If you're looking for space, privacy, and convenience all in one, this former model home really checks the boxes. Sitting on nearly 2 acres, this three-sided brick beauty gives you that tucked-away feel while still being just minutes from downtown Apex and US 1--so you're never far from anything. And here's a bonus: you'll only pay county taxes here. This home is as smart as it is beautiful, featuring solar panels for energy efficiency, a whole house water filtration system, and it's prepped for a generator, offering peace of mind during any power outages. An irrigation system helps with maintaining the large yard. The property is surrounded by vibrant flowers and attracts birds of many kinds year-round, creating a peaceful, nature-filled setting that's hard to find. A spacious 3 car garage offers plenty of space for cars and a workshop. Inside, you'll find thoughtful details throughout, like an elegant dining room with a tray ceiling and heavy molding, plus a main-floor study with custom built-in bookcases that makes working from home easy. The home features double staircases--one of which is a dramatic curved staircase that makes a grand statement. The main floor also includes a guest suite, a spacious laundry room with plenty of storage, and a large family room that's filled with natural light and centered around a cozy gas log fireplace. A chef's delight, this kitchen offers updated appliances including a gas cooktop and double ovens, generous cabinet and counter space, a walk-in pantry, and an office area with built-ins right off the kitchen. Upstairs, the massive primary suite is a true retreat, with its own sitting area, fireplace, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub and walk-in tile shower. You'll also find two more bedrooms upstairs--one with its own private bath--an additional flex room with a closet, and a huge bonus room with surround sound and two TVs that will stay with the home. Need storage? Don't miss the walk-up third-floor attic that's perfect for keeping seasonal items or anything else you want out of sight but easily accessible. Step outside and you'll love the large deck, paver patio, outdoor fireplace and a fenced-in portion of the backyard, perfect for play or pets. There's even a swing set that conveys. Large lots like this are getting harder to find in the area, especially this close to everything.
