908 Tanglewood Drive
Cary, NC 27511Unlock the Potential: Rarely do you find a canvas this expansive so close to the heart of Cary. Situated on a large, private lot just 1.2 miles from the award-winning Downtown Cary Park, this home offers the perfect blend of an old Cary neighborhood and accessibility to all Downtown Cary has to offer. While this property is a fixer-upper, its ''bones'' and generous layout provide a stellar foundation for a high-end transformation. Whether you are an investor or a homeowner with a vision, this is an opportunity to build significant equity in one of the Triangle's most sought-after locations. The upstairs features a spacious living area that flows seamlessly into the dining room - ideal for creating a modern, open-concept floor plan. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms provide room for all. The lower level offers room for a cozy time spent in front of the classic fireplace perfect for a media or game room. A sprawling, wooded lot provides a sense of privacy rarely found this close to downtown. Of note, there appear to be hardwoods under the upstairs carpet. A newer tankless water heater offers efficiency and endless hot water. Bring your contractor and your imagination - this diamond in the rough is ready to shine but is livable in its current condition!
