About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to this well maintained 3-story transitional masterpiece, nestled on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot in Cary's coveted Preston Forest. With a thoughtfully designed living space, this home offers an exceptional blend of classic functionality and modern open living concepts. The layout of the first floor provides space for everyday living, from its kitchen with s/s appliances and granite countertops, the family focused living room with built-ins, a gas fireplace, and large wall of windows, and two separate rooms for dining and a study/office. The 2nd story includes a large bonus room, separate laundry room with sink and counter space and storage, a spacious bedroom with an attached full bathroom, 2 bedrooms with generously sized closets and a shared bathroom with shower and double vanity, and the master bedroom suite with large walk-in closet, sitting space, and master bathroom with double vanity, oversized tiled walk-in shower and whirlpool tub. The finished 3rd floor has ample living space, a finished full bathroom, and includes a spacious cedar closet and an additional storage room. The 3rd floor is a fantastic space to act as a media/entertainment room, or a nice private suite for guests to stay. The first floor sun room with wall to wall windows provides a seamless flow between the indoor living space and an exceptional outdoor entertaining zone with an oversized deck, grill with a natural gas hookup, a private garden with flex space, and a screened gazebo wired for electric. This is a rare opportunity to own a home within Preston Forest that integrates a timeless elegance, expansive space, and classic finishes with a floor plan tailored for effortless entertaining, and cozy everyday living.
