Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac just minutes from vibrant downtown Apex, this inviting home combines charm, privacy, and location in one of the Triangle's most sought-after communities--without the burden of an HOA. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,321 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home offers a warm and flowing layout that includes a cozy living room with fireplace, a sunny breakfast nook, and a separate dining room ideal for hosting. The interior features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout (installed in 2022), creating a seamless, modern look. Step outside to a spacious screened porch (10' x 15') and adjoining deck (8' x 16')--perfect for morning coffee or weekend entertaining. The private backyard is fully enclosed with 6-foot fencing and includes a landscaped fire pit, thriving vegetable garden, and ample room to enjoy the outdoors on the home's .21-acre lot. A 1-car garage, top-rated schools, and convenient access to shopping, dining, and entertainment round out this gem in a friendly, well-established neighborhood. Please note: the home has cats--kindly keep doors closed during showings and ensure they remain inside. The seller must have a lease back period after closing. Note, the price was recently adjusted--on purpose. After evaluating market activity over the weekend, we've strategically repositioned this home to offer exceptional value well below market comparables. It's a rare opportunity in this location.
