This beautiful transitional-style home is located in the popular Dogwood Ridge subdivision in Apex, NC - a fast-growing township which combines small-town ambiance with contemporary lifestyle amenities. It has been immaculately maintained inside and out, and is in "turn key condition".

Light, neutral decor and a cathedral ceiling give the elegant great room a wonderful bright and spacious feeling. A gas-log fireplace and arched, deeply recessed display niche above the mantel provide charming focal points. A custom-painted landscape mural graces another large arched accent niche located in the entry foyer. The warm hues of naural wood cabinetry and a decorative tile backsplash enhance the well-arranged kitchen. Lots of counter surface space, modern sink fixtures, updated cabinetry hardware and a center island are additional kitchen features.

A door from the kitchen leads to a very useful, separate workshop-mudroom area with lots of built-in shelving and storage space. Sliding glass doors in the kitchen-breakfast area provide access to the screened porch, which can also serve as an "informal outdoor dining area".

Renovations include the installation of a transomed French door entrance from the breakfast area to the great room, and enhancement of the formal dining room, which can also serve as an office-study.Dining room Improvements include installation of hardwood flooring, a transomed French door entryway, a transom "window" in the wall adjoining the stairwell, and creation of an under-stair storage area. The master bedroom suite and two secondary bedrooms are located on the second level.

The vaulted-ceiling "champagne bath" features a Palladian accent window, garden tub, separate shower, a dual sink vanity and skylights.

An oversized patio and screened porch equipped with a ceiling fan and roll-up bamboo blinds are big pluses. An established perennial flower garden accented with a gravel walkway is located near the sheltered front entry. In the back yard, a wooded buffer and green hedge, as well as mature landscaping, provide privacy and pleasing natural viewsl.
