Painstakingly crafted by Rufty Homes, this kind of opportunity knocks precisely once in a generation. Still in the loving care of its original owners, this all-brick beauty sits on two carefully manicured, landscaped acres in the estates section of Cary's beautiful MacGregor West at the end of a quiet, flat cul-de-sac. This home captivates from one's arrival at the gracious and long semi-circle drive in front all the way to its wonderful octagonal screened gazebo in back. The backyard is large, flat, exceptionally private and surrounded by tall, lush trees. The traditional styling is honored here with high ceilings, heavy mouldings, lovely wainscoting, impressive windows, masonry fireplaces, generous built-ins, a large formal living room, central family room, handsome home office/library and tray ceiling in the primary bedroom. The uncommonly large chef's kitchen with Thermador appliances and large Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer is connected to the brick-floor beadboard-ceiling gazebo through the breakfast area. Overlooking the marble entry foyer, the second floor is home to five well-appointed bedrooms (every one with en suite bathrooms) including the oversized primary bedroom with its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets and recently renovated bathroom with Victoria + Albert soaking tub and Hansgrohe shower. A bonus recreation / tv room sits at the end of hallway, where it has a separate back stairway down to the kitchen and a connected nifty crafting / hobby room. The unfinished attic is enormous and was planned to accommodate future dormers and further finished expansion if desired. The three-car garage has a work sink and large storage cabinets and the laundry room is large enough to accommodate an additional full-size refrigerator (and a laundry chute). Downstairs, there's an enormous heated and cooled daylight woodworking workshop and a finished fitness/rec/office room. The property backs up to nine acres of unspoiled wooded Town of Cary buffer land and the 160-acre Community Park is just a very short walk away (enter at 1808 Lake Pine Dr), with its 3 miles of developed nature and fitness trails, pickleball and tennis courts, playground and 50-acre lake. Dreams have been made in this home for its first 32 years. We think the next owner will likely own it another 32. This home is pristine in its upkeep and has been fastidiously upgraded, updated and improved over all its years.
