Discover a rare opportunity to own a spacious mid-century modern ranch-style home nestled among mature trees in southern Wake County. Offering approximately 2,867 square feet of main-level living space, this home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, spacious living and entertaining areas, and two fireplaces. The approximately 1,100-square-foot finished basement provides additional flexible living space, including 2 rooms previously used as bedrooms, a full bathroom, den, and kitchenette.
CAR ENTHUSIASTS AND HOBBYISTS TAKE NOTE! The property includes an attached two-car garage and a detached two-car garage, providing generous space for vehicles, storage, projects, and hobbies. A large wood deck overlooks the natural wooded surroundings.

RENOVATE, REIMAGINE, OR START FRESH! This mid-century modern home is in need of significant updating, repairs, and modernization, but its spacious floor plan and architectural character present exciting possibilities for buyers with vision.

Whether your dream is to restore a classic home, create a private wooded retreat, or build a custom residence surrounded by nature, this unique property offers an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in southern Wake County.
IMPORTANT PROPERTY INFORMATION: Property is served by a private well and septic system. The septic permit could not be located for review. Buyers are encouraged to independently verify septic system capacity, permitting, condition, and suitability for their intended use.

Property and improvements are being offered in their present condition. Walnut Investment Properties, LLC is the parent company. Christopher Shaw Real Estate Services is a DBA. Walnut Investment Properties, LLC does not maintain a trust account. The backyard is very steep. Proceed with caution as its a good drop down to the creek.
