1296 Barn Cat Way, Apex, NC 27502

This three-story townhome on Barn Cat Way stands out for practical living and everyday convenience: multiple private balconies, generous ceiling heights, and a two-car attached garage make daily life effortless. Built in 2020 and laid out across 2,378 finished square feet, the home presents four bedrooms and 3.5 baths with an open, modern sensibility — hardwood floors on the main levels, solid-surface counters in the kitchen, and stainless-steel appliances that meet the demands of busy households.

Enter on the main level to a bright, expansive living area that transitions to a well-appointed kitchen. Counters of granite and contemporary cabinetry frame a functional work triangle; the breakfast bar and adjacent dining area are perfectly scaled for weekday routines and casual entertaining. Multiple balconies off the living spaces and upper bedrooms extend the footprint outdoors — small vignettes for morning coffee, an evening read, or container gardening.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers privacy and a well-sized bath while two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexibility for a home office, gym, or guest quarters. A third level includes a fourth bedroom and additional living/storage options, giving families multiple places to spread out. The home’s excellent condition reflects modern construction and thoughtful finish selections throughout.
