3.  What are a few of your favorite LOCAL restaurants or shops?  We like to dine at the various restaurants in Lafayette Village-Village Grill, Simply Crepes, and Sushi One.  For dessert, which is the most important meal of the day, we love Bruster's homemade ice cream on Durant Road and Pelican's Snoballs in Wake Forest;  both are just a hop, skip, and jump away.  Fine dining at Bruno Seafood and Steaks is within the Wakefield neighborhood.

We love to entertain friends and family-the large open floor plan on the main level has plenty of room for everyone and makes it easy to be a part of conversations while serving food and drinks.  I also love how the stove faces into the kitchen and family room for everyone and makes it easy to be a part of conversations while serving food and drinks.  I also love how the stove faces into the kitchen and family room so I don't have my back to my family while cooking.  I can easily maintain a conversation, help my son with homework or watch the news while preparing meals.

The basement has been a wonderful space for us to relax, play when we've had cabin fever from rainy days or cold weather, and guests love the private retreat with the extra quiet bedroom tucked away in the back.  Our guests say it makes for the best nights sleep.

The beautiful view of the pool glowing in the in the evening is also one of my favorite features!

Wake Forest Resident Says:
1.  What do you love most about Wake Forest?  Living in Wake Forest, I find that we get to experience the small town and large city benefits, without having to be in the heart of a large city.  There is a definite sense of community, neighbors get to know one another & community events abound.  Wake Forest is just a quick drive into Raleigh, Durham, and even Chapel Hill, giving opportunity to utilize the shopping, dining, cultural & sporting activities that are offered.  It's also great to be close enough to the area beaches that you can sneak off for a day trip;  the mountains aren't too far either making a weekend getaway easy to do!
2.  What are a few of your favorite LOCAL restaurants and shops?  As a community, Wake Forest really does a great job of supporting smaller, local businesses.  Sure, we have the big box stores and chain restaurants and we are also fortunate enough to have locally owned eateries, such as Main Street Grille, Over the Falls (may I recommend the Table Rock?) , Village Deli and many others!  For the foodies out there, I encourage you to visit Virgilio's, a specialty shop offering oils, vinegars & wine!  For that special gift you need, be sure to check out the local vendors & artists at The Cotton Company.  Have a sweet tooth?  I'll bet you find what you are looking for at Sweetie's Candy Shop. Just look for the floating bubbles from the bubble machine and you'll know you found it!
 
3.  What are some of the best nearby conveniences?  As mentioned above, we have lots of small, locally owned businesses and the conveniences of the big box stores and chain restaurants.  We've got Walmart, Super Target, a couple of Harris Teeters and Lowe's Foods within a 5-10 minute drive of this neighborhood.  We've also got Chili's, Red Robin, Buffalo Brothers, Applebee's and so many others right here in Wake Forest.  There is no need to head into Raleigh when we have so much offered right here at home.

Seller Says:
1.  What do you love most about living in RaleighThere is always something going on.  Whether it's a street fair downtown, a hockey game at the arena or just going to the flea market on the weekend, there is always something fun and interesting to do!
2.  What are the best things about your neighborhood?  Our location is amazing!  We can literally walk out our back door and walk the trail to Shelley Lake or Optimist Park, there are 2 malls within 10 minutes of our house and a variety of restaurants to choose from.  Also, the neighbors are friendly and very helpful.  We were all out in full gear after the last snow/ice storm helping shovel out cars and clearing the common driveway.
3.  What are a few of your favorite LOCAL restaurants or shops?  We love breakfast, our favorite place to go is New York Bagel and Deli on Falls of Neuse.  They have great breakfast sandwiches, and of course, bagels!  We also enjoy Lynwood Grill, especially in the spring/summer for their rooftop dining.  They also began brewing their own beer which is really good.
4.  What are some of the best nearby conveniences?  There are many gas stations and grocery stores nearby including a Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Kroger (Kroger being my favorite for their gas rewards!).  Having the closest grocery store being 5 minutes away is amazing because I tend to forget an ingredient or two when cooking. 
5.  What are your favorite things about your home?  The outside space-we back up to the trails so it's private and wooded without ever being at risk of having a development come in behind us.  It is so peaceful and beautiful, especially in the spring with the trees blooming.
