Timeless Cary Retreat On Birkhaven Drive Delivering Classic Comfort And Forward Looking Living

Discover an executive Parade of Homes estate in Cary’s prestigious Lochmere Birkhaven golf community, set on a secluded .62-acre lot with a full 1-year Old Republic home warranty included. A long, private driveway crosses a tranquil creek and mature trees, leading to a beautifully landscaped yard with full irrigation and a stately brick-front residence. The oversized 751 sq. ft. three-car garage, generous parking pad, and classic brick walkways underscore the home’s enduring craftsmanship.

Step into a dramatic two-story foyer with iron balusters and hardwoods that set the tone for this multi-generational layout. The gourmet kitchen features a large island, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters, flowing seamlessly into a spacious family room with a marble fireplace and a breakfast nook overlooking the wooded backyard retreat. A rare electric dumbwaiter effortlessly moves items from the garage to the kitchen, enhancing your living experience.
