Wake Forest, NC 27587A true southern dream awaits at 1700 Talbot Ridge in coveted Wakefield Estates. From the moment you pull into the elegant circle drive you will be awed by the expansive lot and formal landscaping. This custom-built, all-brick home was designed in the classic Greek-revival style, marked by grand columns, a massive wrap-around porch, and upper terrace balcony.
