Take a virtual tour116 Birklands Drive
Cary, NC 27518Tucked quietly among the trees at the end of a cul-de-sac in sought-after Birkhaven, 116 Birklands offers a rare combination of privacy, architecture, and connection to nature that's increasingly hard to find. This contemporary home, defined by its cedar-shake roof and timeless design, feels like a true retreat while remaining seamlessly connected to everything the area has to offer. Set on a private homesite with direct access to the greenway trail and seasonal views of the golf course, the setting invites a lifestyle that blends indoor comfort with outdoor experience. Inside, the home lives with intention - open yet grounded, with natural light filtering through the trees. A main-floor primary suite offers ease and long-term livability, while the home's flow naturally extends to an expansive deck and a sunroom that feels immersed in the landscape with spaces designed as much for quiet mornings as for gathering. The rear of the home is where it all comes together... expansive windows frame a serene, wooded backdrop of the Carolinian hardwood forest, creating a sense of calm that's hard to replicate and even harder to leave. While the setting feels tucked away, everyday conveniences are just minutes away, and access to the Lochmere community amenities, multiple pools, tennis courts, and established recreational spaces, adds another layer to the lifestyle this home offers. It's the kind of home that evolves with you, equally suited for quiet moments, active days, or hosting with ease. Opportunities like this are rare: a forever home in a location where privacy, design, and accessibility come together in a way that simply can't be replicated... ready for its next chapter, which you don't want to miss.
