Welcome Home! Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Apex's most charming established neighborhoods, this beautifully updated home is a rare find — where classic character meets modern charm with the updates and comfort you've been searching for. A few worthy mentions: new roof (2026), new luxury vinyl floors, Trane HVAC recently serviced, Pella vinyl windows and rear sliding door, concrete driveway, quartz countertops, and updated rear deck. From the moment you arrive, the fresh exterior, manicured landscaping, and welcoming front entry set the tone. Step inside and feel the difference: soaring natural light, warm luxury vinyl wood grain finished floors, and a thoughtfully open layout invite you to settle in and stay. The heart of the home is a show-stopping kitchen with views— completely reimagined with quartz countertops, modern white cabinetry with soft close drawers, a beautiful and extremely functional island, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and designer fixtures that make every meal feel like an occasion. The adjoining living and dining areas flow effortlessly, perfect for everything from quiet evenings in to lively gatherings with friends. The expansive living room boasts of an exquisite natural stone wood burning fireplace, recessed lighting and tons of natural light. The primary suite is your private retreat, featuring a walk in shower with sleek tile work, and the kind of finishes you'd expect in a higher end build. Did we mention the forth flex room, office, bonus room that could serve as an additional bedroom space when and if needed. Additional bedrooms are spacious, sun-filled, and versatile.
