## Description

### Agent Description
Historic character. Walkable location. Endless potential. If you've been searching for a home with personality, this 1905 bungalow delivers. Nestled on a wooded lot in one of Wake Forest's beloved historic districts, this 1 bedroom (2nd BR may be used as an Office), 1-bath gem combines timeless charm with key modern updates-all just minutes from downtown shops, restaurants, breweries, and community events. Inside, you'll find the kind of character that's hard to replicate, along with major improvements already taken care of for you. The roof was replaced in 2022, and the HVAC, windows, flooring, and appliances are only 6 years old. Even better? The refrigerator, washer, and dryer all convey, making move-in day that much easier. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy first home, looking to downsize without sacrificing charm, or searching for your next investment opportunity, this property offers plenty of flexibility. With room to add your own style and build equity over time, it's a chance to create something uniquely yours while owning a piece of Wake Forest history. Minutes from downtown Wake Forest dining, shopping, and entertainment. Strong investment potential (most recent tenant paid $1,400/month). Rarely do homes with this much character, location, and potential come along. Bring your vision and make this historic Wake Forest bungalow your own. Property to be sold As Is.
