About this home
Turn onto Glensford Way, a quiet cul-de-sac in Canterbury of MacArthur Park, and you'll feel it right away: this is a street where homes are loved and neighbors know each other. This storybook cottage on the corner has been cared for by the same owners since 2013. Step through the vine-covered gate in the picket fence into a backyard that feels like a secret garden: a salt-water pool, easy-care turf, a shade garden, mature landscaping, room for a vegetable garden, and a large, shaded deck with a covered area and a cabana that conveys. Inside, the eat-in kitchen offers pickled cabinetry, granite, a large pantry and a corner sink overlooking the yard. It opens to a sunny family room that runs front to back, with a wood-burning fireplace and a flush hearth. A foyer, a dining room with chandelier and recessed lighting, a powder room and a chinoiserie accent wall at the laundry complete the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a renovated bath with dual vanity, tub, separate shower and private water closet. Every bathroom in this home has been renovated and the sellers have attended to the roof, windows, replaced the deck, and freshly epoxied the 2-car garage with workshop space. A few blocks away is an entry to the White Oak Greenway - one way to Bond Park and the other direction takes you to the American Tobacco Trail. Fresh Market, Cornerstone Shopping Center, Preston Corners and La Farm Bakery are all within a five minute drive. An easy commute to RTP, RDU, downtown Cary, Apex and Durham. Canterbury in Cary really is the center of everything! Sellers are offering furnishings for sale, and a full list is available in MLS documents.
