About the property

Traditional 4-Bedroom Cary Home on Large Corner Lot

You’ll notice the corner-lot curb appeal the moment you pull onto Greenwood Circle: an expansive, level 0.34-acre yard framed by mature plantings, a gorgeous holly tree, and beds of liriope that give way to 250 Amsterdam tulips poised to bloom each spring. This classic 1985 traditional home offers 2,612 square feet across two light-filled stories, with practical updates and thoughtful spaces that suit busy family life.

Step inside to warm hardwood floors on the first level, two inviting fireplaces (one in the family room and a surprising, cozy fireplace in the primary suite), and fresh carpet where appropriate. The living areas are comfortable and well-proportioned—perfect for weekday living and weekend gatherings—while storage is plentiful, including the detached two-car garage with upstairs storage and a driveway that accommodates additional vehicles.

The primary bathroom is a standout: a recent Italian-inspired renovation introduces luminous tile, a walk-in shower with multiple showerheads, dual vanities, LED mirrors with integrated storage, and a bidet—details that elevate everyday routines. Overall the home feels well-maintained and move-in ready, with updated surfaces and systems that reduce near-term maintenance risk.

Outdoor living is a defining feature here. The large, fenced backyard opens to a generous deck, a built-in firepit with seating, a spa for relaxing evenings, and a storage shed—an ideal set-up for alfresco dinners, backyard play, or quiet nature watching at the tree line. With Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve about a mile away and Koka Booth Amphitheatre and Downtown Cary just minutes from your door, you get the best of suburban privacy and quick access to local destinations.

Maynard Oaks brings a stable, family-friendly atmosphere to everyday life: above-average nearby schools, well-kept yards, and easy commutes via Kildaire Farm Road. For buyers who value space, storage, and tasteful upgrades—plus a yard that feels like a small private park—404 Greenwood Circle is a compelling, well-priced option in a market where inventory is tight and quality homes move quickly.

Editorial market perspective

The Cary market is favoring sellers right now. Inventory in the area averages roughly 2.5 months, and homes typically spend about 30 days on market before going under contract—conditions that frequently generate multiple-offer scenarios for well-priced, well-presented single-family homes. Median sale prices in the immediate area sit near $550,000, with recent comparable sales in Maynard Oaks clustering between $580,000 and $620,000. Using those comps, this property’s valuation midpoint is approximately $600,000 (about $229 per square foot). Single-family homes in this price band continue to outperform condos and lower-priced segments due to steady family demand and limited turnover.

For investors, rental comparables show monthly rents around $2,400–$2,600 for similar nearby homes, suggesting a gross rental yield in the neighborhood near 4–5% depending on financing and operating costs. Given the 1-year appreciation trend (~5%) and longer-term gains (~25% over 5 years), this is a market where timing matters: buyers who are ready to move quickly will find better opportunities than those who wait for inventory to expand. That said, confirm roof and systems condition and zoning setbacks (corner-lot rules) during due diligence.
