A private forest retreat in Apex — welcome to 2117 Bee Cave Court. At 4, 247 square feet on a .34-acre cul-de-sac lot, this home backs to 3.66 acres of Fairview Park HOA forest. From the kitchen, the family room, the screened porch, and especially from the tiered patio, fire pit, and pergola below, it feels like a private retreat — while being minutes from everything. That feeling starts at the curb, where extensive professional landscaping and double mahogany front doors set the tone before you step inside. A first floor built for the way you actually live. Engineered hardwood flows through the foyer, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, and family room. The gourmet kitchen is flanked by cabinetry filling the kitchen and breakfast room and delivers everything a serious cook wants — a gas cooktop, upgraded vent hood, built-in oven and microwave, and a full suite of stainless appliances, all included (even the matching stainless refrigerator). A large pantry sits just off the mudroom. The family room anchors the back of the home with built-ins, a gas log fireplace, and a full-wall slider that opens completely onto the screened porch — erasing the line between inside and out. A flexible first-floor room, fully wired for surround sound, works equally well as an office, TV room, or guest suite. A second floor designed for real life — space and privacy for everyone. Four large bedrooms spread out so each person gets their own retreat. The primary suite spans the back of the home with a bath to match — dual vanities, water closet, soaking tub, tiled shower, and a built-in closet with direct access to the laundry room. A second bedroom functions as a true second primary, with its own en suite ceramic tile bath and walk-in closet. The two front bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack and Jill bath, each with a dedicated sink and walk-in closet. The laundry room deserves its own mention — it's genuinely huge, with built-in cabinets, drying hanging racks, and a high-end set of LG appliances left for you. The third floor is where this home separates itself. A dedicated office, full bath, and a media room built for the experience — full-wall professional projection screen, smart blackout curtains, and projector and surround sound wiring already in place. Movie nights have a permanent address. Then there's the backyard. Stairs from the screened porch lead down through professional landscaping to a tiered patio designed for entertaining at every level — an upper tier sized for living and dining, a masonry built-in fire pit anchoring the lower patio, and a pergola with additional seating beyond. Professional landscape lighting illuminates the patios, mature trees, and front walkway — as striking at night as it is during the day. Private. Polished. One of a kind in Apex.
