About the property

Custom 6-Bedroom Home on Quiet Cul-de-Sac in Sedgefield

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Sedgefield, this custom-built 2016 residence delivers more than scale—it's organized for family life and entertaining across three finished levels. At 5,338 square feet, the home opens onto formal and casual living areas that accommodate everyday routines and larger gatherings, while the finished basement creates private space for media, play, or a home gym.

The heart of the house is the chef’s kitchen, equipped with Bosch appliances and thoughtfully laid out for serious cooking and serving. Adjacent sightlines to informal dining and a screened porch with skylights make it easy to move meals and conversation outdoors without sacrificing weather protection. A fireplace anchors one of the main living rooms; efficient systems such as central AC and forced-air heating keep large spaces comfortable year-round.

Private zones are generous: six bedrooms and six full baths allow versatile arrangements for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. The primary suite and additional bedrooms provide scale and privacy; storage is bolstered by the three-car attached garage and basement areas. Construction details—asphalt shingle roof, wood-frame build, and well-maintained finishes—reflect the home’s excellent condition.

Beyond the property lines, you’ll appreciate the Sedgefield location: quick access to Research Triangle Park, Parkside Town Commons and medical centers, plus neighborhood outdoor options like Thomas Brooks Park. The home’s footprint and recent comparable sales in the immediate area support the strong valuation for this market segment, making this an attractive choice for buyers seeking space, quality, and proximity to top-rated schools.

This is a turnkey opportunity for families or buyers who want a custom, low-maintenance residence with flexible living areas and a finished lower level.

Editorial market perspective

Cary’s Sedgefield neighborhood is operating in a seller-favored environment right now. Inventory hovers around 2.5 months—below a neutral six-month supply—while average days on market sits near 30 days, indicating brisk movement for well-priced single-family homes. Local median sale prices for comparable luxury homes run around $1.2M, with recent nearby closings in the $1.3M–$1.6M range; price appreciation has been +5% year-over-year and roughly +25% over five years. Single-family homes with finished basements and upscale kitchens remain in particular demand among families and relocating professionals tied to Research Triangle Park.

For buyers, that means competition is likely for well-presented, turnkey homes; for sellers, it supports pricing confidence when aligning to recent comparable sales. This property’s 5,338 sqft, three-car garage, and high-rated school access position it competitively. Investors should note a projected monthly rent around $5,000 and a gross rental yield near 4.3%, reflecting consistent rental demand but also the property’s strongest role as a long-term owner-occupied asset. Given limited supply, buyers who move decisively—and prepare financing—will have the best chance in this market.
