Imagine a neighborhood flush with custom-built, luxury homes perfectly located in one of the most sought-after areas of the Triangle. Beauty. Convenience. Tailor Made. Desirable. It may sound too good to be true, yet the dream meets reality in Wake Forest’s Wexford Reserve community. Speight Built Custom Homes is thrilled to have joined Wexford Reserve, selected to transform several lots from blank slates to an owner’s dream. This gorgeous new neighborhood will sell out quickly as the location, amenities, and rich history are so enticing to prospective homeowners.

Wexford Reserve sits minutes from several shopping centers and restaurants yet offers a quaint, quiet setting due to its generous lots and expansive floorplans. The Falls Lake Recreational Center is just around the corner and easy access to both US-1 and I-540 means that travel through the Triangle is extremely convenient.

Speight Built has two new builds already in progress on the desirable Wexford Pond Way. For those buyers lucky enough to partner in their construction, waterfront views will be added to the long list of amenities already included in these alluring homes adjacent to Wexford Pond.

2908 Wexford Pond Way spans over 4000 square feet on a pool-accommodating lot. With four bedrooms and five bathrooms spread across two stories, the possibilities are endless. Included are:

  • Hardwood floors throughout the main floor
  • A kitchen showcasing quartz countertops framed by custom cabinets and a spacious center island with a breakfast bar.
  • 16’ sliding door to a covered porch off the family room
  • Multiple walk-in storage areas
  • Garage space for three vehicles

A staple of southern living is a welcoming front porch and, at nearly twenty feet wide, this home has it covered. Enter the home to find a foyer flanked by a large dining room and a study waiting to be put to use. A huge family room offers a gathering space that is sure to be used for many milestone events, all visible from the designer kitchen. The first-floor owner’s suite features a bathroom retreat with separate vanities (and more quartz countertops!). A tile surround shower, with a bench, sits just steps away from a freestanding tub. Either is the perfect spot to wind down after a long day.

Upstairs, three bedrooms (two with en suites) are just a slice of this home’s ability to offer residents space to grow. Additional second-floor rooms are waiting to be turned into a recreation room, a game room, a home theater, or perhaps a crafts center. There is also a tucked-away tech center, perfect for a corner desk and privacy. Hidden away are two huge storage areas that allow walk-in access taking the ability to organize to a whole new, easily accessible level.

2928 Wexford Pond Way, Speight’s second property, sits just down the street and easily surpasses traditional visions of a ranch home. At nearly 5000 square feet (four bedrooms, four bathrooms), the main floor houses two bedrooms, a huge kitchen, and an optional elevator to the lower level.

  • While the kitchen’s cathedral ceiling is its focal point, there is also a 48” gas range, a 42” built-in refrigerator, and a gorgeous waterfall edge cascading from the kitchen island.
  • The informal dining area and large family room, each open to a second-floor, covered porch that includes an outdoor fireplace. This additional entertainment space is the perfect spot to overlook the views given by the community’s pond.
  • The owner’s suite is highlighted with a beamed, tray ceiling. The en suite offers separate, quartz countertop vanities, a freestanding tub, zero entry spa shower, and a walk-in closet so large that it may be hard to fill.
  • Additionally, the main floor includes a guest room, a study, and access to the home’s two garages.

Take the stairs (or elevator!) downstairs to find two additional bedrooms and space for a home theatre, a second office, a fitness area, or a gameroom. A second covered porch opens to a luscious backyard ready for play.

Wake Forest’s Wexford Reserve aspires to be the best and is well on its way to achievement. The combination of beauty and luxury is not to be missed by prospective new home buyers. Contact Speight Built Custom Homes today to reserve your home in this up and coming community.
