Description
Calling all visionaries, renovators, and custom builders! Located in the heart of Downtown Wake Forest, this all-brick ranch is a rare opportunity to secure a hard-to-come-by property in a prime location. Whether you are dreaming of a ''Chip and Joanna'' style total rehab or planning to bring the demolition crew and your blueprints for a custom estate, the potential here is limited only by your imagination. While the home includes a detached workshop and carport, the true crown jewel is the expansive .9-acre lot--a size almost never seen this close to the downtown core. Enjoy the freedom of significant acreage without sacrificing the walkability of city living. You are just a short stroll from local favorites like Black & White Coffee Roasters, The Cotton Company, and the various boutiques along the historic White Street district. Grab a burger at The Burger Shop or enjoy a night out at White Street Brewing, all while being minutes from your own private nearly-acre retreat. This is a ''once-in-a-generation'' opportunity to build or renovate in one of the Triangle's most charming areas. Sold ''as-is,'' this is the ultimate canvas for your next big project.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 91% nearby.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI spent all 4 years at this high school, and my experience is kind of iffy. Yes, there were some good teachers, but other teachers at this school were horrible. The teacher's use some of the same methods of teaching that were used during the covid years, just showing videos and not explaining or going over what was learned. The environment is not welcoming and fights happen every week at the school, providing an unsafe environment for students there actually trying to learn. The school also only prepares you for college if you are staying in-state, if you're planning on going to an out of state school, nobody is going to help you. The school will also prioritize the students doing well in classes and not give an equal opportunity to students having problems learning, some teachers only teaching in a way that is made to help certain types of students learn (like type a learners). In addition to the horrible education at this school, the funding for programs goes mainly to athletics, leaving little to no money for other programs. Overall, I would not recommend a parent looking to send their child to this school unless they are looking to emotionally traumatize them.Other Review2y ago - Wake Forest Middle School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWake Forest Middle School has been such a wonderful experience for my family. From day one, we felt welcomed and supported by the staff, teachers, and administration. The communication is strong, the expectations are clear, and you can tell that the school truly cares about the success and well-being of every student.My child has grown academically and socially since attending WFMS. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure students understand the material, offering extra help when needed and encouraging them to do their best. I also appreciate the way the school focuses on both academics and character; it really shows in the way students interact with each other and with staff.The school offers great extracurricular opportunities, and the environment feels safe, structured, and positive. As a parent, it means a lot to see my child excited to go to school and proud of the progress they’re making.I’m grateful for the dedication of the WFMS community, and I highly recommend Wake Forest Middle School to any family looking for a supportive and engaging learning environment.Parent Review5mo ago - Richland Creek Elementary School
