Listing details for 1005 Martin Bench Ct, Wake Forest, NC 27587 : OWNED SOLAR + BATTERY BACKUP | RENOVATED KITCHEN | PRIVATE WOODED RETREAT Prime location in the desirable Crenshaw Hall Plantation, a well-maintained community where everyday living is well supported by neighborhood amenities. This 2005-built residence is a genuinely rare find -- a low-maintenance, energy-independent home with high-end upgrades throughout, ready for you to move right in. With energy costs climbing and grid reliability a growing concern, this home puts you in control. The owned solar panel system generates 7,100 kWh annually -- enough to offset the majority of a typical household's electricity needs -- paired with a whole-home battery backup that keeps your essentials running seamlessly through outages and storms. No generator, no utility anxiety, no surprise bills. At current local utility rates, that solar output translates to over $1,000 in annual energy savings that comes with the house -- the equivalent of more than a month's mortgage payment back in your pocket every year. This is the only home in the neighborhood with both owned solar and battery backup included, and with local electricity rates up significantly in recent years, that advantage only grows over time. A brand-new roof rounds out the package, meaning the big-ticket items are already done. The kitchen has been fully reimagined as a true gourmet space -- stunning new quartz countertops, premium appliances, and the rare combination of both induction and gas cooking with a professional-grade exhaust hood. It's the kind of kitchen that turns everyday meals into an experience. The main level also received a complete full bath upgrade, bringing the total to three full baths -- a meaningful edge over the typical 2.5-bath layouts in the neighborhood. Living spaces shine with newly finished hardwood floors and new plush carpet. A versatile front flex space works beautifully as a home office or playroom. The backyard is framed by mature shade trees, creating a cool, private setting perfect for relaxing on the large deck -- ideal for a fire pit or play set. Whether inside or out, natural light flows throughout the entire home, making every room feel open and connected to the seasons.
