New ListingTucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature trees, 2620 Forest Lake Court offers the kind of setting that's increasingly hard to find in Wake Forest-beautifully landscaped, private and convenient to just about everything. The backyard is a true standout at just over an acre, an expansive lawn, mature landscaping, established garden beds, a wood shed and fire pit area, all framed by woods for a tucked-away feel. Enjoy it from the screened porch or step directly outside from the main-level to the patio. Inside, the primary suite feels like its own retreat with private access to the screened porch and an updated bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub and tiled shower. The main level offers an easy, open flow with a spacious living area and fireplace, eat-in kitchen, and a true formal dining room. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, a full bath, a large second living room and a separate loft/flex space ideal for a home office, homework area or reading nook. Fresh paint and new carpet throughout the second level gives the entire upstairs a clean, bright feel. Storage is exceptional, with multiple walk-in attic spaces plus additional pull-down attic access-room for everything without sacrificing living space. And then there's the location. Enjoy the quiet, wooded setting while staying approximately 10 minutes from Downtown Wake Forest, minutes from shopping and dining along Capital Boulevard, around 15 minutes from Downtown Franklinton and Falls Lake, with convenient access toward Raleigh. A home that gives you space, privacy and a backyard worth staying home for-without giving up the conveniences of Wake Forest. Lovingly cared for by the same owner for 26 years, this is a home that reflects years of thoughtful maintenance and pride of ownership-ready for its next chapter!
