Description

For buyers seeking walkability to downtown Cary without sacrificing privacy, this charming one-story cottage offers a rare combination of location, livability, and long-term stability in one of Cary's most in-demand areas. Unlike surrounding redevelopment properties, this home is not a teardown candidate due to creek and land restrictions, creating a unique opportunity to own in a high-growth corridor where neighboring parcels are being transformed into million-dollar homes, further pushing up neighborhood demand and desirability. Just a short walk to downtown Cary, parks, dining, and live events, the home is also tucked along a quiet, tree-lined creek corridor that feels peaceful and removed from the activity just minutes away. Set on a flat lot with a long private driveway and parking for up to five vehicles--a rare feature in this area--the property offers everyday convenience with a strong sense of privacy. The backyard is buffered by mature trees and a creek, with additional separation from the neighboring rear property, enhancing the quiet, natural setting. Inside, original hardwood floors, crown molding, and abundant natural light create warmth and character throughout. The layout lives larger than expected, with flexible space for everyday living, entertaining, or remote work. The updated kitchen and bathroom with LVP flooring provide modern functionality while preserving charm. A covered front porch offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, while the rear of the home provides a peaceful backdrop of birds, frogs, and wooded views--one of the most distinctive aspects of the property. Additional storage includes a backyard shed and attached storage room, offering flexibility for hobbies or future improvements (subject to buyer plans and approvals). This is an ideal opportunity for buyers who value walkability, privacy, and character over new construction scale, in a prime location where detached homes with this level of access are increasingly rare

We estimate this home will sell faster than 81% nearby.

"Not a ton of sidewalks but the streets are pretty low traffic. Lots of dogs so if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I would walk at least frequently traveled times. "
