Raleigh, NC 27606On the Cusp of Cary & Raleigh -- The Best of Both Worlds This stunning custom home by award-winning Amward Homes -- with over 60 years of local building expertise -- was under contract, and is now back on the market through no fault of the home. That's great news for you, because this opportunity offers something most listings simply can't: a completed pest and clear termite inspection, a clear radon test , a separate HVAC inspection, and a full home inspection with transparent disclosure of minor items. The due diligence work is already done. You walk in informed, protected, and ahead of the process -- potentially saving hundreds in inspections and avoiding surprises. Set on a sprawling 0.75-acre lot with a massive flat backyard bordered by private woods, this immaculately maintained five-year-old home feels better than new. Modern construction standards, fresh finishes, and none of the uncertainty of a brand-new build. You Really Can Have It All. The floor plan is exceptional. Choose between a main-level or second-level owner's suite, both with stunning views and a main level office -- a flexibility that adapts to any lifestyle. The open, modern layout flows effortlessly from the gourmet kitchen -- featuring floor-to-ceiling white cabinetry and a sprawling island -- into a warm family room with coffered ceilings and a custom-tiled fireplace. Entertain in the elegant dining room, linger over coffee in the sun-drenched breakfast nook overlooking your private backyard, or gather around the wet bar perfectly positioned between the living and dining areas. This north-facing home is flooded with natural light through oversized windows and double sliding doors leading to your covered deck and backyard. Outdoor Living at Its Finest. Step outside to a 12x20 covered back porch with a fireplace and an adjoining 20x22 open-air deck -- both finished in premium custom Trex decking -- set against a deep, flat, wooded backyard perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings by the fire. Space for Every Need. Upstairs, discover a second owner's suite, three generous bedrooms each with walk-in closets and private bathrooms, a bonus room, a flexible exercise and hobby room, and a newly finished recreation and game room with two large storage closets. A separate HVAC unit was installed in 2023, providing long-term efficiency and peace of mind. The oversized 3-car side-entry garage includes an electric vehicle charger, an extended driveway, and an extra parking pad for everyday convenience. A Location That Does the Work For You.
