    What's special

    Welcome to this charming Charleston-style home in sought-after Carpenter Village, where timeless Southern character meets thoughtful custom design. Double rocking-chair porches invite you to slow down and enjoy the neighborhood views, including the community pool and lake just across the street. Inside, the open floorplan is warm and welcoming, featuring hardwood floors throughout the main level, an expansive living room, and a spacious family room accented by an open railing overlooking the second-story hallway. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, complete with granite countertops, maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a gas stove. Exceptional custom wood moldings add rich architectural detail throughout the home--from the foyer and kitchen island to the upper hallway--creating a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. The private primary suite offers a true retreat with a trey ceiling and its own balcony porch with ceiling fans, perfect for morning coffee while overlooking the picturesque neighborhood setting. The spa-inspired bath features a jetted tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet. An oversized bonus room with wet bar, wine rack, and convenient rear staircase provides flexible space for entertaining, a media room, or home office. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a large rear deck overlooking a beautiful cobblestone patio and wooden pergola--an ideal setting for al fresco dining, quiet evenings, or gathering with friends and family. A wrought-iron fenced yard adds charm and privacy while complementing the home's inviting outdoor spaces. Additional highlights include a finished garage, dual-zone heating and air with programmable thermostats, and an on-demand water heater. Ideally located near top-rated schools and just minutes from shopping, dining, Carpenter Park, West Cary Library ,Cary Tennis Park, Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. This home also includes access to outstanding community amenities such as a pool, tennis court, volleyball court, playgrounds, and scenic walking trails around a picturesque neighborhood lake. This home offers the perfect blend of Southern elegance and walkable urban convenience.
