Contemporary 3BR Home on a Private .42‑Acre Wooded Lot
What stands out first at 213 King George Loop is the lot: a calm, wooded 0.42‑acre setting that feels much larger than its address suggests. This contemporary two‑story, built in 1987 and freshly refreshed in key areas, balances private outdoor living with easy access to Cary’s best amenities. A wide deck and screened porch step off the main level, both overlooking mature trees and a backyard that invites quiet afternoons and weekend gatherings.
Inside, maple hardwood floors run through the main living areas and anchor the home with warmth and character. The kitchen has been renovated with granite counters and stainless‑steel appliances; adjacent is an upgraded laundry with marble counters and room for organization. The layout supports everyday family life and entertaining — formal and casual spaces feel distinct but connected, and a fireplace provides a central focal point for the living room.
Three bedrooms and three full baths are arranged to give the primary suite privacy and storage, while thoughtful updates throughout reduce near‑term maintenance concerns. One of the home’s most practical features is a large 3‑car attached garage with high ceilings and an additional loft area—ideal for a workshop, storage, or hobby space. Systems are conventional: forced‑air gas heating and central AC, and the roof is an asphalt shingle system typical for the neighborhood.
Royal Ridge residents enjoy immediate proximity to Kildaire Farms Lake and the community greenway system, with optional membership available to the Kildaire Farms Swim & Racquet Club. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, WakeMed Cary, and Downtown Cary are all minutes away, making weekday errands and weekend plans straightforward. Highly rated local schools (Briarcliff Elementary, East Cary Middle, Cary High) add to the long‑term appeal for families.
From a value perspective, recent comparable sales on King George Loop and nearby streets support a market range of roughly $590K–$640K; assessor records and a sales‑comparison appraisal approach align closely with the middle of that range. For buyers seeking a well‑maintained contemporary home with meaningful outdoor privacy, abundant garage/storage space, and strong neighborhood amenities, 213 King George Loop is a compelling option. Schedule a tour to walk the lot, see the recent upgrades, and experience how the home sits within Royal Ridge’s quietly desirable canvas.

A factual market snapshot around 213 King George Loop.
The Cary market around Royal Ridge currently reads as mildly seller‑favored but essentially balanced. Inventory sits near 2.5 months — well below the six‑month equilibrium that denotes a fully balanced market — and homes in this area typically sell in about 44 days. Median sale price for the immediate market area is roughly $525,000, while comparable contemporary homes on King George Loop have closed in the mid‑$600,000s recently, reflecting the premium buyers place on lot size, interior updates, and garage capacity. Year‑over‑year appreciation locally is modest (about 5% in the last 12 months) with longer‑term gains near 25% over five years, signaling durable demand.
Single‑family homes in Royal Ridge tend to move faster than condos or rentals thanks to school quality, proximity to greenways and Kildaire Farms Lake, and strong buyer interest from professionals and families. Limited inventory and steady buyer activity make this a reasonable time for sellers; for buyers, competitively priced, updated homes like 213 King George Loop represent opportunities to secure desirable features (larger lots, three‑car garages, recent kitchen upgrades) without pushing into the highest tier of neighborhood pricing. Expect active interest and offers that reflect both condition and lot premium.
