Nestled in the heart of Cary’s quiet and prestigious Preston neighborhood community lies 416 Calderbank Way, a luxurious home at the end of a private street adjacent to a quiet pond. This home presents a hard-to-find combination: a new home inside an established development with all the modern touches a buyer would expect. 

Featured in the 2016 Parade of Homes, this 4722 square foot home welcomes homeowners at the front porch entryway, which opens to reveal ten-foot ceilings, a first-floor executive office, hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, and custom wainscoting throughout. The generous driveway and three-car garage promise plenty of space for vehicles and storage for recreational gear, then use the secondary entrance through the mudroom, with built-ins for organizing outerwear and purchases out of sight. 

The open-concept living room and kitchen with breakfast area combination provides flow among the spaces. In the kitchen, every space was addressed to maximize usage and storage. A pot filler, warming drawer, generously-sized cabinets, Dacor range, and walk-in pantry with custom shelving offer ample options to make storing and cooking food a premium experience.

Off the kitchen sits a butler’s pantry, next to the spacious laundry room, complete with a sink, countertop workspace for folding clothes, and ample cabinets and shelving for storage. Immediately adjacent to the formal dining room, new owners can use the wine bar to place their collection in the Dacor refrigerator underneath the countertop. And a wall of sliding glass doors leads from the living room directly out onto the covered patio with outdoor fireplace, ideal for after-work socializing and indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Buyers will enjoy relaxing in the first-floor owners’ suite and luxuriating in the free-standing Victoria and Albert soaking tub. Remote-controlled blinds make adjusting the lighting easy, with just the touch of a button in both the owner’s suite and bath. Carrera marble counters and a walk-in shower with custom glass enclosure complete the experience. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the quiet backyard, with a private entrance to the covered porch.

Unseen but important modern touches include custom entertainment wiring throughout the home for televisions and sound systems. Take one of the dual staircases to the second floor for additional bedrooms, a large bonus room, and a walk-up attic. Each guest bedroom opens to its own en-suite bathroom, giving guests or children privacy. The designer touches subtly reveal themselves in the neutral paint choices and custom wood details found in every room. At the end of the night, just before retiring, set your pre-wired security system, and rest easy.

The prime location means being settled just minutes from shopping, dining, and top-notch medical care. Come home to 416 Calderbank Way, and owners can join an established neighborhood with a uniform aesthetic and golf course community, complete with tennis courts for encouraging leisure activities.
