Tucked into a prime Southwest Cary/Apex location just minutes from everything, this charming home truly has it all - a large backyard, basement, and timeless character throughout. Crown molding, wainscoting, hardwood floors, and a cozy brick fireplace anchor the main living area. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for hosting gatherings. The eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, a pantry, and peaceful views of the park-like backyard - making everyday meals feel special. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the second floor. The basement bonus/flex space offers endless possibilities - playroom, home gym, or additional living area, with direct access to the backyard and the one-car garage. Step out from the living room onto the new deck (2025) overlooking a truly magical and massive fenced backyard. Complete with a playset, swings, and a built-in ground slide, this outdoor space is designed for adventure, imagination, and unforgettable gatherings. All of this within walking distance to the Kraft YMCA and just minutes to 540, shopping, and dining - offering the very best of Cary and Apex living in one incredible location.
