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.

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.
