Before there was even a Cary, the Maynard-Stone House stood proudly within its future borders. Built in 1860—eleven years before Cary was incorporated—this remarkable Greek Revival residence offers a rare blend of history, modern restoration, privacy, and location. Moved from the corner of High House Road and Davis Drive to… Read More save it from development, it now rests on 2.85 secluded acres at the end of a private dead-end road. Despite the solitude, it is remarkably close to all the best that Cary has to offer. On approach, revealed within the trees, is a monumental two-story front porch with tall fluted Ionic columns- introducing a home of impressive scale and unmistakable Southern character. The 4,592 square foot residence offers four bedrooms (including a downstairs en-suite), three-and-a-half baths, oversized rooms, and soaring 10 plus foot ceilings. Original heart-pine floors, hand-milled moldings, and 165-year-old solid wood doors preserve its craftsmanship, while exposed beams, joints, and wooden pegs reveal its timber-framed construction. Rarer still, is the peace of mind that comes with the comprehensively renovated infrastructure. Stripped to its over-built 1860 frame and painstakingly remodelled in 2020-21, the Maynard-Stone House received new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, gas lines, windows, drywall, septic, on-demand water heating, pool & well pumps, and custom-milled cedar siding. A standing-seam metal roof was installed in 2010. The result is exceedingly difficult to find: the presence, natural materials, and craftsmanship of a 19th-century home without inheriting a 19th-century infrastructure. Designed for gathering, the expansive kitchen features nearly 38 linear feet of carrara marble countertops, inset cabinetry, 33 soft-close drawers, and a striking 15-plus-foot island. An ILVE Professional 48-inch black-and-brass eight-burner gas range pairs with a coordinating ZLINE refrigerator; as an integrated Bosch dishwasher disappears into the cabinetry. The generous primary suite boasts a bath enveloped in Grecian White marble, with a cast-iron enameled roll-top pedestal tub with wooded tub views. Other baths feature travertine, slate, and a hand-finished Tadelakt lime-plaster shower. Surrounded by mature trees, the enchanting sunroom creates a private, treehouse-like retreat. Outside, a hidden oasis awaits: a newly plastered and tiled 40-by-20-foot pool secluded from view, gently rolling usable grounds, and an open lawn invites gardens, recreation, future sport court, or a more self-sufficient country-estate lifestyle. An original tobacco barn and corn crib preserve the Maynard-Stone House's agricultural roots. Just over 2,000 square feet of unfinished daylight walkout basement, offers flexibility for storage, workshop/studio space, or future finished use. Prestonwood Country Club's 54 holes of championship golf is 5 minutes away, with top-rated schools, Downtown Cary, RDU, Research Triangle Park, Downtown Apex, and amazing parks within easy reach. Saved twice—first from development, then through restoration—the Maynard-Stone House offers more than an 1860 residence. Its next owners become stewards of an authentic piece of Cary's past, restored and ready for Cary's future. Read Less
