Seller Says:
1. The things we love most about our town... "Local shopping with very friendly and helpful staff - unique finds at local boutiques, two favorites are Mary & Mak and Lily Maes. The Factory is close by and offers many family friendly activities and restaurants. Sunflower Studios - a local art studio featuring art from many local artists and they also offer adult and children's classes. Favorite Wake Forest events - Christmas Parade, Six Sundays in Spring Concerts and Art After Hours!"

2. The best things about our neighborhood... "This is such a quiet and peaceful place but still close enough to everything we need. The neighbors are great. We have several neighborhood events throughout the year and it's not uncommon to find vegetables from a neighbor's garden on your porch". 

3.  Our favorite local restaurants... "We are close to both Milton's Pizza locations (North Raleigh and Wakefield) and enjoy eating there. We also love The Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest". 

4. Some of the best nearby conveniences are... "Falls Lake and all the outdoor recreation. There are so many hiking and biking trails, campgrounds and water access points within just minutes. This home is easily accessible to the North Raleigh are and to the Wake Forest area".

5. Our favorite things about our home... "We updated the kitchen a few years ago and really believe that is the highlight of the house. The downstairs master with his/hers closets was a big draw for us as well. The spacious deck and pool are great for the summer. We love the large, spacious lot!"

6. Anything else you'd like to share? "The pool is very low maintenance. It is a salt water pool and with the cleaning robot, weekly maintenance is very low. We chose an above ground pool because they are significantly cheaper and can be easily removed if the next owner didn't want it. Also, we have installed a new HVAC system: two new Trane XL16 units that are extremely efficient with 'Clean Effects' air cleaner that reduces dust and allergens in the home. As well, this new system has a programmable thermostat"!

Seller Says: 
1. The things we love most about our town... "Wake Forest is so cool. It offers all of the new shopping and conveniences while still providing the charm of small town America. With places like the Wake Forest Coffee Company and Over The Falls in downtown and the Cotton Company too!"

2. The best things about our neighborhood... "The neighborhood is located equally convenient to Capital Blvd and historic Main Street Wake Forest. But mostly it is within walking distance to Joyner Park!"

3. Our favorite neighborhood restaurants are...  "Without question the local places like Main Street Grill run by Tom Halik, Over The Falls, The Village Grill & Holden's Barbecue are Wake Forest favorites."

4. Some of the best nearby conveniences are...  "Always a big hit is the Wake Forest Fourth of July Parade on Main Street. It's a walkable distance.  The home is convenient to just about everything including RDU International Airport....just a 30 minute drive."

5. Our favorite things about our home...  "A super feature about this home is the split bedroom plan. The master on one end and the other bedrooms on the other.  The vaulted ceilings are nice and make the home live larger!  A one car garage and the privacy out back. The street is a culdesac and that means little to no traffic.   There aren't many homes in this price range that offer privacy out back. There are no neighbors staring in your back door."
