This is the kind of house that keeps unfolding as you walk through it. A sunroom filled with natural light. A third-floor retreat big enough for movie nights, guests, workouts, or the teenager who wants their own level of the house. A backyard setup that feels private without trying too hard. At 109 Marvista Ct, the space actually works for real life. Set inside Cary's Lochmere community, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath transitional home offers 3, 721 square feet across three finished levels on a .23-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. The curb appeal lands immediately with the brick-front exterior, layered landscaping, and hardscape that gives the home a polished feel before you even step inside. Then the two-story foyer opens things up fast. Refinished hardwood floors, oversized windows, crown molding, built-ins, and natural light carry through the main level without the house feeling formal or stiff. The layout flows. The family room centers around a gas log fireplace and connects directly to the kitchen, breakfast nook, and sunroom, creating one large everyday living space while still giving each area its own purpose. The sunroom might quietly become everyone's favorite room in the house -- tucked just off the kitchen with backyard views and enough flexibility for reading space, morning coffee, plants, or a second office setup. The kitchen balances function and personality with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, and a dedicated coffee bar/workstation that helps keep daily life organized. There's room here for busy mornings, late-night snacks, and full holiday gatherings without the space feeling crowded. Upstairs, the primary suite goes full retreat mode with a tray ceiling, oversized footprint, freestanding soaking tub, frameless walk-in shower, dual vanities, and walk-in closet. The secondary bedrooms stay generously sized with flexibility for guests, office space, or hobbies, while the large bonus room on the second floor adds another layer of versatility for media space, gaming, workouts, or work-from-home life. And then the third floor completely changes the game. This level feels less like a bonus room and more like a separate living zone. The massive finished space with full bath setup works beautifully as a guest suite, recreation room, private office headquarters, or multi-generational setup. Add in the separate flex room and the possibilities only get better. Out back, the pergola, hardscaped patio and retaining walls create multiple hangout zones with a wooded backdrop and secret pergola gives the yard privacy and cool woodsy atmosphere. The extra parking pad is one of those upgrades buyers appreciate immediately once guests start showing up. Then there's Lochmere itself -- one of Cary's most lifestyle-driven communities. Residents enjoy roughly 10 miles of trails, three lakes, three pools, tennis courts, pickleball, playgrounds, volleyball, a clubhouse, and the Highlands Clubhouse gathering spaces. School bus stops located right on the street add another layer of everyday convenience. This neighborhood stays active while still feeling established and connected to nature. Nearby conveniences include Waverly Place (~7 mins), Koka Booth Amphitheatre (~10 mins), Downtown Cary (~12 mins), RTP (~22 mins), and RDU Airport (~18 mins), plus quick access to US-1 and I-40 for commuting across the Triangle. Three finished floors. Flexible living everywhere. Mature trees and a third-floor setup buyers are going to remember long after the showing ends. Come see it.
