Charming and full of character, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod sits on a beautifully large, flat lot in Apex-offering the benefit of Wake County taxes only. The property extends past the left boundary, providing additional space to spread out, garden, or play. Outdoor living shines here with a fire pit gathering area, a wired storage shed, and a screened porch complete with a custom-built swing-perfect for relaxing evenings or weekend hosting. The private deck off the primary suite is ideal for enjoying your morning coffee, and motorized blackout shades add a thoughtful touch of comfort. Inside, a sun-drenched breakfast nook features built-in bench seating with hidden storage, while the kitchen is outfitted with classic stainless steel appliances. All bedrooms and full baths are conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs, a 372 square feet finished bonus area (unpermitted; completed by a previous owner and not included in the MLS living area) is served by a GREE mini-split system added in 2020-ideal for a home office, playroom, or hobby space. There's also an additional 453 square feet of walk-in attic storage with rough plumbing in place, offering exciting potential for future expansion. Located just minutes from I-540, this home offers seamless access to Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and nearby parks and greenways. A delightful blend of space, privacy, and everyday convenience-welcome home.
