Sunlit Ranch on a Private Corner Lot in Margots Pond
What sets 9637 Burge Ct apart is its corner position and the sense of privacy created by the backyard’s wooded buffer — a rare, quiet pocket in Margots Pond. Built in 2005 and thoughtfully maintained, this single-level ranch welcomes you with a brick-front façade and low-maintenance fiber cement siding. A level driveway feeds the two-car garage; inside, vaulted ceilings in the living room create an open, airy gathering space anchored by a fireplace.
The floor plan centers on comfortable, functional living. The primary suite is roomy and includes a sitting area that opens onto the screened porch — perfect for evening reading or coffee without the insects. The primary bath offers both a soaking tub and a separate shower plus a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a well-proportioned hallway bath round out the sleeping wing.
Recent updates reduce near-term maintenance worry: fresh interior paint and new carpet bring a clean, move-in-ready presentation, and an HVAC system replaced in 2019 supports efficient year-round comfort. Practical finishes and neutral tones allow buyers to personalize easily. Day-to-day life flows to the screened porch and level backyard — a private yard that backs to trees rather than neighbors, ideal for pets, play, or a future garden.
Margots Pond’s location is a major convenience: Wake Forest Crossing shopping is only minutes away, Heritage Golf Club sits approximately 2 miles from the home, and WakeMed North and E. Carroll Joyner Park are within easy reach. The property’s single-level layout appeals to downsizers, families seeking one-floor living, and investors drawn to strong rental demand in Wake Forest. Prospective buyers should verify roof condition and review HOA terms as part of due diligence.
Offered at $375,000, this home aligns with recent neighborhood sales and assessed values, delivering a combination of privacy, practical updates, and a desirable Margots Pond address. Schedule a tour to experience the screened porch, vaulted living spaces, and corner-lot setting in person — this ranch blends everyday comfort with a peaceful backyard retreat.
