๐ก TAKE A WALK BACK IN TIME & DISCOVER A RICH HISTORY!
Welcome to 521 S. Main Streetโa stunning Georgian Revival home built in 1925 for Dr. C. T. Wilkerson, one of Wake Forest's prominent early physicians. Situated on one of the town's most prestigious streets, this remarkable residence reflects an era when Wake Forest College was still in town and South Main Street was becoming a showcase avenue for community leaders.
When Dr. Wilkerson built the home:
~~ Wake Forest College was still located in Wake Forest.
~~ U.S. 1 had not yet become the major highway corridor it would later be.
~~South Main Street was evolving into a showcase residential avenue.
~~The town population was only a fraction of its modern size.
~~Physicians were among the most respected and influential citizens in the community.
Today, this historic gem beautifully blends timeless character with modern updates, offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 3,328 sq. ft., plus a 411 sq. ft. unfinished basement.
