Set within Cary's desirable Silvercreek neighborhood, this inviting turn-key home pairs a thoughtful two-story layout with an exceptional collection of improvements and an enviable Triangle location. The 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers 2,168 square feet with high ceilings, hardwood floors, a welcoming foyer, formal dining room, living room, and a spacious family room with gas-log fireplace. The kitchen has been completely renovated with flush-mount LED lighting and new oven, dishwasher, and microwave, new cabinetry, counters, and herringbone tile. Both upstairs bathrooms have been beautifully renovated as well. Recent improvements throughout include newer roof, gas pack, water heater, furnace, heat pump and furnace coils, full interior paint, new upstairs carpet, updated lighting, ceiling fans, smart switches and thermostats, a smart front-door keypad, and new exterior entry fixtures. A newer two-tier deck overlooks the backyard and features an exceptionally large storage area beneath. The garage offers a new opener, rails and sensors, sealed floor, painted walls, and custom tool pegboard. Additional technology-focused features include CAT5 hardwiring, smart-home controls, roof-mounted HD antenna wiring, and living-room surround-sound infrastructure. Newer 4-inch gutters and downspouts, storm doors, and a deep professional cleaning further enhance the move-in-ready appeal. Three upstairs bedrooms plus a versatile bonus room provide space for an additional bedroom, a home office, media room, playroom, or hobby area. Optional swim-club membership and community tennis courts add recreational appeal, while nearby parks, greenways, Downtown Cary, Bond Park, Park West Village shopping and dining, and convenient access to Raleigh and RDU round out the lifestyle appeal.
East Cary, located between Downtown Cary and Walnut Street, is a residential and mixed-use Cary neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a rail-adjacent, small-town grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Academy Street and Chatham Street area, where patios, coffee counters, and local storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranches, updated cottages, and newer townhomes near the core. Bond Brothers Beer Company and The Cary Theater act as cultural anchors for evenings and weekends. The Downtown Cary Park adds a central green for concerts, play, and open-air lounging. Greenway links and pocket parks stitch the area into daily routines.
