Welcome to a home where Southern charm, thoughtful design and a standout West Cary location come together. Set far from busy roads, between a low-traffic neighborhood street and a quiet rear alley in the heart of Carpenter Village, this custom 4-bedroom home greets you with mature landscaping and a classic double front porch. You arrive up a brick stairwell beneath a sheltering canopy of tall crepe myrtle trees—an entrance that immediately feels warm and welcoming. An inviting, high-ceilinged foyer is flanked by two sets of fifteen-pane French doors. To your left is a richly designed study, library, dining room or office with a dramatic decorative fireplace, custom lighting, more than a dozen hidden compartments and expansive hand-painted faux cherry shelving and cabinets that can hold 800+ books or collections of any kind. Across the foyer is a versatile office, living room or flex space. A hallway with a half-bath leads into the heart of the home: a spacious, light-filled open-concept living area. On your right, a large sunlit family room features built-in cabinets and shelving flanking a wide Georgian-styled gas fireplace with white marble accents. Large windows and a glass-paned doorway give views of the back yard from a dining area which flows seamlessly into the kitchen. Built for daily life and entertaining, the kitchen in this home features quartz counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, warm cabinetry, a pantry closet with ample shelving and a butler's pantry with sink. Ten-foot ceilings, crown molding and hardwood floors run through the main living spaces. The second floor owner's suite features a spacious bedroom with a high ceiling framed in crown molding. A short hall between his-and-hers walk-in closets lead to a bath with dual vanities, garden tub, separate shower and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms with built-in closets, a full bath and a dedicated laundry room with utility sink complete this level. Then discover the home's hidden gem: an impressive third-floor retreat featuring a huge recreation room and office or hobby area. Whether envisioned as a home theater, game room, fitness space, creative studio, guest area or work-from-home haven, this flexible level gives you room to live exactly the way you want. Custom exposed ceiling beams built with wood reclaimed from a local 100-year-old barn add character and include hidden shelving at the back. Eave-access doors on the second and third floors and a massive attic with built-in shelving deliver exceptional storage. The insulated two-car garage is conveniently tucked into the back of the home and has room for vehicles, tools and project space. Beyond the interior, the front porch and balcony enable you two levels to relax while watching the sun fall behind neighboring homes or looking down the street toward the 22-acre scenic lake. A screened porch at the back of the home invites you to slow down and enjoy private, peaceful views of the beautifully landscaped backyard and nearby common area. Life in Carpenter Village means more than a beautiful home—it means living in a master-planned, walkable neighborhood of tree-lined streets showcasing a blend of rural heritage with modern amenities. Enjoy the community pool, paved walking and biking paths around the lake and wooded common areas, gazebos, tennis courts, a volleyball court and multiple playgrounds all near the quiet of your own residential retreat. Groceries are a walk or bike ride away; shopping, dining, the West Cary Library, highly ranked West Cary schools, Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport are minutes from the door. A rare opportunity to enjoy comfort, privacy and prime living in Cary, North Carolina, an area which ranks highly for overall livability, being named the best place to live in North Carolina by U.S. News.
