About the property

Custom 3-Bed Transitional Home with Main-Level Primary & Two-Story Living

This Charlie Barnes–built Transitional home delivers thoughtful living across nearly 2,900 square feet with a rare combination: a main-level primary suite for one-floor convenience and expansive upstairs living for guests, kids or a home office. Enter through a generous foyer into a soaring two-story living room centered on a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows — a dramatic architectural moment framed by hardwood floors and clean millwork. The adjacent kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry, granite counters, tasteful tile backsplash with trim detail and a layout that opens directly to the sunroom and large deck for effortless indoor/outdoor entertaining.

The main-level primary bedroom is privately sited and offers easy access to the living areas. Practical finishes include ceramic tile in baths and laundry, a roomy walk-in laundry room, and abundant closet/attic storage — the large walk-in attic is a standout for seasonal storage or hobby gear. Upstairs you'll find two large bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room that can serve as a media room, playroom or home office. The yards are private and easy to maintain, with a sizeable deck for grilling and a quiet backyard for kids and pets.

Mechanicals are modern and practical: zoned HVAC with central air and gas heat, natural gas service, and public water/sewer. The home sits in a mature Cary neighborhood convenient to Kildaire Farm Road corridors, shopping and dining, and is approximately 10 minutes to downtown Apex and 15 minutes to downtown Cary — an ideal balance of suburban calm and regional access.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a move-in-ready, custom-built home that caters to multigenerational or flexible living. Schedule a private showing with the listing agent, George Wilson (919-439-0965), and verify HOA/yard maintenance details as part of your due diligence.

Editorial market perspective

Cary's west-side neighborhoods remain in high demand for quality single-family homes, especially those offering main-level primary suites and flexible upstairs space. Inventory in 27518 has been relatively tight compared with broader Wake County; well-maintained homes in the $700k–$850k band sell quickly when priced and presented correctly. Median sale prices in nearby Cary markets have been rising modestly year-over-year (~5–7%) with average days on market under a month for desirable listings. This home’s combination of size (2,900 SF), condition, and location near Apex/Cary amenities positions it well for buyer interest; pricing at $799,990 is competitive provided local comps support the $270–$290/SF range. Buyers should move swiftly in a limited-inventory environment, while sellers should leverage targeted marketing to families and downsizers.
