Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a home lovingly built and meticulously maintained by its original owners, ideally located just one mile from the heart of downtown Cary--close enough for most to walk and enjoy all it has to offer. Spend your days exploring the nearby library, expansive park, local restaurants, and the charming art house theater, all just minutes from your doorstep. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home sits on a private 0.28-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, offering both tranquility and convenience. Inside, you'll find a functional and inviting layout featuring a spacious family room with a vaulted ceiling and a classic brick fireplace, a formal dining room, and a kitchen ready for your personal touch. The main floor also includes a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and another full bath. While the home could benefit from cosmetic updates, many of the major improvements have already been taken care of, including replacement windows, durable fiber cement siding, gutters with a lifetime Gutter Dome warranty, and a roof replaced in 2016. Bamboo flooring runs through most of the main level, complemented by tile in the bathrooms. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a 20x12 screened porch and a 10 x 12 grilling deck added in 2010--perfect for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the peaceful backyard setting. This is an incredible opportunity for buyers looking to get close to downtown Cary at a price point that allows room to make it their own.
