$495,000

Settle into Scottish Hills before the holidays. This one-story home sits on a private 0.41-acre lot framed by mature trees, with no HOA and more than $74,000 in documented upgrades already done. The big systems are handled: a Timberline HDZ roof and gutters (2026), 16 Restoration Innovative windows (2024) and aluminum storm doors (2022), each with a lifetime transferable warranty, plus TAP attic insulation (2024) and a 2019 gas water heater. Hardwoods and crown molding carry through the formal living and dining rooms to the family room, where a gas fireplace with new logs opens to the kitchen. There you'll find GE Café appliances with a gas range, crisp white cabinetry and an island with seating. Plantation blinds, a private primary bath and a laundry room with a new LG washer and dryer round out the inside. Out back, a patio is tucked among the trees, and the covered carport leads to a renovated 20-foot storage room with ProVia steel doors, ready for a workshop, bikes or hobby space. Minutes to Cary's greenways and parks, with optional membership at the Scottish Hills Recreation Club.
