1.02 acres in Wake County, NC

Located in the South Lake neighborhood of Apex, this property features a rare and private 1.02-acre lot. Positioned on a quiet street with no HOA or City taxes, the home offers a serene wooded setting just minutes from Crowder Park and the 540 bypass. This prime location provides immediate access to shopping and dining in Cary and the surrounding Triangle area. Imagine pulling into your private, circular driveway and feeling the world quiet down. This home sits on a rare and expansive lot, a true sanctuary where the canopy of mature hardwood trees creates a sense of immediate calm. It's the kind of space that is becoming increasingly hard to find--a sprawling, green canvas that offers you the freedom of a full acre without the restrictions of an HOA. From the moment you step onto the rocking-chair front porch, you'll feel the warmth of a home designed for comfort. Inside, sunlight pours through updated Anderson windows, highlighting the fresh LVP flooring and crisp, freshly painted walls and trim. The kitchen was made for the home chef who appreciates a view, featuring new countertops and a picture window that frames your vast, wooded backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room flows seamlessly, anchored by a cozy fireplace that invites you to relax. Retreat to the primary suite, where cathedral ceilings add an airy elegance and the ensuite bath offers a completely remodeled (2025) spa-like experience. Because the main floor also hosts two additional guest rooms and a second full bath on the main level, the layout provides effortless accessibility and comfort. The true versatility of this home lies downstairs in the finished walk-out basement. This level, along with the garage, stays perfectly comfortable year-round thanks to a dedicated mini-split HVAC system. With a wet bar and full bath, the basement is an ideal game room or private guest wing. Outdoor living is effortless here. Choose between the large screened-in porch, the spacious deck, or the paver patio for evenings under the stars. The backyard is fully fenced, offering a secure space for gardening or play while maintaining total privacy. With a 2019 metal roof, updated main-floor HVAC (2020), and a newer water heater (2021), every practical detail has been addressed so you can simply move in and enjoy the peace of your own private woods.
