Sunny 3-Bed Townhome with Gas-Log Fireplace and Patio
Step inside a thoughtfully maintained townhome where the family room becomes the everyday gathering place—centered on a gas-log fireplace that adds warmth and character to weekend evenings and quieter weeknights. This 1,800-square-foot home in The Mews at Legacy Greene blends formal rooms with comfortable living: a formal dining room and living room flank the tiled foyer, while the eat-in kitchen continues the tiled trend for durability and easy upkeep. A covered front entry and a private 10' x 10' patio extend your living footprint outdoors for grilling, container gardening, or an evening glass of wine.
Upstairs the plan is practical for families: three bedrooms, a pair of full baths plus a half bath on the main level, and the convenience of a second-floor laundry. The primary suite offers a restful layout and privacy, while the two additional bedrooms accommodate kids, guests, or a home office. Built with fiber cement siding in 2004 and served by natural gas heating and central air, the home shows well and has been kept in good condition—tile in the foyer and kitchen, solid flooring elsewhere, and a clean, serviceable roof.
Community amenities amplify the appeal: residents enjoy a neighborhood pool and easy access to daily essentials. Parking is by assigned space (no garage), and the level lot of approximately 1,742 sq. ft. keeps maintenance minimal. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence or an investment property—estimated rents in the area run near $1,800/month—the floorplan and locale make this townhome versatile and attractive.

A factual market snapshot around 1327 Legacy Greene Ave.
Wake Forest’s townhome market is currently balanced with a mild seller tilt driven by low inventory and steady demand. Local metrics show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 30 — conditions that historically favor sellers when product is priced competitively. Median sale price for the area sits near $350,000, while recent townhome sales in The Mews at Legacy Greene range $310K–$335K; those comps indicate a fair value zone of roughly $310K–$330K for 1,800 SF units. One-year appreciation is modest (about 5%) while five-year appreciation remains strong (~25%), reflecting continued demand from families and professionals drawn to good schools and commutable access to the Raleigh-Cary MSA.
For buyers: this is a good time to act if you want inventory alternatives with predictable appreciation and rental demand—rental estimates in the neighborhood hover around $1,800/month, creating reasonable yield for investors.
