104 Marseille Place

Framed by majestic stone pillars, graceful arches, and mature trees, Marseille Place offers a distinctive welcome to a quiet cul-de-sac of just ten estate homes in Cary's MacGregor West. Set on 1.34 acres, 104 Marseille Place was painstakingly built over two years with 77,000 bricks. Massive poplar crown moldings, heavy architectural trim, and Baldwin hardware reflect the care invested in its original construction, while extensive renovations bring fresh design and thoughtful functionality. The foyer makes a striking introduction with marble floors, a dramatic staircase, and soaring 20 ft. ceilings extending into the expansive family room. Large custom windows frame the pool, creating a direct line of sight from the front door to the water beyond. A wood-burning fireplace with a built-in gas lighter anchors the family room, while a formal dining room with a swinging door, a billiards room with a gas fireplace, and a wet bar offer distinct settings for gathering. Ten-foot ceilings in the surrounding main-floor spaces and nine-foot ceilings upstairs continue the home's generous proportions. A substantial renovation transformed the kitchen, laundry room, and dedicated art studio, with continuous hardwood floors now connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Custom cabinetry conceals separate 30-inch Thermador refrigerator and freezer columns, while a 48-inch rangetop beneath a custom hood, separate steam/convection and conventional ovens, and two Sapphire dishwashers support serious cooking and gracious hosting. A five-foot The Galley workstation with dual faucets anchors preparation, complemented by a separate cleanup sink. A plumbed built-in coffee system, beverage and wine refrigeration, and a Scotsman ice maker round out the kitchen and wet bars thoughtful design. The main-floor primary suite spans more than 1,000 sq. ft., with an en-suite bath, separate custom walk-in closets, a study, and a cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace. Three generously sized upstairs bedrooms, a second office or bonus room option with a kitchenette provide flexibility for work, guests and relaxing. California Closets installations in five rooms provide tailored organization, while the expansive 2-story unfinished attic offers excellent storage or potential for future finished living space. Outside, enhanced landscaping, and mature trees create a private setting around the Roman-shaped, 20 x 40 ft. in-ground, saltwater pool and fenced backyard. The pool slide and in-ground trampoline invite hours of outdoor play, from swimming and sliding to bouncing and back again. A private well supplies landscape irrigation, while a covered portico connects the home's side entry to the detached three-car garage. Further improvements include Andersen replacement doors throughout, front exterior uplighting, updated interior lighting, Cat6 wiring, a refreshed front entry, and custom front porch lanterns. The roof was replaced in 2017 with all-copper valleys, and three separate HVAC systems serve the home. Come experience the scale, craftsmanship, and thoughtful transformation of 104 Marseille Place, and imagine the life you'll create here.
