Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Apex, this beautifully crafted home offers a rare blend of timeless design, custom woodwork, and a private wooded setting with no rear neighbors. From the moment you arrive, the wrap-around porch and side-load garage set the tone for a home that stands apart from today's builder-grade options. Inside, you'll find rich architectural detail throughout--extensive custom cabinetry, built-ins, and a chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features high-end appliances, abundant storage, and a warm, inviting feel that flows seamlessly into the main living areas filled with natural light. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms and a versatile layout provide flexibility for today's lifestyle, while the finished third floor with full bath offers the perfect space for a bonus room, guest suite, or home office. Step outside to your private outdoor retreat, where newly built decking (2023) sets the stage for weekend barbecues, sunset dinners, and relaxing evenings under the Carolina sky. The updated irrigation system keeps the grounds lush and vibrant, enhancing the overall sense of serenity and care. This home offers not only beauty but peace of mind, with major system upgrades including a new roof (2020), new Trane heat pump, and new expansion tank (2024). The encapsulated crawl space adds an additional layer of efficiency and long-term durability--details that truly set this home apart. Perfectly positioned near Cary, Holly Springs, and NC-540, you'll enjoy the ideal blend of convenience and community, with easy access to shopping, dining, and commuting while still coming home to a peaceful neighborhood setting. With over 3,500 square feet, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a setting that's increasingly hard to find, this home offers a compelling alternative to new construction in one of Apex's most desirable locations.
