The story
- Basement
Charming, bright, beautifully decorated, and updated, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath half-duplex in Cary offers inviting spaces, thoughtful updates, and a versatile layout suited to empty nesters, an in-law arrangement, or co-living. Built in 2019, the ranch-style home features a distinctive reverse-walkout design that gives it a two-story appearance from the street. A covered front porch, rear courtyard-style patio, and backyard with room for a garden extend the living space outdoors, with fencing permitted. Large windows, extra-wide hallways, and 9-foot ceilings on both levels create a bright, spacious feel throughout the home. The open main-level living and dining areas connect seamlessly to the kitchen, featuring a breakfast bar, ample cabinetry, a pantry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a tile backsplash. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bathroom with a 6-foot walk-in shower and double vanity. A convenient half bath, laundry room with cabinetry and a utility sink, and mudroom with a closet, built-in bench, and cubbies complete this level. Direct access to the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. The front entrance opens into the lower level with 9-foot ceilings, where a welcoming extra-wide hallway leads to a comfortable family room and two bedrooms, including one with a walk-in closet. Large bedroom windows provide abundant natural light, while the family room's exposed ceiling adds a distinctive touch. The beautifully updated full bathroom features a quartzite countertop, heated flooring, marble tile, a decorative mirror, and shelving. Off the family room, a dedicated vault room with a vault security door and built-in shelving is currently used as an office. Generous storage throughout, a $125 monthly HOA fee that includes lawn care and snow removal, and convenient access to shopping, parks, walking paths, and Metra complete this thoughtfully improved home. Served by highly regarded local schools: Briargate Elementary, Cary Junior High, and Cary-Grove High School.
