One-level living, flexible space, and a private outdoor retreat come together in this beautifully designed ranch-style home in Wake Forest's desirable Tryon community. One of the things the sellers loved most when they purchased this home was the privacy of the outdoor living space--the ability to relax on the patio without looking directly into a neighbor's backyard. They've enhanced that experience with an expanded patio and awning, creating a comfortable, inviting retreat that has become a favorite place for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or unwinding after a long day. It's a space they truly hope the next owner will enjoy as much as they have. Inside, the home offers one-level living with room for guests, hobbies, and the flexibility to grow. Soaring ceilings, crown molding, and classic wainscoting create an inviting sense of style, while the open-concept main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious family room features a cozy gas fireplace and flows naturally into the gourmet kitchen, where you'll find a gas range, farmhouse sink, pantry, abundant cabinetry with convenient pullouts, and a bright breakfast area. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling, dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closet. A second main-level bedroom is ideal for guests, while the dedicated office offers flexibility for working from home, hobbies, a playroom, or future dining or flex space. Upstairs adds even more versatility with an additional bedroom, full bath, large flex/bonus area, and oversized walk-in storage. Whether you need space for visiting family, grandchildren, hobbies, a home gym, or seasonal storage, this floor plan can adapt as your needs change. And when it's time to relax, step outside to the private backyard and enjoy the outdoor space that first captured the sellers' attention. The covered patio, added awning, and expanded patio area create an extension of the home where you can start the day with coffee, gather with friends, or simply enjoy a quiet evening without the feeling of being on display. Best of all, the easy-care yard means more time enjoying the space and less time maintaining it.

A rare 1.60-acre find in Wake Forest with no HOA, real privacy, and a home that feels anything but ordinary. As you walk in, you're greeted by high ceilings, skylights, a brick fireplace, and an open catwalk above. The skylights bring in natural light throughout the main living space, making the home feel bright, open, and airy from the start. The layout gives you plenty of flexibility too, with a separate flex space that could be an office, study, playroom, or even a second sitting area, plus a dedicated dining area and a loft upstairs that gives you even more room to make the home work for you. The interior has been extensively renovated with a refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring throughout the main level, new carpet upstairs, fresh interior and exterior paint, new cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, and finishes throughout. Additional improvements include a newer HVAC system, new roof, gutters, and shutters. Outside is where the privacy of the property really comes through. Mature trees surround the property, the backyard feels private, and the covered front porch and rear deck give you plenty of places to actually enjoy the lot. The back deck catches beautiful sunsets through the trees, and once the sun goes down, the limited surrounding light makes it easy to sit outside and see the stars. This is a different side of Wake Forest — more quiet, more calm, and less of the everyday rush. Come see it in person.
