Success Stories
Make the turn off Six Forks Road and thirty-nine townhomes stand three stories tall at the corner of Lead Mine, brick and warm wood against the North Raleigh sky. A private elevator waits behind every front door. Inside, light runs from the kitchen island up through two levels of outdoor living. Outside, the yard work belongs to someone else.
The Forks is an Envision Homes community at 9211 E Six Forks Road, built for the buyer trading down in square footage on purpose and up in everything else. Every home is 2,061 heated square feet across three floors: three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a single-car attached garage, and an elevator serving all three levels. Lock the door, and go.
Start with what almost no townhome at this level offers. Every home at The Forks has a private elevator serving all three floors.
It changes what the home can do. Groceries and a stroller go up without a decision. A first-floor guest room is still usable in twenty years. Buyers who want a three-story home and hesitate at the stairs no longer have to weigh the two against each other. The elevator is the reason 2,061 square feet on three levels lives like a house you would stay in.
Three floors, 2,061 heated square feet, and a plan that puts the living space in the middle where the light is.
First floor, 494 square feet. Foyer, a bonus room or third bedroom with a walk-in closet, a full bath, the elevator, and the attached garage. A covered porch at the front, and a private patio of 60 square feet at the back under the deck. Ceilings are 9'1".
Second floor, 742 square feet. The main living level: kitchen, dining, family room, walk-in pantry, powder room, elevator, and a private deck of 70 square feet off the family room. Ceilings run 10'1" through the entire floor, which is what makes this level read as a single-family home rather than a townhome.
Third floor, 826 square feet. Owner's suite with its own bath and walk-in closet, a second bedroom with a second full bath and walk-in closet, a linen closet, and the elevator. Ceilings are 9'1".
Kitchens are finished as gourmet kitchens with oversized islands and a walk-in pantry. Homes are offered in two elevations, A and B, with end-unit conditions on both the foyer and garage sides.
The elevation does not read as a row. Bump-outs alternate down the building so no two front doors sit on the same plane, and the material palette carries real weight: brick veneer at the base, horizontal lap siding in Sherwin-Williams Natural Choice, vertical board and batten in Warm Stone, wood accent panels, charcoal metal accents, and large black windows. Front doors and garage doors are Urbane Bronze.
Inside, four interior design packages cover the kitchen, family room, owner's suite and owner's bath, so each home is finished as a set rather than assembled from a list.
Six Forks and Lead Mine has organized this part of Raleigh for a generation, and The Forks takes both its name and its address from that intersection.
Whole Foods, Target, The Home Depot, Lowes Foods and Food Lion are all within the immediate area, along with the dining at Six Forks Station and Harvest Plaza: Poppyseed Market, Great Harvest Bread Co., Sassool, Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread, Milton's Pizza & Pasta, Goodberry's Frozen Custard and the Triangle Cinemas at Six Forks.
Baileywick Road Park and the YMCA of the Triangle sit just off Baileywick Road. I-540 is minutes away. Downtown Raleigh runs roughly 20 to 25 minutes, RDU about 25, and Research Triangle Park about 25 to 30.
Baileywick Elementary School and The Magellan Charter School are both close by. School assignments are set by the Wake County Public School System and should be confirmed directly.
Thirty-nine townhomes sit between Baileywick and Six Forks Roads, with homes lining Roland Lane and a central mail kiosk. A wooded buffer and a retention pond wrap the community, keeping it self-contained one turn off Lead Mine and Six Forks.
The plan sets aside a 21,900 square foot amenity area and preserves roughly three acres of wooded open space. Sidewalks are permeable paver, with multi-use path connections through the site. Homes are served by City of Raleigh water and sewer.
The Forks is self-developed by Envision Homes, a Triangle townhome builder working under a single line: a better life. The homes are designed by GMD Design Group Carolinas.
The Coley Group of Compass represents the community, from pre-sell strategy through closing.
