About the property

Charming 5-Bedroom Home with Office and Fenced Yard

Step inside and the built-in bookshelves of the dedicated home office immediately signal thoughtful details throughout this 2016 two-story in Wake Forest’s Bowling Green. With 2,702 square feet, five bedrooms and three full baths, the house balances family-scale living with flexible spaces: a main-floor bedroom and full bath ideal for guests or multigenerational arrangements, an upstairs loft that functions as a media/playroom, and an owner’s suite with dual vanities, walk-in closet, garden tub and an oversized stand-up shower.

Hardwood floors run across the primary living areas, where a fireplace anchors comfortable family gatherings. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances that complement the open-but-defined floor plan; sight lines from the kitchen make entertaining easy while still allowing a sense of separate rooms. Mechanical systems are conventional and well-maintained (central AC, forced-air gas heating) and the roof is asphalt shingle — the property is described in good condition.

Outside, the property sits on a level, fully fenced and landscaped 0.1-acre lot. The backyard offers privacy for weekend barbecues and a safe play area for children or pets, while the two-car attached garage and standard driveway provide convenient parking and storage. The home’s RMX (Residential Mixed-Use) zoning adds a layer of flexibility should future owners consider alternate uses within local ordinances.

Location is a key asset: less than three miles to Historic Downtown Wake Forest, roughly two miles to Wegmans, and within easy reach of Jones Dairy Elementary (≈1.2 miles), Heritage Middle (≈2.3 miles) and Wake Forest High (≈2.5 miles). Recent sales of nearby, similar-sized homes place market value in the $460k–$500k range (midpoint $480k), and this property has shown steady appreciation since the owner purchase in 2022.

If you’re looking for a move-in-ready family home with practical upgrades, versatile floorplan options and proximity to Wake Forest’s schools and downtown amenities, 1609 Frog Hollow Way deserves a close look. Ask your agent about recent comparable sales, rental potential (estimated at approximately $2,500/month) and the RMX zoning specifics for future planning.

Editorial market perspective

Wake Forest’s local market is balanced with a slight tilt toward sellers: inventory sits at roughly 2.5 months and average days on market hover near 30 days. Median sale prices in the area are close to $450,000, with year-over-year appreciation modest at about 5% but up roughly 25% since 2020. For single-family homes similar to 1609 Frog Hollow Way — modern construction, 4–5 bedrooms in established subdivisions — demand remains steady, helped by highly rated nearby schools and convenient access to Historic Downtown Wake Forest and major retailers like Wegmans.

Three very recent, nearby comparables sold between $460,000 and $500,000, yielding a market-derived midpoint of $480,000 (≈$177.68/sf). That clustering of sales within 0.1 miles suggests reliable pricing benchmarks and limited discounting pressure. For buyers, the current market still allows competitive offers without the extremes of a bidding-war environment; sellers generally receive timely contracts.
