New ListingListed on the Historic Registry, 637 N Main Street is a distinguished 1903 Victorian residence offering 3,229 square feet of preserved architectural character just minutes from downtown Wake Forest. Largely maintained in its original state, the home showcases original hardwood floors alongside major mechanical updates, including a new roof and two heat pumps installed in 2021. Inside, a grand entryway staircase sets the tone, leading into formal living spaces highlighted by four original fireplaces-including the living room, parlor, formal dining room, and downstairs primary bedroom. The spacious dining room features a built-in China cabinet, while three generous bedrooms provide comfortable retreats. Two of the three full bathrooms retain their original clawfoot tubs and vanities. You'll have plenty of storage with the walk-in attic! Outside, classic Victorian details shine, from the original bay windows to an expansive 53-foot wrap-around front porch designed for effortless outdoor gathering. Set on a private 1.06-acre lot, the grounds offer exceptional outbuildings and storage, including a 3-bay carriage house, a two-story barn, and a detached carport.
