...Welcome to 504 S Dixon Avenue, a thoughtfully reimagined and beautifully renovated home (2018) in the Heart of Cary, a ten-minute stroll to the celebrated Downtown Cary Park. Ask the Listing Broker about converting the carport to a 2 Car Garage.

This charming detached residence offers approximately 3,000 square feet of finely crafted living space, blending timeless character with modern comfort. Rich site-finished hardwoods and refined tile work flow throughout the main living areas, while an additional 600+ square feet of heated and cooled partially finished basement space (with open ceilings and painted concrete floors) invites endless flexibility. Nearly 500 square feet of walk-in attic storage and multiple covered outdoor storage areas add to the home's thoughtful design.

Inside, a downstairs Guest En-Suite, 2 generously sized secondary and tertiary bedrooms upstairs featuring hardwood flooring, and abundant natural light. Three and a half tastefully remodeled bathrooms include a spacious primary Owner's En-Suite with custom-sized dual vanities, a large custom closet and a beautifully finished surround tile shower with a glass enclosure.

The heart of the home is the central kitchen-dining space, where a quartz island, stylish pendant lighting, and an induction cooktop create a space perfect for family gatherings and culinary creativity. Walk out to a spacious screened porch with tounge & groove ceilings and a private back-yard view.

A cozy family room fireplace adds warmth and charm to the main floor, while a dedicated media or recreation room in the basement offers an ideal retreat for movie nights, games, or casual entertaining.

Additional highlights include a welcoming foyer, a bright first-floor laundry room with 3 windows and spacious shelving, and a flexible basement space that can accommodate a workshop, a home gym, a ping pong table, and a billiards room.

Outdoors, a meandering walkway leads guests to a large, covered front porch built with Trex, beautifully appointed with a vaulted design and tongue-and-groove wood ceiling — an inviting setting to relax and savor the seasons. Professionally landscaped front and backyards offer spaces for gardening, barbecues, or fireside gatherings. The spacious screened porch provides an additional tranquil retreat for year-round enjoyment.

Blending style, warmth, and practicality, this move-in ready home is nestled in one of Cary's most walkable, yet peacefully quiet neighborhoods — a rare find where everyday living feels a touch more extraordinary. Irrigation System includes yard and garden beds. Make this move-in ready yours today!
