    1-YEAR 2-10 HOME WARRANTY INCLUDED! Roof has been inspected (see the report in docs) Welcome to 1196 Smith Creek Way, a beautifully designed home in The Preserve at Smith Creek in Wake Forest. Nestled on a .92-acre wooded homesite, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,906 square feet of well-appointed living space with great attention to detail throughout. Inside, you'll find fresh paint throughout, new carpet upstairs, 10' ceilings on the first floor, and a blend of hardwood and tile flooring. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring a large island and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, a built-in microwave, a dishwasher and refrigerator, under-cabinet lighting, and granite countertops. The expansive first-floor owner's suite offers a tray ceiling, a spa-style bath with dual vanities, a corner jetted soaking tub, and a separate shower. Upstairs, French doors lead to a huge bonus room, plus a flex space ideal for a media room, workout area, or home office. The spacious 2-story family room features a gas log fireplace, ceiling fan, and large windows that bring in natural light. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a screened porch and grilling deck overlooking a private, wooded backyard—ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
