About the property

Three-Story Townhome with Two Balconies Near Downtown Cary

This three-story townhome delivers smartly designed living just a half-mile from Downtown Cary's restaurants and shops. Built in 2011 and offering roughly 1,900 square feet, 763 Samuel Cary Dr stands out with two private balconies and well-maintained finishes — hardwood floors on primary levels, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy fireplace that anchors the main living area. The attached single-car garage and level lot make arrival and everyday routines effortless.

Enter on the main level into a living space sized for entertaining and everyday life. The kitchen's granite counters and stainless appliances sit adjacent to formal dining or an oversized breakfast nook; sliding doors open to one of the balconies for quick outdoor meals or coffee. Up a short flight, the secondary bedrooms and bathrooms offer privacy and practical storage. The primary suite occupies its own level with abundant closet space and an en-suite bathroom, plus a second balcony that provides a quiet spot to unwind.

Owners will appreciate practical systems — central AC, forced-air heating, and a shingle roof — and the property's tidy, move-in-ready presentation. The compact lot and attached one-car garage translate to lower exterior maintenance while still delivering outdoor breathing room on the balconies. Recent comparable sales in the immediate neighborhood support the current list price of $429,900, a competitive entry point for buyers seeking downtown proximity and quality finishes in Cary.

Beyond the house, the location is a core draw: Downtown Cary's walkable corridors of shops and eateries are minutes away, WakeMed Cary Hospital and Cary Towne shopping are nearby, and Fred G. Bond Metro Park sits within a short drive for larger green-space outings. Families will note highly rated schools — Turner Creek Elementary, Salem Middle, and Cary High — that contribute to the area's sustained demand. Prospective buyers should verify HOA policies and fees as part of their due diligence; otherwise this home is positioned as a low-maintenance, contemporary option for professionals, small families, or investors seeking strong rental prospects.

Editorial market perspective

Cary's current market reads as balanced but active: inventory sits near 2.5 months and homes average roughly 30 days on market, indicating steady buyer interest without extreme bidding pressure. Median sale price across the area is about $500,000, with one-year appreciation modest at 5% and five-year appreciation near 25%. For townhomes specifically, recent nearby comps range widely — from $236K in older sales to a $465K sale in 2025 — reflecting upgrades and unit condition as primary drivers of value. This property, listed at $429,900 (~$226/SF), aligns with recent higher-end townhome sales while offering modern finishes and immediate walkability to downtown.

Buyers: the low inventory and solid school ratings make this an attractive entry into Cary, especially for those prioritizing location and rental upside. Investors: rental estimates average about $2,100/month in the sub-market (rent per SF ~ $1.10–1.11), supporting solid gross yields. Sellers: well-presented townhomes continue to move quickly when priced competitively. Given the balanced market and quick turnover, now is a reasonable time to consider offers—particularly if inspections validate condition and HOA terms are favorable.
