2629 Sweetgum Dr, Apex, NC 27539

Have you ever dreamed of owning a secluded, wooded retreat to escape to from the stresses of daily life? Welcome to your dream house at 2629 Sweetgum Drive where tranquility meets convenience! Tucked among mature trees on a private, 1.08 acre wooded cul-de-sac lot, this charming home provides a serene, nature-filled setting, making it feel like your own personal retreat. And yet...the location!!! While going home offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, you won't be sacrificing access to everything you need. You get privacy and elbow room from your nearest neighbor, and yet it's only a mile to Publix and Starbucks, a mile and a half to jump onto Route 1, and 3.5 miles to Downtown Apex!! This location is truly the best of both worlds!! And if you're a golfer, Knight's Play Par 3 is at the end of the street! This charming, and meticulously maintained, one-owner home offers daily living on the first floor. Since it is on septic, we are only allowed to say that it is a 3-bedroom home, but it truly lives like a 4-bedroom home (or 3-bedrooms and an extra bonus room), plus a large bonus room on the second floor. You can pick how to use the space! Three of the bedrooms, including the primary are downstairs. You would never have to go upstairs if you didn't want to! (Please note that upstairs had been roughed in when the home was built in 1987, and owners hired a licensed General Contractor to finish the 2nd floor in 1994, but additional permits were not pulled.) Inside, you will find gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint and brand new carpet. A charming wood burning fireplace in the living room will keep you cozy during the winters. Sellers have not only replaced the carpet in 2025, but have replaced the roof (2025), and have replaced all of the older polybutylene pipes with brand new plumbing (2024)! There are also several brand new windows, as the owners have replaced them as needed throughout the years. The encapsulated crawl space is clean and bone dry and tall enough to walk into! Step outside and relax, on the large, Trex deck that you can access both from the primary bedroom as well as the kitchen. Whether you love morning coffee watching the birds, or winding down listening to the katydids and crickets under the stars, this home offers the serenity you crave. If all of the above didn't win you over, while there are (some very old and loosely enforced) Covenants & Restrictions, there are no HOA dues for this home, and no Town of Apex taxes...only Wake County! Don't miss the chance to own this true gem in Apex—schedule your showing today!
