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."

Seller Says:
1. The things we love most about our town... "It's quaint. Zebulon is a nice, small town that's quiet and calm. The scenery of the town is the waterfall at Little River Park which is only a mile and a half from Pineview Estates, also less than a half mile are some renovated plantation style homes that are very beautiful". 

2. The best things about our neighborhood... "This is the perfect starter home, great for raising a family and because the power lines are underground, we are normally the last to lose power and the first to get it back!"

3. Our favorite neighborhood restaurants are... "Our favorite is Wangs Bistro, if you have a love for Chinese food please let me suggest this restaurant, the food is always fresh and delicious; we recommend the teriyaki chicken and the peppered steak".

4. Some of the best nearby conveniences are... "I think the best nearby conveniences for me would be walking distance to a grocery store, gas stations and auto parts stores just to name a few. Pineview Estates' location is perfect for those who like to walk into town and see the Christmas parade take place right up the street!"

5. Our favorite things about our home... "The kitchen is absolutely beautiful; there is a large eat-in kitchen with lots of windows which allows for plenty of sunlight. The kitchen also has beautiful laminate floors in Brazilian cherry we recently installed. Also, May of this year we installed a new HVAC and heat pump, then approximately three weeks later a new and bigger hot water heater was installed!"

Seller Says:
1. The things we love about our town... "The Town of Wake Forest is a big reason why we live in this part of Wake County. The town offers community activities year round for everyone. Some of our favorites are: Six Sundays in Spring: the town offers free concerts every Sunday at Joyner Park. Joyner Park starts a few 100 yards from our front door. Very short walk. Wake Forest Farmer's Market: our own small local market offering the best of local produce. Arbor Day: a full day for the kids, tree giveaway, Easter egg hunt and annual service awards. Wake Forest is a 'tree city USA' one of the oldest in the country. Swing into Spring: Close off downtown and enjoy craft and food vendors. Kind of like our own mini state fair. One of our top 3 activities. 4th of July Celebration: Fireworks, crafts, live music and parades...one of the best around. We can walk to Joyner Park and watch the fireworks from the park. Sports, Park and Recreation: Softball, baseball, yoga, basketball, tennis and much more. We have tried most of them, lots of fun! All the events are very close to Old Mill Stream and only a few steps away, as well as the beautiful Greenways throughout Wake Forest...bike or walk to all of these activities!"

2. The best things about our neighborhood... "Old Mill Stream has a great mix of neighbors. We have a great community and everyone sticks together to help keep the entrance signs and roadsides looking perfect. The neighborhood has a great mix of kids of all ages. This is what we will miss the most about Old Mill Stream. All of our friends host BBQ's and family parties for everyone around the neighborhood. We also walk to Joyner Park together to enjoy live concerts and entertainment. The neighborhood is the perfect size for small town living at its best. We also have a great kid's park in the neighborhood that is within 200 yards of our house. A favorite of the kids around our house!"

3. Our favorite neighborhood restaurants are... "Shuckers Oyster Bar is one of our favorites...great seafood and tradition. You can't go wrong with Shuckers for seafood. Main Street Deli is another locally owned and operated restaurant that has a great homegrown menu. Try the Grilled Pimento Cheese sandwich with Texas toast...just awesome! White Street Brewery is a great local business that is in downtown Wake Forest. Within walking distance from the house it's one of the coolest places in town to watch a game or just stop in for a beer. All locally brewed and the old downtown building takes on a life of its own".

4. Some of the best nearby conveniences are... "Most frequent within a mile: Harris Teeter Grocery Store, Cash Points, Capital Boulevard, Joyner Park, Napa, Kerr Drugs and Dry Cleaners".

5. Our favorite things about this home... "Flexibility of the floor plan. It's like a ranch with an upstairs. The back deck area is our favorite part. The age of the house is perfect for the trees in the backyard. The backyard is mostly shaded in the afternoon and allows us to really enjoy hanging out with friends and family without being beat up by the sun. The backyard also has privacy from all surrounding homes. Check this area out if you come to look at our home. The landscaping is completed all the way around the home and the yard has an irrigation drip system for veggies and potted plants during the summer months. When we built this house the things we wanted most were beautiful hardwood floors, tile floors for the bathrooms, big back deck, great local custom builder, below ground irrigation, front stone accents, his and hers closets and large tub in the master. We are the original owners and will really miss this house. If I build another home it will be very similar to this one...if not the same".

Seller Says:
1. The best things about our town... "I love Wake Forest because it has a small town feel with the conveniences of the city only a few minutes away. I love the history of Wake Forest. You can drive around and look at the beautiful, old buildings and the huge magnolia trees found around the seminary. The parks of Wake Forest are awesome"!

2. The best things about our neighborhood... "It is peaceful (you can sit on your porch and listen to the birds and the wind through the trees, not the sound of cars driving by), there is not a lot of traffic, no two houses look alike, the lots are large, the houses are spread out, there are lots of hills so it makes for a great cardio workout, and the people are friendly. You can also look out your window and see deer, wild turkeys, and have an occasional turtle come across your yard".

3. Our favorite neighborhood restaurant... "Our favorite local restaurant is Las Margaritas on Six Forks in Raleigh. It is owned by three fantastic brothers. The food is awesome! They have a wonderful salsa bar. Our family has food allergies (gluten, dairy, and soy) and they were always accommodating to our special orders. They treated us like family every time we went there. They even taught our kids a little Spanish".

4. Some of the best nearby conveniences... "You are only 30 minutes from the airport. The neighborhood is equal distance to Downtown Wake Forest as it is to Raleigh which gives you more options for shopping and dining out".

5. Our favorite things about this home... "Our favorite thing about our house is that it is a perfect home to raise a family and it has an awesome backyard. It is a complete package. We love the kitchen with the large island with extra storage and the granite counter tops. We like having all the bedrooms together on one floor and that each bedroom has a bathroom. We love all the easily accessible storage like the walk up attic and the two side storage areas in the bonus room. We like having the extra living room upstairs so the kids have their own area to play. We like the special touches like the coffered ceiling in the living room, the built-in shelves, the high ceilings, and the color scheme of the house. We love sitting outside on the patio by the fireplace. We love being able to grow our own organic vegetables in the raised garden beds. We love having the workshop (or man cave). We like being able to look out our windows to see the beautiful patio rather than looking out to see our neighbor's house. We loved our house from the minute we walked in. It felt like home. It truly is a complete package with a beautiful custom home and custom landscaping"!
