Welcome home! This beautiful townhome is nestled in Cary’s Twin Lakes neighborhood which was designed collaboratively by KB Homes and Martha Stewart Living. The influence of the Queen of Domestic Arts can be seen in the crown molding, airy rooms, beautiful cabinetry, and a floorplan that flows gracefully from the elegant front door to the spa-like primary en suite. A cozy front porch, perfect for socializing with neighbors on a weekend afternoon, invites you to step through the front door and into an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the day. The living room invites you to sit down and relax; in the winter months, the fireplace provides the perfect cozy atmosphere for cuddling under soft blankets and sipping hot cocoa. The kitchen’s large pass-through to the living room is perfect for game day or informal get-togethers, both for passing snacks and drinks to and fro and for the cook to be a part of the party, too.
The spacious kitchen has nearly everything a home chef could want: tons of counterspace, cabinet storage galore and an island workspace and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances—including a wall-mounted oven and microwave—and a sleek glass cooktop. Opening to the dining area, the kitchen makes preparing everything from Saturday morning pancakes to a four course dinner for a crowd a breeze. The airy dining room opens to a screened porch that overlooks a beautifully manicured back yard and tons of mature trees—the ideal space for morning coffee or late-afternoon iced tea.
Taking the stairs from the dining room to the second floor, the stairwell unfurls into a space that can easily and comfortably serve as a den, office, playroom, or home gym. At one end of this flex space sits a full bath and large secondary bedroom; at the other, the hall leading to the primary suite. The hall serves as a perfect laundry space with the laundry closet on one side and tons of cabinet storage, as well as a folding station, on the other. The hallway leads on to the primary bedroom which is filled with natural light and boasts separate closets, a tray ceiling, and a spa-like en suite. This bathroom—with its expansive counterspace, simply and beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and generously-sized soaking tub—can both accommodate busy morning routines and serve as a sanctuary as you wind down from the day.
This oasis is located within a short drive from almost all the amenities the Triangle has to offer. Golfers will enjoy Prestonwood Country Club’s close proximity—10 minutes away—and its three championship courses, all of which are ranked with in the top 100 courses in North Carolina. Those who want to enjoy the best flora each season has to offer can get to the North Carolina Botanical Garden in 22 minutes and to Sarah P. Duke Gardens in just under 20 minutes. Experienced art connoisseurs and fledgling aesthetes alike will appreciate that the North Carolina Museum of Art is accessible within 15 minutes.
Commuters will enjoy being within fifteen minutes of Research Triangle Park, and approximately 18 minutes from downtown Durham and Duke University. Downtown Raleigh, the State Capitol and—in the opposite direction—UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC hospitals are all within 25 minutes. The commute to North Carolina State University is just under 20 minutes. Frequent flyers, with Raleigh-Durham International Airport being 10 minutes down the road, will have just a bit less stress in their busy travel schedule.
The community offers so many ways to socialize with your neighbors and keep active. The Twin Lakes clubhouse is available to be rented to residents and holds community events—in the past, there have been events for Halloween, Labor Day, and Diwali, to name a few. With a tennis court, a sand volleyball court, and an enormous pool—which includes lap lanes, a splash and play space, and a giant, twisting waterslide—Twin Lakes is great for residents who like to play.
It’s more than just Twin Lakes, though. Sitting on the edge between Cary and Morrisville, Twin Lake’s residents also have easy access to a number of public parks and greenways, including Morrisville Community Park which is a short six-minute drive away and lists among its amenities: concrete chess/checkers tables, concrete cornhole boards, a large playground, an outdoor fitness area, and multipurpose, t-ball, baseball and softball fields. The 540-acre Lake Crabtree County Park, only 8 minutes away, offers interpretive exhibits, hiking trails, playgrounds, open play spaces, gardens and even fishing! Those who enjoy hiking have quick access to a number of beautiful greenways and trails; just 4 minutes away is Indian Creek Greenway and Trailhead which the city of Morrisville plans to extend. Looping around a two-part lake, Cary Park Lake Greenway is 11 minutes down the road and there are plans for its expansion too. The more than twenty-two miles of the American Tobacco Trail is also quick to access by way of White Oak Greenway, a short 10-minute drive.
