About This Home

Previously featured in the Parade of Homes, this immaculate, meticulously maintained home offers a 10-minute WALK to the shops, bars and restaurants of charming downtown Apex. The living room, dining area and kitchen flow together seamlessly and provide lovely views of the extensively landscaped backyard. A wood-burning fireplace centers the living room. The light oak hardwood floors lend a clean, modern look. The kitchen cabinets have been freshly painted. Top-quality windows, installed in 2019, provide abundant natural light (and a transferable lifetime warranty). The house has smooth ceilings and the same neutral wall color throughout. The generously-sized master bedroom comfortably fits a king-size bed, with plenty of room for a reading chair and other furniture. The master bath has a jetted tub, a separate shower, and dual-sink vanity. The bonus room presents many options: Playroom, home theater, workout room, home office, etc. The lot has been lovingly landscaped with easy-care perennials (see photos), including many native pollinator plants. The low brick wall around the front bed at the left side of the house was constructed with hundred year old reclaimed brick from a courthouse in Rich Square, North Carolina. It provides an interesting visual element as well as a nod to North Carolina history...In the fenced backyard,, a shaded pergola makes the recently painted deck perfect for entertaining. The house has a two-car garage. Surrey Meadows is an established neighborhood served by excellent Apex schools. Nearby Seagroves Farm Park offers ample space for exercising, fishing, bird-watching and meeting up with friends and neighbors. Vibrant downtown Apex is home to many local businesses and holds dozens of events throughout the year.
