About this property
Vintage charm meets modern convenience in the heart of Wake Forest. If cookie-cutter homes aren't your style, this beautifully preserved 1905 bungalow is the one you've been waiting for. Tucked away on a wooded lot in one of Wake Forest's most beloved historic neighborhoods, this charming home offers the perfect blend of character, convenience, and opportunity.Featuring 2 bedrooms, this home is designed for today's lifestyle. Original charm pairs beautifully with important updates already completed, including a new roof (2022), plus HVAC, windows, flooring, and appliances that are only six years old. Even better, the refrigerator, washer, and dryer all convey, making your move that much easier.Step outside and enjoy everything that makes Wake Forest so popular. You're just minutes from downtown's locally owned coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, boutiques, parks, and year-round community events. Leave the chain stores behind and embrace a neighborhood with personality.Whether you're buying your first home, simplifying your lifestyle, or adding a unique property to your investment portfolio, this bungalow offers the rare chance to own a piece of Wake Forest history while adding your own personal style over time. The home's strong rental history-including a most recent rental rate of $1,400 per month-also makes it an attractive investment opportunity.Historic homes with this much charm, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location don't come along often. Bring your vision, make it your own, and start your next chapter in one of Wake Forest's most desirable historic neighborhoods. Property is being sold As Is.
