Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a true Victorian treasure in Wake Forest--complete with a charming ADU for guests, in-laws, or rental income. TOTAL of 3368 SQ FEET of living space across both dwellings. Rich in history & timeless appeal, this 100+ year-old home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, elegant architectural details & a lifestyle designed for both everyday living & memorable entertaining.
Step into the foyer & take in soaring ceilings, intricate decorative molding & a stunning stained glass transom that sets the tone for what's to come. To the right, the gracious living room features an original fireplace with tile surround, a beautiful bay window & refined wainscoting--an inviting space to gather or unwind. To the left, the formal dining room is equally captivating, with a built-in China cabinet, sparkling chandelier & its original fireplace, creating the perfect focal point & conversation piece when hosting dinners.
The library is a dream--lined with floor-to-ceiling built-ins, complete with a rolling ladder, fireplace & a Murphy-style bed or bench, offering both function & charm. It's the kind of space that invites you to slow down & savor a quiet moment with a favorite book.
Further down the hall, the kitchen is truly a showstopper. Thoughtfully designed with a coffered ceiling, extensive trim work & a graceful archway, it blends historic character with modern luxury. Quartz countertops, upgraded stainless appliances--including a built-in refrigerator & vented hood--an apron-front sink, custom cabinetry & a sunlit breakfast area make this space as beautiful as it is functional. A built-in buffet in the hallway (original to the home) adds the perfect touch for effortless entertaining.
The home offers three bedrooms & two updated bathrooms, including a serene primary suite featuring yet another original fireplace--bringing the total to four throughout the home. Newly updated stone flooring leads to the outdoor spaces or the third bedroom, seamlessly connecting indoor & outdoor living.
Outside, enjoy a private, picturesque setting with a paver pathway leading to a gazebo, lush landscaped beds & a spacious patio ideal for dining al fresco or gathering around a firepit. The fenced yard enhances both privacy & charm.
The property's second dwelling--a delightful cottage ADU--features two bedrooms, a full bath, a full kitchen & its own dedicated parking area. Whether used for guests, extended family, rental income or a private work-from-home retreat, it offers incredible flexibility to suit your lifestyle. ADU handicap accessible.
This is more than a home--it's a piece of history, beautifully preserved & thoughtfully updated, ready to be lived in & loved. Come experience the charm, character & possibilities of this exceptional property.
