102 Michelangelo Way, Cary, NC 27518

Property Description

Rarely does an opportunity become available in Renaissance at Regency, one of Cary's most exclusive communities. Built in 2007 and meticulously maintained, this custom residence pairs craftsmanship and detail rarely replicated today with mature landscaping, a private wooded backdrop, and a floor plan equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. European-influenced architecture combines a substantial stone-and-brick façade with dark standing-seam metal accents, mature evergreens, and a covered entry with arched wood-and-glass double doors. Inside, travertine tile, substantial crown moulding, and detailed millwork set the tone from the foyer. A private home office features paned French doors, a transom, plantation shutters, and a tray ceiling, while the formal dining room is finished with raised-panel wainscoting and a stepped tray ceiling. A butler's pantry with a wet bar, prep sink, wine refrigerator, and diamond-lattice wine storage leads to a generously scaled kitchen designed for serious cooking. A Wolf gas range beneath a custom arched hood is joined by a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, Jenn-Air wall oven and warming drawer, two dishwashers, granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, a center island, and a separate prep island with seating. Travertine backsplash tile and a framed mosaic inset above the range add another layer of custom detail. The adjoining breakfast area is wrapped in transom-topped windows and offers two direct connections outdoors—one to the screened porch and another to the patio. Just beyond, the expansive living room is centered around a gas fireplace with a paneled overmantel, flanked by custom built-ins and plantation-shuttered windows overlooking the backyard. The screened porch is especially inviting: cozy, private, and surrounded by mature trees. Brick walls, a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling, custom fretwork railings, a paddle fan, and a mounted television create a comfortable space for quiet mornings, game days, and evenings outside. Outdoor entertaining continues on the stone patio, where a kitchen beneath a cedar pergola includes a built-in gas grill, granite countertops, dedicated space for a smoker, and a stacked-stone surround. Nearby, a circular fire pit is framed by a curved seat wall with integrated lighting. A level fenced lawn beyond is bordered by mature hardwoods, giving the backyard both usable space and privacy. Privately positioned on the main level, the primary suite features hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Its exceptionally spacious walk-in closet connects directly to the laundry room, complete with a full-size sink and generous folding counter. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each have a walk-in closet and en suite bath, accompanied by a spacious bonus room. The finished third level, filled with natural light and complete with its own en suite bath, offers the flexibility to serve as yet another bedroom, guest retreat, fitness studio, game room, or media room. Plantation shutters, substantial crown moulding, and custom millwork continue throughout, while a three-car garage is discreetly positioned behind the home. The Symphony Lake Greenway is just steps away, with Koka Booth Amphitheatre nearby and the shopping, dining, and entertainment at Waverly Place and Crossroads only minutes from home. It is a home defined by the accumulation of details—thoughtful craftsmanship, flexible living spaces, a private setting, and an unusually easy connection between indoors and out.
