Brick townhome in Amberly with a main floor that's ready for real life. Hardwood floors run through the open living, dining and kitchen area, and French doors open to a back patio that looks out at the trees. The kitchen has granite counters, double wall ovens and a big island that overlooks the living room, so whoever's cooking is still part of the conversation. Built-in surround sound in the living room takes care of movie night and game day. Upstairs, the primary suite has a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet and dual vanities. The two other bedrooms and the laundry are on the same floor, so no hauling baskets up and down the stairs. The $225 monthly HOA covers exterior maintenance and landscaping, and it gets you everything Amberly is known for: resort-style pools, a clubhouse, fitness center, playgrounds, greenways and community events. You're minutes from NC-540, RTP and RDU. If you want Cary living without giving up your weekends to yard work, come take a look.
