About the property

Private Pool, Hot Tub and Screened Porch on Nearly 1 Acre

The backyard at 101 Springbrook Place reads like a private retreat: an in-ground pool with a motorized cover, adjoining hot tub and an expansive screened-in porch that overlooks almost an acre of level lawn — all tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Summerwinds. This traditional two-story delivers 2,915 square feet of comfortable living with a layout that supports both family life and entertaining.

Inside, original character blends with thoughtful updates. Wide stretches of hardwood run through main living areas; the kitchen and bathrooms have been modernized for everyday use; and a generous bonus room gives you flexible space for a home office, media room, or gym. The living room centers on a welcoming fireplace, and seasonal maintenance concerns are minimized with a roof replacement and new A/C units completed in 2023.

Practicality pairs with pleasure here: a two-car attached garage plus driveway parking, a crawl-space basement, and solid mechanicals make this house easy to own. On quiet evenings the screened porch becomes an extension of the living room, and summer days mean poolside gatherings and long views across the generous yard. The lot’s size — rare inside Cary’s loop — offers privacy, play areas, and room for garden beds or an expansion subject to zoning and permits.

Location is a major asset. Waverly Place’s boutiques and restaurants sit just blocks away (approximately 0.3 miles), WakeMed Cary Hospital is close for peace of mind, and cultural and outdoor options — Koka Booth Amphitheatre and Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve — are within a few miles. With strong local demand for single-family homes, recent updates, and the neighborhood’s family-friendly character, this property represents a balance of lifestyle and long-term value. Sellers and agents have positioned the home with comparable recent sales in Summerwinds that support the list price.

Buyers should verify lot lines, permits, and inspect systems in person; public records and the seller’s disclosures note owner occupancy since 2019 and routine upkeep. For families seeking space, entertainers craving outdoor living, or buyers wanting a turnkey Cary address with big lot benefits, 101 Springbrook Place is a compelling choice.

Editorial market perspective

Cary’s Summerwinds area currently sits in a competitive, slightly seller-leaning market driven by low inventory and steady demand for single-family homes. Recent neighborhood comps sold between $750,000 and $850,000 within the past six months, producing a local price-per-square-foot near $274 and supporting an estimated value band of $780K–$820K for properties with features comparable to 101 Springbrook Pl. Market-level indicators show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 35 — faster than many suburban submarkets — while year-over-year appreciation is modest (~5%) but five-year appreciation remains strong (~25%).

Single-family homes with larger lots and outdoor amenities (pool, screened porches) continue to outperform smaller-lot product in Cary because they offer usable private outdoor space that buyers prioritize post-pandemic. For buyers, limited inventory makes prompt, well-constructed offers more likely to succeed; for sellers, recently completed updates (roof, HVAC) materially reduce buyer objections and can tighten net marketing time. Price-per-square-foot benchmarks, inventory levels, and the property’s rare 0.95-acre footprint suggest this is an attractive time to transact if you value outdoor amenities and proximity to Waverly Place and local parks.
