721 Wait Avenue Wake Forest , NC 27587

Finding an original-owner 1960s brick ranch this well-maintained, especially just a few blocks from Downtown Wake Forest, is an absolute rarity. Preserved with incredible care, this classic property offers authentic time-capsule charm. It features a clean layout that has been thoughtfully maintained by good stewards over the years. Move right in and enjoy its retro character as-is, or bring your design vision to update and customize it at your own pace. An attached carport provides convenient covered parking and direct protection from the elements as you step inside. The main living space centers around a welcoming family room designed for easy gathering. Nearby, the kitchen features solid wood cabinetry with an efficient layout that flows smoothly into the adjacent dining area. Tucked quietly at the rear of the home, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, accompanied by a guest bedroom. Out back, the expansive, nearly half-acre lot opens up endless possibilities. Complete with multiple outbuildings, the yard provides space for a workshop, garden beds, extra outdoor storage, or a future ADU. It serves as a fantastic canvas for weekend games and outdoor cookouts. Best of all, you are located just a few blocks from historic White Street's favorite local spots. Grab your morning brew at Black & White Coffee Roasters, browse the boutiques at The Cotton Company, enjoy a casual dinner or quick bite at The Burger Shop, and wind down at White Street Brewing. Whether you choose to preserve its timeless vintage charm or renovate it into your modern dream home, this property delivers our favorite sturdy ranch vibes on a prime downtown lot.
