Move in ready and tucked into one of the more private settings in Cardinal Lake, this end unit townhome sits near the close of a quiet cul-de-sac with no homes directly across the street and none directly behind. That layout gives you a more open, comfortable feel than most townhome options in the area. Inside, the home is clean, refreshed, and ready for everyday living. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, resurfaced hardwoods on the main floor, and new fixtures and lighting throughout. The kitchen features granite counters and stainless steel appliances, and the living area has a gas log fireplace. The main level keeps living, dining, and kitchen spaces well defined, with all three bedrooms upstairs for added privacy. The refrigerator, washer, dryer, and an 8' x 12' storage shed convey with the home. You're close to Chapel Hill, RTP, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. If you want a finished, low maintenance home without the wait that comes with new construction, this one is worth a look. Structural and utility details include a brand-new HVAC system compressor and air handler installed in July 2024, running on digital Google Nest smart thermostats. Kitchen is outfitted with standard 42-inch upper cabinetry and natural granite countertops. Interior flooring consists of true hardwood on the main level and newly updated luxury vinyl plank (LVP) throughout the second floor. Exterior features include a fully enclosed privacy fence, concrete rear patio, and a freestanding 8-by-12 storage shed on a level lot. Parking consists of a 1-car attached front-load garage with a concrete driveway. Cardinal Lake community infrastructure is centered around a private 14-acre natural lake with dedicated walking trails, a residents-only clubhouse, an outdoor pool, and an established playground area. Monthly HOA assessments cover routine turf mowing, pine straw application, exterior building maintenance, and roof reserve allocations.
