About the property

French Provincial Home on 15th Fairway — 1st-Floor Primary & Bonus Loft

Rare opportunity in Heritage’s Overlook: this Ammons-built French Provincial model home offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms and sweeping golf-course panoramas. The home sits on a larger lot (includes the adjacent lot to the right) and backs to the 15th fairway and green — a peaceful backdrop for the primary suite's bow-window sitting area. The primary suite is on the first floor and measures nearly 600 square feet: two closets, separate vanities, a walk-in shower, a separate soaker tub and a private sitting alcove with view.

Enter through a grand hall flanked by the formal dining room and a flexible room that functions well as a king-sized office, additional living area, or could be converted to another first-floor bedroom. The two-story family room is the heart of the home — with floor-to-ceiling windows, fireplace and built-ins — and opens visually to a loft/bonus that overlooks the space below. The second floor hosts three large bedrooms, including a jack-and-jill between two rooms, a third full bath across from the fourth bedroom, and a framed walk-in attic with roughly 400 SF of convertible expansion space and its own Juliette balcony.

Practical upgrades and seller care are evident: interior painting just completed; roof replaced 2021; one HVAC unit replaced 2020; water heater replaced Aug 2025; gutter guards; plantation shutters throughout and central vacuum. Outside, enjoy an all-brick patio with golf-course views and a front porch that looks toward tee boxes. Walk to the Heritage clubhouse, restaurants and neighborhood shopping — and enjoy optional golf, swim and tennis memberships offered by the association. This home is move-in ready and uniquely configured for buyers who value single-floor primary living plus significant upstairs entertaining and expansion potential.

Editorial market perspective

Wake Forest remains a sought-after Raleigh suburb, and Heritage represents the premium amenity-driven segment of that market. Inventory in desirable neighborhoods has been modest, creating an advantage for well-presented homes. Luxury and upper-tier properties require targeted marketing — emphasize lot, the included adjacent parcel, and the true first-floor primary to draw buyers. Median prices in the broader Wake Forest market are below this list point, but golf-front lots and model-quality finishes command a premium; expect strong interest from buyers relocating from downtown Raleigh or seeking community amenities with quick access to the Research Triangle. Days on market for comparable premium listings typically run higher than entry-level homes, so pricing and staging will be important to convert interest to offers.
