About this House

Step into the charm of historic Wake Forest with this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch home, thoughtfully converted from a former Montessori school while preserving many of the unique details and character of its original construction. From the moment you arrive, the tasteful exterior colors and welcoming curb appeal immediately set this home apart.

The partial wraparound deck provides the perfect place to relax, enjoy your morning coffee, or unwind in the peaceful setting that Mill Street has to offer.

Inside, the home opens into a bright and airy living space enhanced by impressive 12-foot ceilings, creating an inviting sense of openness. A thoughtfully designed accent wall adds warmth, personality, and visual interest to the main living area.

The updated kitchen blends modern convenience with the home's historic charm, featuring stainless steel appliances and distinctive tile selections. Just off the kitchen, a spacious pantry with ample shelving provides exceptional storage. The adjoining laundry room is filled with natural light from its window, making this practical space both functional and pleasant.

Both bedrooms offer their own unique aesthetic, with creatively designed accent walls that add personality while maintaining the home's cohesive style.

The true showstopper is the playfully designed bathroom, where an exciting mix of patterns, textures, and tile selections creates a space that is anything but ordinary. Every detail has been thoughtfully selected to complement the character of this one-of-a-kind home.

Located in historic Wake Forest, this property offers a rare combination of historic charm, thoughtful renovation, modern updates, and distinctive design. With its inviting outdoor space, soaring ceilings, unique finishes, and preserved character, this is much more than a rental it is a home with a story.

12-month lease. Tenant is responsible for all utilities. Smoking is prohibited.

    "A real sense of community. We all look out for each other; never is it as obvious as when the last bad storm came through. Everyone was out the next morning helping to clean up tree limbs and leaves from the entire cut-de-sac, not just their own yard, sharing tools, equipment and man power. "
