Custom built by L & L of Raleigh, this exceptional 4,665-square-foot luxury residence is perfectly positioned in one of downtown Cary's most desirable locations with A+ walkability to parks, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Timeless four-side brick construction is complemented by Sierra Pacific SDL casement and fixed windows, creating striking curb appeal while filling the home with abundant natural light. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you inside, where hardwood flooring extends throughout the entire main level, staircase, and second-floor hallways. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz countertops, an oversized center island, a 48-inch Thermador professional range, and a built-in Thermador refrigerator. The adjoining scullery offers an additional prep sink overlooking a window, wall oven, microwave, generous storage, and space for a second refrigerator—perfect for effortless entertaining. The main-level study provides an ideal work-from-home retreat, while the luxurious primary suite showcases a tray ceiling and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, an expansive walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, and oversized walk-in closet. Upstairs, three spacious en suite bedrooms provide exceptional privacy, complemented by a recreation room with wet bar and an additional loft, creating multiple spaces for gathering and relaxation. An incredible 1,023 square feet of walk-in unfinished storage offers endless possibilities to finish in the future for additional living space and instant equity. Situated on a pool-ready homesite, this remarkable home combines thoughtful design, timeless architecture, and an unbeatable downtown Cary lifestyle.
Cary Town Center, located between Walnut Street and Maynard Road, is a retail and civic Cary neighborhood with an indoor mall footprint and a ring of big-box corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the former Cary Towne Center site along Walnut Street, where wide boulevards, parking fields, and redevelopment parcels set a transitional, in-motion feel. Nearby, Downtown Cary’s brick storefronts and small-lot blocks add a walkable counterpoint to the auto-oriented edges. Cary Arts Center and The Cary Theater anchor the cultural calendar with galleries, performances, and film. Bond Park’s trails and lake bring a green break from the commercial grid. Architecture shifts from mid-century ranch streets to newer mixed-use plans and contemporary infill.
