This Greenwood Forest ranch announces itself first with scale: a generous 0.51-acre, largely wooded parcel that gives the house real separation from the street while remaining an easy half-mile walk to Downtown Cary. The 2,551 SF single-story plan was thoughtfully reworked during a 2022 renovation and shows the kind of practical upgrades that make daily life easier—new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, gas water heater and a sealed crawlspace—plus a commercial-grade metal roof added in 2025 for long-term peace of mind.
Inside, the home balances classic proportion and modern finishes. Refinished hardwoods flow through principal living spaces and into a formal living room and an adjacent sitting room anchored by a fireplace. The kitchen, remodeled in 2022, includes bar seating, a custom pantry and updated appliances; a nearby flex room off the kitchen works well as a home office, playroom, or casual family room. A spacious dining room sits ready for both weeknight meals and holiday gatherings.
Four bedrooms and 2.5 baths are arranged for flexibility: a primary suite opportunity on the main level and three additional bedrooms ideal for kids, guests or a second office. Practical touches—an oversized laundry/drop zone, modern lighting and plumbing fixtures, and LVP flooring where durability matters—underscore the move-in-ready condition. The home has no HOA, offering freedom to adapt the lot over time; zoning (R-12) supports accessory dwelling units for those considering an ADU project.
Outdoors, the yard is a standout: deep, tree-lined privacy with roughly 100 feet of Washington Street frontage, established landscaping, and a dedicated dog run already in place for pet owners. Driveway parking accommodates multiple vehicles. With walkability to Downtown Cary's restaurants, shops and cultural venues, easy access to Kildaire Farm Road and short drives to WakeMed Cary and Fred G. Bond Metro Park, this property pairs suburban space with urban convenience.
From a value perspective, recent comps in Greenwood Forest point to a $600K–$650K range; the property’s updates and lot size place it competitively within that band. Buyers seeking a comfortable primary residence with reduced near-term maintenance, or investors looking at solid rental demand, will find this renovated ranch a compelling option.
