What's special
One of Merriam Hill’s most admired properties, this distinguished 1922 Colonial Revival is set on over an acre in a tranquil setting overlooking “Granny” Pond, with beautiful views and memorable sunrises. Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully maintained over the years, the residence offers gracious proportions, 9-foot ceilings, exquisite period mouldings, handsome built-ins, and exceptional spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. A magnificent front-to-back living room serves as the heart of the home, with a fireplace, wall of built-in bookcases, vaulted ceiling, and beautifully detailed mouldings. The room opens seamlessly to a heated sunroom with sink and direct access to a private bluestone patio, extending the living space outdoors. The spacious kitchen offers tremendous flexibility, with a dedicated laundry area, work station, generous dining space beneath a distinctive turret like ceiling, and access to a wraparound deck. The elegant dining room features glass-front cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, and a folding door opening to the patio, creating an inviting setting for effortless summer entertaining.The expansive primary suite offers a fireplaced bedroom, full bath and a fireplaced private dressing room . Four additional bedrooms and a walk-up attic complete the second floor. The lower level features a knotty pine playroom with direct access to the rear grounds. A charming gardener’s cottage, attached to the 2 car garage, adds to the property’s unique appeal, versatility and possibilities.Surrounded by mature landscaping and exceptional outdoor spaces, this remarkable property combines the romance and craftsmanship of a bygone era with an enviable location. Just minutes from town center and within walking distance of all three schools, Cary Library, the Minuteman Bikeway, conservation and recreation areas, and major routes, this is a rare Merriam Hill offering of enduring character, privacy, and convenience.
