Bright, Three-Level 4BR Townhome with Finished Third Floor
This Church Street Townes residence stands out for its thoughtfully finished third floor — a permitted addition that creates a true third-level retreat for work, media, or a private owner’s suite. The three-level layout expands living options beyond a typical townhome and provides privacy for roommates, guests, or a home office. Across 2,070 square feet, the home blends practical updates with classic details: hardwood flooring on the main level, custom moldings, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a cozy fireplace for cooler evenings.
Enter on the main level to find an open living and dining arrangement anchored by hardwoods and bright, well-proportioned rooms. The kitchen’s granite counters and stainless appliances deliver everyday convenience while leaving room for personal upgrades. Upstairs you’ll find spacious bedrooms and baths configured for family life; the permitted third floor gives extra flexibility—ideal for a primary suite, studio, or playroom without sacrificing the footprint of the main living areas.
Outdoor maintenance is minimal — the small, level 0.04-acre lot and HOA-managed exterior make this a low-maintenance choice for busy professionals and growing families. A one-car attached garage plus driveway parking provide practical convenience on busy mornings. Built in 2008 and maintained in good condition, the home pairs turn-key living with the potential to personalize finishes over time.
Location is a meaningful advantage: the home sits within walking distance of Morrisville Community Library and the Morrisville Dog Park, with Research Triangle Park roughly 2 miles away and RDU International Airport about 3 miles — an easy commute for Triangle professionals. Top-rated Wake County schools (Cedar Fork Elementary, West Cary Middle, Panther Creek High) add long-term appeal for families. With steady neighborhood appreciation and a forthcoming Town Center nearby, this townhome offers immediate livability and longer-term value in one of Morrisville’s most in-demand pockets. Buyers should review HOA rules, verify roof/HVAC age, and complete a professional inspection as part of due diligence.

A factual market snapshot around 1116 Checkerberry Dr.
Morrisville’s market is balanced but tilted slightly in favor of sellers: inventory sits near 2.5 months and the average days on market hovers around 30 days. Median sale prices in the broader area are approximately $460,000, with one-year appreciation modestly positive (~5%) and five-year appreciation robust (~25%). For townhomes specifically, demand remains strong thanks to proximity to Research Triangle Park and RDU — many buyers prioritize low-maintenance, commuter-friendly product types. Recent local comps for Church Street Townes traded in the $400K–$450K range, supporting a valuation midpoint near $415,000 for this 2,070 SF, 4-bed unit.
These conditions make now a reasonable time for buyers seeking a long-term primary residence or an investor targeting stable rental demand (market rental estimates near $2,200/month). The short supply (low months of inventory) means well-priced, move-in-ready homes often sell within weeks. Sellers benefit from buyer competition; buyers benefit from historically steady appreciation and attractive financing in today’s environment. Always confirm local HOA rules, days-on-market trends for similar townhomes, and inspection findings before committing.
