Wake Forest, NC 27587Experience the extraordinary character and beauty of historic mill living in this one of a kind, two level condominium in Wake Forest. Rich in history and architectural detail, this remarkable home showcases original exposed stone walls, gorgeous hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and rustic wood beams that create an inviting atmosphere unlike traditional construction. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers two bedrooms and two full baths on the upper level, including beautifully updated bathrooms. A striking spiral staircase connects the upper level to the spacious lower living area, where the updated kitchen features beautiful cabinetry, quartz countertops and wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining. One of the home's most appealing features is the flexibility of having exterior access to both levels. The upper level is conveniently accessed from the parking area through a secure entry, while the lower level offers step free exterior access along a sidewalk from the parking area, making it especially convenient for bringing in groceries, shopping bags and everyday essentials. Just outside the lower living area, a private fenced courtyard offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by established trees, beautiful stonework and flower boxes. Perfect for morning coffee, relaxing or entertaining! Follow the scenic pathway along the back of the building to Adirondack chairs overlooking the river, a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings. Adding to the appeal, River Mill is located outside city limits and is subject only to Wake County property taxes. The original mill buildings also benefit from a historic property tax designation providing a 50% reduction in qualifying property taxes, helping offset the cost of condominium ownership. Historic architecture, modern updates and a beautiful natural setting come together to create a truly distinctive place to call home!
