About the host
Hosted by Mary Hansen
I love taking care of people and creating warm, cozy, happy spaces with soft lighting where people can relax, connect, or take time for themselves. My family and I lived in Denmark briefly, and the Scandinavian priorities of beautiful design, comfort, connection, and lamp lighting stayed with me!
I’m a mother, a CEO, a property owner, and a lot of other things I’m having fun discovering!
Why they chose this property
Downtown Cary is beautiful, quaint, and full of so many fun things to do. It has small-town charm and upscale offerings, from restaurants, bars, breweries, theaters, and the multi-million dollar Downtown Cary Park.
What makes this property unique
It's truly walkable to everything in downtown Cary, located right on the main street. The house is tucked away at the end of the street, however, surrounded by trees and your own private backyard and deck.
