Rarely does an end-unit townhome come to market with this level of investment behind it. Over $70,000 in recent upgrades have transformed 2,012 square feet in The Meadows at Olde Carpenter into something that simply feels newer, brighter and more livable than many other townhouse properties in its price range. End unit, sunroom addition, and windows that look straight into the trees. Any one of those is uncommon in a townhome. This one has all three.

The two upgrades you notice first are the kitchen and the sunroom. The kitchen was completely redone: white shaker cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz countertops, white subway tile, a built-in wall oven and gas cooktop, open floating shelves and a wide breakfast bar. Windows above the counter frame green treetops while you work.

It opens directly into the main living area, where luxury vinyl plank runs unbroken across the entire level, and fresh paint, crown molding, wainscoting and recessed lighting give the space a finished feel, with room for a full dining table and comfortable seating.

Then there is the sunroom. Vaulted, wrapped in windows, with sliding doors out to a patio that has privacy fencing on either side and open woods behind. Morning coffee, a home office, a reading room. Bright, quiet, and the kind of space most townhomes simply do not have.

Upstairs, the primary suite sits under a tray ceiling with detailed molding and brand new carpet, and the private bath offers a dual vanity, a walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub and a walk-in closet. The additional bedrooms are well sized and share the same new carpet, fresh paint and good natural light. A dedicated laundry room with built-in shelving keeps that chore upstairs where it belongs.

As an end unit, the home takes light on three sides. The two-car garage handles parking and storage, with an extended driveway for guests. The expensive things are already done: new flooring, new carpet, fresh paint, a remodeled kitchen and the sunroom addition. The roof was replaced in 2022, and the HOA covers the roof, all exterior maintenance and landscaping, including any future work. The washer, dryer and Samsung refrigerator with Family Hub convey to the new owner.

Carpenter Park is minutes away with trails, a playground, pickleball courts and a community garden, with greenway access nearby. Whole Foods and Alston Town Center sit just up Highway 55, and Highway 55, I-540 and Morrisville Parkway put RTP, RDU and downtown Cary within an easy commute. Community amenities include a pool, clubhouse, tennis, playground and walking trails. Welcome Home.
