Property Description

Big price reduction to help get buyers off the fence. When buyers say they want to be ''walkable to Downtown Cary,'' this is what they want. This charming mid-century, one-level ranch sits just two blocks from the Downtown Cary Park, the Cary Arts Center, and the brand-new public library, close enough to enjoy it all, yet tucked away from the noise and crowds. No HOA. No downtown headaches. Just an easy, connected lifestyle. Whether you roll or stroll, you can leave the car at home and still do it all: miles of greenway trails, pocket parks, boutique shops, a grocery store, the dog park, coffee, dinner out; everything is right at your doorstep. The elementary school is just down the street, with the high school close by as well, making day-to-day life feel simple and effortless. Inside, the home is truly move-in ready. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its mid-century character, it features real hardwood floors, a brand new primary bathroom, updated insulation, new gutters, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The carport includes a workshop, perfect for projects, storage, or hobbies. Even better, over $43,000 in preparation work has already been done, so you can move in and start enjoying the downtown lifestyle immediately. Refrigerator included. This is the kind of place that makes daily life easier, weekends better, and downtown living feel exactly the way people hope it would.
