Spacious 4-Bedroom Traditional Home on 0.69-Acre Lot
What sets 1325 Wakefield Farm Road apart is the scale of the yard. Set on a level 0.69-acre parcel in Wakefield Meadows, this traditional two-story home delivers rare outdoor space for the neighborhood — ideal for gardening, play areas, or a future pool and workshop. The house presents 3,356 square feet of thoughtfully maintained living area with a layout that supports both everyday family life and larger gatherings.
Step inside to hardwood floors that run through primary living zones and anchor a modern-but-not-contrived interior palette. The kitchen has been updated for contemporary living and sits adjacent to a casual dining area and family room where a fireplace creates a comfortable focal point. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are distributed across two levels, giving families flexible bedroom and home-office options. Practical updates include a modern HVAC system and central air, while the home's shingle roof and good overall condition reflect consistent upkeep.
Practical features meet convenience: a two-car attached garage, municipal water service, and level driveway access off Wakefield Farm Road. The property uses a septic system — an important point for buyer due diligence — and the lot frontage backs to residential neighbors, providing privacy while remaining part of an established street. With 2,000+ square feet of main living space plus additional finished area, this house balances roomy common areas with private retreats.
Location is quietly advantageous. Wakefield Meadows offers a suburban feel within the Raleigh-Cary MSA: Wakelon Elementary is roughly 1.4 miles away, Zebulon Community Park sits about 2.5 miles from the front door, and downtown Zebulon is a short drive for dining, shops and community events. The neighborhood has shown steady demand; nearby comparable sales suggest strong market value for well-maintained four-bedroom homes.
Buyers will appreciate the combination of size, lot, and systems — a solid foundation for immediate move-in or thoughtful customization. Key next steps for interested buyers include routine inspections of major systems and the septic system and review of any neighborhood guidelines. For families seeking space and longevity in Wake County, this Wakefield Meadows property is a compelling, well-kept example of suburban living with room to grow.

A factual market snapshot around 1325 Wakefield Farm Rd.
Wakefield Meadows sits squarely in a seller-favoring market. Inventory in the Zebulon area runs around 2.5 months — well below balanced-market norms — and average days on market hover near 30, indicating healthy demand and relatively quick turntimes for properly priced homes. Median sale prices in the immediate area center near $600,000, with comparable nearby closings in the past 12 months clustering between $600K and $650K. Over the last year the market has seen roughly 5% appreciation, and a five-year trend shows about 25% cumulative gain.
Single-family homes with generous lots and updated systems perform best here; buyers prioritize outdoor space and move-in-ready mechanicals. Rental demand is also solid — market rent comps suggest roughly $2,400–$2,600 monthly for similar four-bedroom homes, supporting investors interested in long-term cash flow. For sellers, limited supply and steady buyer interest create leverage; for buyers, the market rewards readiness to act on well-priced, inspected listings. Key local considerations include septic-system inspection and careful review of school fit — local school ratings are middling, which may influence family buyers but has not dampened overall demand in the neighborhood.
