About the property

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.

Editorial market perspective

Wake Forest’s Heritage neighborhood currently favors sellers. Inventory is tight—about 2.5 months supply—so well-presented single-family homes typically sell within roughly 30 days. Median sale price in the area sits near $850,000 with year-over-year appreciation around 5% and roughly 25% over five years, reflecting steady demand from families drawn to quality schools and neighborhood amenities. Sales comparables immediately surrounding 916 Overlook Ridge suggest a valuation band of $850,000–$900,000; the midpoint estimate of $875,000 aligns with recent closings on Overlook Ridge and similarly sized homes with golf frontage. For buyers, this means competing in a market where prepared properties—those with updated systems and strong curb appeal—stand out. For sellers, limited days-on-market and rising values support confident pricing strategies. Single-family homes in Heritage consistently outperform condos and attached products in velocity and price stability because of lot sizes, community amenities (golf, swim & tennis), and top-rated schools. Given current inventory and demand, now is a strategic time to list or to secure a primary residence here if ready to move quickly.
