1017 Winwood Drive, Cary, NC 27511

Approachable and charming from the street with its old-time rocking chair front porch, this ranch with full basement is surprisingly large inside, with a backyard that is expansive and wonderful. Updated, renovated and remodeled just 7 years ago, the kitchen has a large, open footprint with custom shelving in the pantry and opens to a generous 14x16 deck overlooking the grassy backyard. The home's original primary bedroom is on the main level, of course, but the prior owners refinished the basement with a second primary suite with gorgeous bathroom, a fifth bedroom, a large laundry room / half bath, and rec/bonus space. It is really easy to imagine a kitchenette being added downstairs, in which case you'd essentially have two homes in one. But for now, it's all one incredibly flexible large home with a living room, kitchen, renovated hall bath and three bedrooms up and two more bedrooms plus bonus and laundry down. Could be ideal for an in-law situation, au pair, or taking on a spare roommate or two. With authentic wood siding and lovely refinished original hardwood floors on the main floor this home has the charm of an older home with the conveniences of newer. Very recent purchases: refrigerator, washer and dryer. The only carpet in the entire house is the fifth bedroom on the lower level. The large fenced yard has a shed and playset. The HVAC was replaced in 2022, water heater in 2017, and roof in 2015. Both Google and AT&T offer fiber service to this address.
