About this home
Nestled on a picturesque 1-acre homesite with beautiful water views overlooking the private pond, this beautifully maintained property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and peaceful surroundings. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of its natural setting, the property lives much larger than its acreage, creating a true retreat just outside the city. Inside, the home features a versatile floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious upstairs bonus room is currently used as a fourth bedroom, offering flexibility as a guest retreat, home office, or media room. The primary suite and two additional bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, along with an expansive recreation or flex room anchored by the home's second fireplace, making it an inviting space for gatherings, hobbies, or quiet evenings at home. Quartz countertops add a timeless touch to the kitchen. Step outside and you'll quickly discover what makes this property so special. The oversized deck, built in 2021 and freshly stained in 2026, overlooks the neighborhood's stocked pond, creating an incredible backdrop for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or casting a line just steps from your backyard. An outbuilding provides excellent storage or workshop space, adding even more functionality. A new roof installed in 2025 offers added peace of mind, while Franklin County taxes and the absence of an HOA provide the freedom and value today's buyers appreciate. Minutes to Rolesville and Wake Forest. Homes that offer this combination of privacy, scenic water views, and everyday livability are becoming increasingly rare. At 40 Perry Lane, it's not just the home that stands out; it's the feeling of slowing down the moment you arrive.
