About this home

Live like every day is a vacation. Nestled in the sought-after Traditions community, this well cared for home provides effortless main-floor living and resort-style amenities. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main level, this home truly lives like a ranch. Soaring 9-foot ceilings create an open, airy feel from the moment you walk in. A dedicated office nook with built-in cabinetry gives remote workers a functional workspace without sacrificing a bedroom. The kitchen is the heart of the home and it delivers. A Butler's Pantry with walk-in pantry connects to the dining and kitchen areas. 42-inch cabinetry with some pull-out storage, a gas cooktop, built-in wall oven and microwave, granite counters, undercounter lighting, and a dedicated water filtration faucet at the sink. Upstairs you'll fond a spacious loft, 4th bedroom, 3rd full bath, and walk-in attic storage. Major systems include dual-zone AC (2017), a whole-house reverse osmosis water filtration system, a water softener (both owned), an air purification system with UV lights, a radiant barrier, fiber cement siding, and PlyGem windows with a 20-year transferable warranty. The security system is owned and under warranty. Step outside to a large screened porch, an oversized patio with a gas line ready for your grill, a black iron fenced backyard with a drip irrigation system in the natural area, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you will never push a mower again. The Traditions Villa HOA covers mowing, mulching, leaf removal, and hedge trimming, so you get the yard without the work. The community itself is the finishing touch. A state-of-the-art saltwater pool, clubhouse with stone fireplaces, amphitheater with live music, Duncreek Greenway trailhead, paved bike and walking trails, tennis courts, pickleball, bocce ball, volleyball, aerobics classes, yoga classes, cooking classes, and a community garden, all just minutes from Downtown Wake Forest, Wegmans, and RDU. This is not just a home. It is a lifestyle.
