Beautifully renovated and move-in ready, this distinctive home is tucked away on a private wooded acre just outside the Cary city limits, with no city taxes and no HOA. Enjoy an exceptional blend of peaceful seclusion and everyday convenience, with Oak Grove Elementary, shopping, dining, Jack Smith Park, and Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve all close by. Lovingly landscaped and cared for over two decades, the property reflects pride of ownership throughout. Inside, repurposed and refinished heart pine floors flow through both the first and second floors. The great room impresses with its vaulted ceiling, masonry fireplace, and dramatic picture window stretching from floor-level to the peak of the ceiling. The renovated kitchen is designed to gather and inspire, featuring wood-beamed ceilings, generous counter space, breakfast bar seating, a sunny dining area, and updated tile flooring. The first-floor owner's suite offers a wood-beamed ceiling and private screened-in porch. Upstairs, the loft with a second fireplace provides wonderful flexibility for a home office, studio, reading lounge, or creative retreat. The home also features a recreation room, covered patio, and a walkout basement workshop that is exceptionally well-suited for woodworking, metalworking, or hands-on projects. Outside, enjoy the serenity of your private back deck overlooking a stocked koi pond. Unfinished workshop is both heated and cooled.
