrant landscape, all anchored by a rare double-pit brick BBQ/fireplace--perfect for entertaining or relaxing evenings. Additional features include a cedar closet, downstairs central vacuum system, whole-house generator, attic fan, optional ADT security system, programmable thermostats (NEST), and front/back irrigation. Architecturally matched Marvin windows (installed in 2007 & 2019), gutter guards, newer HVAC, built-in safe, and roll-down attic storage add convenience and peace of mind. The full walk-down basement includes a workbench for projects or storage. An Italian metal fence adorned with French roses beautifully frames the backyard, completing this extraordinary property. This is more than a home--it's an experience. A must-see!
