Property description
Originally built in 1845, updated in the 1890s, 1950s and late 1980s, this incredible home is located in the National Register Historic District. It is NOT currently on the register, but could be restored to do so. Located on 1/2 acre within a 5 minute walk of Historic Downtown Wake Forest, Wake Forest High School, Wake Forest Elementary School and across the street from Holding Park and the Wake Forest Aquatic Center, this home is in the center of the action. Sit on the front porch and chat with walkers and joggers any time of day. The hardwood floors in the front part of the house are original to the home. All 6 fireplaces are in working order. This home does need some work. New paint and carpet are needed and most will want to redo the 1.5 baths.
