This Wake Forest home has it ALL: The floorplan you need, the privacy you desire, the proximity to town you prefer and the ease of public water/sewer services and natural gas on a partially wooded .88 acre lot.

From the moment you pull into the cul-de-sac at 2504 Forest Lake Court, you will be impressed with the curb appeal of this 3-story home. Soft yellow fiber cement siding with forest green shutters is complemented by the lush green grass and flowering landscape beds. An irrigation system assists with the maintenance of the beautiful yard. A fenced backyard creates a private sanctuary for you and your pets.

Inside the home, you'll find the ultimate floorplan. The first floor offers a formal dining room and sitting room, chef's kitchen, family room and the highly coveted guest suite with full bath. An expansive deck and screen porch spans the ENTIRE back of the home. You can access the deck from the guest suite or the screen porch from the kitchen. The size of both outdoor living spaces is unrivaled. You definitely won't find a backyard like this in new construction. Deck is pre-wired for a hot tub. A wooded buffer behind the property offers privacy and the opportunity to explore nature. Luxury plantation shutters on the first floor provide quintessential Southern living.

The second floor boasts 4 bedrooms, the laundry room and a bonus room. The owners' suite is fabulously oversized with 4 windows on back corner of the house to provide views of the hardwood trees. The owners' suite also offers enviable two spacious closets, tile in the owners' bath, a deep soaking tub with jets, shower and separate water closet. The three secondary bedrooms and the bonus room are all large with tall windows and sizable closets. Two sets of stairs provide access to this comfortable living space.

Tucked in the corner of the bonus room is the door to the 3rd floor walk-up attic which offers storage space like you can't imagine.

The chef's kitchen offers gas range, island, built-in desk, butler's pantry, double ovens, 2 pantries and drop-zone next to the garage. Easy access to Wake Forest restaurants, grocery stores and Joyner Park. If high schools are important to you, Wake Forest High School earns a stellar reputation for both academics and athletics.
