About this property
Historic 2BR • Walk to Dining • Porch and Yard
Built in 1927, this cozy 2BR/1BA cottage blends vintage charm with modern comfort. Once home to Dr. J.P. Hunter, Cary’s first physician, it features hardwood floors, a full kitchen, dining area, living room, washer/dryer, and a dedicated workspace. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it’s a short walk to Downtown Cary and the historic district. A $200 refundable security deposit is required. No pets unless approved.
What makes this house unique is the history. Dr. JP hunter was the first practicing physician in Cary who reside in this home from 1929 till 1959. The floors aren’t all even but that is his charm. All interiors from kitchen, bathroom, living, bedrooms, utility room are updated to modern comfort. There is a lovely wrap around front deck that would be relaxing on spring and summer nights. A lovely enclosed backyard. No pets allow. Unless prior approval.
A very safe and quiet neighborhood literally walking distance to Cary Downtown Park. I encourage you take a stroll during the afternoon and late evening to experience the “Cary” town feel. It is quite calm, peaceful, and very enjoyable. Harrison / Chatham intersection, The Mayton Inn, Cary Arts Center, the Fountain, Pavilion, Great Lawn, Skywalk, and many more, all walking distance. Enjoy the night life, dinning, and tranquil stroll along the pedestrian walk.
There are many boutique cafes and restaurants such as Crosstown Pub and Grill, Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Cafe, Serendipity Gourmet Deli, Academy Street Bistro, The Cotton House Craft Beer, The Verandah. Very few small shops for grocery. Real grocery like Harris-teeter, Kroger, Lidl, Walmart one should drive to. Cary Park Perimeter with many of our local corporations like SAS, Sprint, Verizon, are 5 to 10 minutes drive.
Other large event in the area includes Arboretum, Museums, Wake Med Soccer Park, Lake Crabtree County Park, Bond Park, approx 10 to 15 min. drive, PNC Arena, Carter Finley Stadium -Home of the NCSU Wolfpack, Meredith College, Duke and Chapel Hill with in 30 minutes drive Via 1-40
Transportation - If you must visit Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, I recommend and suggest a car rental. Alternatives include Uber and Lyft. They are just an apps away.
