Bright End‑Unit 3BR/2.5BA Townhome Near Downtown Wake Forest
This end‑unit townhome at 321 Conrad Lane is a fresh, thoughtfully finished home that brings contemporary details to life just steps from Wake Forest’s downtown. Built in 2023 and offering 1,588 square feet, the layout prioritizes light and livability: open main living spaces with luxury vinyl plank floors, quartz countertops and a tiled backsplash in the kitchen, and a covered front porch that acts as an inviting transition from street to home.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and 2.5 baths are arranged with modern convenience in mind. The primary suite provides privacy and functional finishes, while the two additional bedrooms are well sized for remote work, children, or guests. Thoughtful construction details—central HVAC via heat pump, durable shingle roof, and clean frame construction—help explain the building’s excellent condition and low maintenance profile.
As an end unit you’ll appreciate extra daylight and one side of added privacy; the property also includes a one‑car attached garage plus an additional driveway space. Outdoors, a modest back patio provides room for a grill and potted plants without demanding weekend upkeep. The HOA fee is $82/month and covers grounds maintenance and pest control, a definite plus for buyers seeking low‑effort ownership.
Location is a core strength here. You’re roughly 0.5 miles from Downtown Wake Forest: farmers markets, independent restaurants, and community events are an easy walk or an even quicker bike ride. Joyner Park, Flaherty Dog Park, and neighborhood green spaces are all within short drives. Whether you’re a first‑time buyer, downsizer, or investor (estimated rent range $1,800–$2,000/month), this property pairs modern finishes with a proven market appetite for new construction townhomes in Wake Forest.
