French Provincial 4BR Home Overlooking Heritage Golf Course Views
The moment you arrive at 916 Overlook Ridge Rd the French Provincial silhouette and brick-and-fiber-cement façade announce a home built for both presence and comfort. Set on a generous 0.43-acre lot with direct sightlines to the 15th green, this former model home offers a rare combination: golf-course living without sacrificing everyday family functionality.
Step inside to a two-story family room anchored by a fireplace and custom built-ins—an elegant pivot between formal and relaxed living. The main floor primary suite is a standout: a true first-floor retreat with a private sitting area framed by windows that capture the green beyond. Rich hardwood floors run through principal rooms and are complemented by plantation shutters, central vacuum, and thoughtful millwork carried throughout the home.
The kitchen and dining adjacencies support both intimate dinners and larger gatherings; a formal dining room and a loft-style bonus room upstairs provide flexible space for a home office, media room, or play area. Practical updates have been made with longevity in mind: a new roof in 2021, HVAC replaced in 2020, and a new water heater installed in 2025—so you can move in with confidence.
Outside, the lawn and mature plantings create a private setting with room to add outdoor living amenities. The driveway leads to a two-car attached garage and additional yard space that invites expansion—landscaping projects, a patio, or a play area are all possible. The Heritage neighborhood lifestyle is part of the offer here: minutes from the Heritage Golf Club, the community swim & tennis club, and Heritage Lake, with downtown Wake Forest just a short drive away.
This home sits within a strong Wake Forest market where Heritage properties trade quickly. Whether you are prioritizing school proximity, golf-course vistas, or a well-maintained, move-in-ready house with meaningful mechanical updates, 916 Overlook Ridge Rd is a distinctive option. Schedule a tour to experience the scale, the sightlines to the green, and the refined details that made this a model home.
