About this home

Perfectly positioned just moments from the charm of downtown Cary and the vibrant dining, shopping and entertainment of Fenton, 542 Walnut Street is a beautifully crafted custom home that blends timeless architecture with sophisticated modern living. This home offers the ideal blend of elegance, comfort and convenience.

Inside, natural hardwood floors flow throughout the home, with custom millwork, and wainscoting creating a warm and timeless aesthetic. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and a spacious 3rd floor bonus room, offering exceptional flexibility for a media room, home office, fitness space, playroom, or sixth bedroom. A main-level guest suite with adjacent full bath provides ideal versatility for visitors, multigenerational living, or a private office.

At the heart of the home, is an impressive gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Anchored by a professional-grade 36" BlueStar range complemented by a sleek high-efficiency hood, premium stainless steel appliances, beautiful quartz countertops, and a generous workspace, this chef's kitchen is as functional as it is stunning. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living areas where the inviting family room serves as the centerpiece of the home, highlighted by a cozy fireplace, custom built-in bookcases, and expansive windows that bring the beauty of the surrounding landscape indoors.

Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite bath and an expansive walk-in closet. Well-proportioned secondary bedrooms, a conveniently located laundry room, and a versatile bonus room complete the upper level, offering spaces that adapt beautifully to modern lifestyles.

Step outside to your own private backyard oasis. Relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit beneath the stars, or enjoy quiet evenings on the patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped, fenced yard. Surrounded by mature trees for exceptional privacy, the expansive homesite also includes a cohesively appealing 8×12 shed for added storage.

Conveniently located near RTP, RDU Airport, and major commuter routes, this property also offers easy access to public transit. Ideally located within walking distance to downtown Cary and Fenton and just around the corner from Harris Teeter, restaurants, Cary Swim Club and Cary High School. * No HOA fees*.
