Description

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY, Diamond in the rough!!! ONE-STORY townhouses are hard to come by. Just under 1300SF with two bedrooms and 2 full baths, no stairs anywhere in the home. End unit so you share only one wall with a neighbor, giving you extra windows, and a greater sense of privacy. The single-story layout and main-level bedrooms make day-to-day living effortless, a feature that is increasingly difficult to find at any price point in this market. The bones of this home are worth paying attention to. Ten foot ceilings and crown molding throughout, a high tray ceiling in the primary bedroom, a large kitchen with an eat-in breakfast area, a generously sized living room with a fireplace, and a covered back patio. This is not your average FIXER UPPER. The setting makes it even more compelling. The back of the home faces a private wooded backdrop with no other houses behind. At the end of the street you have direct access to the trails, community center and green space of Joyner Park, one of Wake Forest's most popular community parks, without ever getting in a car. The HOA fee covers the big ticket items that add up fast in any home -- roof replacement (recently replaced), exterior power washing, siding repair and replacement (recently replaced), termite inspection and treatment, foundation repairs, common area maintenance, and annual lawn seeding. The community also includes a pool, tennis courts, and a basketball court. Located minutes from downtown Wake Forest, Falls Lake, and the Triangle's top retail and dining corridors. Staffordshire is an established, in-demand community with consistent sales activity. The property is being sold as-is and this is the right opportunity for a buyer who knows how to look past the surface. Contractor quotes for flooring ( other renovation estimate is available -- call or text the listing agent. ). Ask about financing options including the FHA 203k rehab loan program -- lender information is available in the MLS documents section. This one rewards the buyer who does their homework. Call to schedule a walk-through or request the investment detail package.

    "The commute to Morrisville and back is brutal. Lots of traffic on US 1 and 540. Accidents every day. People drive like maniacs weaving in and out of traffic. It is the only drawback to living here."
