About this home
* PRICE REDUCTION - Back on the market! * Welcome to 9208 Holly Springs Road — a rare slice of Apex where you get room to breathe AND room to build, tinker, and dream. Tucked behind your own remote-controlled gate on a private, wooded 1.0 acres, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home lives so much bigger than its footprint. Inside you'll find fresh paint in every room, engineered hardwood floors, and an oversized primary suite with a spa-worthy bath — huge soaker tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet. Step out back and this one really shines: a massive deck flows into a true backyard oasis with a gazebo, café lights, and tons of open, usable space to make your own — fire pit, garden, play area, you name it. But the showstopper? A HUGE detached shop/garage with attached carport — soaring ceilings (bring a lift!), 50-amp service to weld away, and wood-stove heat for year-round projects. Two more storage sheds (one wired for power) complete the ultimate maker's setup — and with NO HOA, it's all yours to use: bring the boat, the RV, and the trailer, and never ask permission. Peace of mind is built in: roof (2021), HVAC (2023), encapsulated crawl space, and a whole-home water system — softener, neutralizer, UV, sediment filters, and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. Best of all, a pre-listing inspection has already been completed and the items addressed, so you can make an offer with total confidence, plus a 1 year home warranty is included. Well & septic, on the Yates Mill / Dillard Drive / Middle Creek school lineup. And you're not sacrificing convenience for all that privacy — minutes to the new 540/Triangle Expressway, the YMCA, groceries, and dining. Homes with this much land, this much workshop, and this much freedom don't come along often in Apex. Come see it before it's gone!
East Cary, located between Downtown Cary and Walnut Street, is a residential and mixed-use Cary neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a rail-adjacent, small-town grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Academy Street and Chatham Street area, where patios, coffee counters, and local storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranches, updated cottages, and newer townhomes near the core. Bond Brothers Beer Company and The Cary Theater act as cultural anchors for evenings and weekends. The Downtown Cary Park adds a central green for concerts, play, and open-air lounging. Greenway links and pocket parks stitch the area into daily routines.
