1426 Country Club Drive
Wake Forest, NC 27587Some homes simply feel different the moment you arrive. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built, this rare RANCH-STYLE home sits on nearly an ACRE of wooded land along the former Wake Forest Country Club golf course. Mature trees, sweeping green lawn, and vibrant azaleas create a setting that feels more like a private garden retreat than a typical neighborhood homesite. Inside, the home offers the ease of true main-floor living with three spacious bedrooms, including the primary suite, along with a private office and flexible bonus space. Large windows with plantation shutters fill the living areas with natural light, while the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm gathering space at the heart of the home. While the home lives beautifully as a ranch, the expansive WALK-OUT BASEMENT provides remarkable additional space with its own private entrance, ADDITIONAL BEDROOM, full bath, office, and large rec room. Whether used for guests, multi-generational living, recreation, or private workspace, the flexibility is exceptional. One of the home's most special features is its connection to the outdoors. Expansive sliding glass doors from the family room and kitchen frame beautiful backyard views and open to a large SCREENED PORCH overlooking the peaceful, tree-filled yard; a place where mornings begin slowly and evenings stretch comfortably into the night. The kitchen blends charm and functionality with granite countertops, 42-inch maple cabinetry, double ovens, and a cooktop, along with two pantries. A pass-through window to the deck makes outdoor entertaining effortless. Despite the peaceful, tucked-away setting, abundant shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Homes like this with space to breathe, room to gather, and a setting that feels truly special rarely come to market.
