Description

Thoughtfully crafted with timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and elevated design throughout, this custom residence offers a rare blend of luxury, comfort, and functionality in one of Cary's most desirable locations, just steps from Downtown Cary Park. Featuring 4,410 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an office, media room, exercise room, recreation room, second-floor bar area, and a three-car garage, the home is defined by warm, curated finishes and a refined aesthetic throughout. The exterior combines fiber cement siding, a brick foundation, an oak front door with transom, brick porch detailing, and dimensional roofing accented with standing-seam metal elements for enduring curb appeal. Perfectly positioned near Downtown Cary's celebrated restaurants, breweries, boutique shopping, entertainment venues, and year-round community events, the location offers an unparalleled blend of convenience, connectivity, and charm. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry, soapstone and quartz countertops, a Wolf cooktop and range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, microwave drawer, and a Perlick beverage refrigerator at the bar. An adjoining scullery adds functionality with under-counter ice and wine refrigeration, stone backsplashes, and concealed ventilation integrated into the cabinetry. White oak hardwood floors flow throughout the main living spaces, including the family room, where custom built-ins flank a stone fireplace and a large-format door opens seamlessly to the covered outdoor living area. Thoughtful details such as French doors to the scullery, designer lighting, and integrated Sonos audio enhance both comfort and entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with white oak flooring, custom lighting, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a zero-entry Schluter shower system with overhead, wall-mounted, and handheld fixtures, heated tile floors, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, illuminated shower niches, and a custom-designed closet. Additional bedrooms and baths are equally well-appointed with custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, tile showers, and quality finishes throughout. A second-floor laundry, media room, exercise room, and flexible gathering spaces provide exceptional versatility for modern living. Outdoor spaces are designed as a true extension of the home, anchored by a covered rear porch with stone flooring, a stone fireplace, electric shades, a Big Ass fan, and a Trex-deck outdoor kitchen complete with grill, sink, and refrigerator. Additional features include a Sonos system, security system, EV charger, elevated dog wash station, low-voltage landscape lighting, on-demand water heater, dual heat pumps, 10-foot ceilings on the main level, 9-foot ceilings upstairs, custom wood closet shelving, and premium construction standards throughout. Blending sophisticated design with inviting living spaces, this remarkable property offers an elevated lifestyle in one of the Triangle's most sought-after locations.
