Picture your sunny Carolina days here: coffee in a rocking chair on the front porch, nearly an acre around you, then a stroll down the walking path to the neighborhood's private fishing pond to cast a line. That's everyday life at 1047 Wheeler Pond Road, just one mile past the county line, so you get Wake Forest convenience without Wake Forest taxes, with Raleigh, Durham and RTP all within reach. Evenings belong to the screened-in deck. Have dinner outside while the backyard stretches out for lawn games, a garden and wide-open play. It's built with low-maintenance Trex/PVC, so you spend your weekends enjoying it, not staining it.
