A RARE FIND! Don't let this one get away. Located in West Cary's sought-after Brookstone neighborhood, this transitional executive home is move-in ready. New paint and carpet. Tankless water heater. Gas range. All new Roman shades grace the windows. Updated light fixtures. Great curb appeal with brick front and mature landscaping. Almost one-third acre lot on quiet cul-de-sac street. Two-car attached garage. The home is light and bright with loads of windows and recessed lighting. Its awesome floorplan has all the spaces you'll need. Architecturally interesting, the huge family room has arched openings to the kitchen. The breakfast room has a Palladian window overlooking the verdant backyard, a bird-watchers' delight! The large deck has the builder's signature sunburst-spindle design. A soaring two-story foyer greets you and your guests with a stunning arched window, new contemporary light fixture, and beautifully-crafted staircase. The foyer is flanked by a formal dining room and a living room/flex room. Lovely arches delineate the space. The family room has a see-through gas fireplace which it shares with the office. Foyer, office, and powder room have hardwood flooring. The kitchen and laundry room have tile. An office/study is tucked away and features a wall of custom wooden built-ins, and etched glass doors to the main living area. A convenient butler's pantry is situated between the family and dining rooms. The oversized kitchen has five-burner gas range and a central island with prep sink. Laundry/mud room is large and gives access from the garage to the kitchen and is a great hideaway for your drop-zone items. The large bonus room on the second floor has California-style built-ins and direct access to a bathroom. There is a large walk-in attic accessed from the bonus room. The primary suite has a large bedroom with trey ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a spacious bath featuring cabinets galore, a large soaking tub, separate shower, and separate water closet. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor. All are generously-sized, and each has direct access to a bathroom. Be sure to check out the crawl space. It is sealed and is conditioned. The neighborhood has a fantastic pool with swim team, playground, and seasonal activities for all ages. Enjoy all that Cary has to offer. There is easy access for hiking and biking on over 50 miles of Town of Cary-maintained Greenways. The nearby White Oak Greenway extends to the American Tobacco Trail to the west, and to Cary's Bond Park to the east with connections to Black Creek and other trails. Or visit the nearby city park with playground and sports courts. B. Everett Jordan Lake is a short drive and features boating, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking. Cary's vibrant downtown dining and entertainment district is 15 minutes away including the award-winning downtown park. Brookstone is an easy commute via NC55, NC540, and US64 to the many major employers in RTP, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, and Chatham County. The Raleigh-Durham International Airport is less than 20 miles away.
