1000 Chimney Hill Drive
Apex, NC 27502Lovingly and meticulously maintained by its original owner, this home feels like a private escape tucked beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods. Nature surrounds you in every direction, offering rare privacy where neighbors fade from view yet you're just steps from the pool, playground, tennis courts, greenways, and the Eva Perry Library. A peaceful, 45 minute stroll brings you to the heart of Downtown Apex with shopping, dining and entertainment. Inside, the large family room invites connection and comfort, centered around a cozy fireplace and opening effortlessly to your own backyard sanctuary. The sunroom, filled with natural light from skylights above and wall-to-wall operable windows, offers a front row seat to the changing seasons. Sip your morning coffee, watch the birds, unwind after a long day, or create the perfect home office. The possibilities are truly plenteous. The main level flows beautifully, offering a flexible space for an office or formal dining, a welcoming breakfast room, and a kitchen with stainless appliances and abundant cabinet and counter space. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a vaulted ceiling, a spacious ensuite bath with a garden tub, sizable walk-in shower, and large walk-in closet. An oversized, sunlit secondary bedroom offers wonderful flexibility as a bonus room, while two additional bedrooms, a double vanity hall bath, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the second floor. A walk-up unfinished third floor invites your imagination - Future living space, studio, playroom, or simply use for ample storage. Outside, an oversized side-entry garage with overhead storage shelves, an expansive driveway with a parking pad large enough for a boat or RV (both are pre-approved by HOA), and a quiet cul-de-sac setting - all add to the functionality and privacy of this truly rare find. A 2019 roof and gutter guards, a 2025 main level HVAC system and a 2nd level HVAC unit and hot water heater that are less than 10 years old are just a few of the things that make this home a great investment. This is more than a home. It's a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy your secluded haven in the midst of a community that's rich with amenities.
