Updated 3-Bed Traditional with Bonus Room & Community Pool
Welcome to Carpenter Village — an updated Traditional home that pairs everyday livability with neighborhood amenities. Inside, a two-story foyer opens to a formal living room centered around a gas fireplace and an elegant dining room trimmed with wainscoting. The main level shows freshly buffed hardwoods and fresh paint; the kitchen has been updated for modern function and flow while preserving classic sightlines to the dining and family spaces. A main-floor half bath adds convenience.
Upstairs, new carpeting runs through the hallway and secondary rooms. The primary suite is generous in scale and includes a soaking tub and a separate shower for a comfortable owner's retreat. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a large bonus room provides flexible square footage that can serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, playroom or media room.
The lot is easy to maintain — a private, fenced patio offers a quiet spot for morning coffee or grilling and the rear-entry two-car garage keeps the street-facing facade clean. Community lifestyle is a highlight here: residents enjoy a neighborhood pool, tennis courts and walking trails that make weekday exercise and weekend downtime effortless.
Practical systems include central air, natural gas heating, underground utilities, and public water and sewer. With recent cosmetic updates the home is essentially move-in ready. For buyers seeking a well-located family home in Cary with strong schools and convenient access to Triangle employment centers, this property presents a compelling combination of condition, size and lifestyle.

A factual market snapshot around 104 Ivy Tree Pl.
Cary remains one of the strongest suburban markets in the Raleigh–Durham–Cary MSA. Inventory has been tight in recent years and demand is focused on homes in good school zones with community amenities. Median prices in Cary are higher than county averages, and single-family homes in established subdivisions like Carpenter Village trade quickly when presented in move-in-ready condition. Expect buyer competition at or slightly above list price if marketed crisply and priced near comparable updated homes. For a buyer, this is a stable neighborhood purchase; for sellers, timing now captures continued buyer interest from families and professionals seeking proximity to RTP, downtown Cary and major commuting routes.
Likely low-density residential zoning consistent with single-family subdivisions (e.g., R-10/R-20 style zoning in Cary). Verify with Town of Cary for exact code.
