About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to the heart of Cary on First Street! This exceptional, turnkey 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home offers 1,000 square feet of beautifully maintained living space, complemented by a full, finished basement. The basement is both an entertainer's delight and a homeowner's dream, featuring vinyl flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar, a pantry, dedicated laundry and storage rooms, and a full bath. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this property also includes a detached 4-car garage with parking for two cars and an additional 500 sq ft of versatile, converted space with its own entry, gas, and electrical - imagine the possibilities for a workshop, art studio, office, motorcycle storage, or any project you desire! Step out back to enjoy your private concrete patio, conveniently located between the house and garage and enclosed by a privacy fence. Inside, the home boasts a host of recent upgrades, including all new fixtures and updated electrical panels in 2024. The upper-level features Mohawk engineered hardwood flooring throughout, and the upstairs bathroom has a brand-new vanity installed in 2024. All windows have been replaced within the last two years (except for the kitchen's picture window), and four new doors have been installed: entry to the house (front and back), to the garage from the patio, and from the converted garage space to the side yard. All siding, soffits and facia replaced in 2024. All appliances in the home are new between 2020 and 2025 (excluding the dryer), and new blinds have been installed throughout. With a newer furnace and HVAC system (both from 2020), as well as a hot water heater from 2019, this property offers both style and peace of mind. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a truly special home in a prime Cary location close to the Metra, library, schools, dining, and more!
