Room to Breathe. Room to Spread Out. Room for What's Next. Some properties just give you more. Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac on a private two-acre lot, 2804 Gaya Court delivers the kind of space that's getting harder to find anywhere close to town; without asking you to trade away convenience to get it. The main level lives the way a traditional home should: 1,967 square feet, four bedrooms, two full baths, and an easy flow through common areas finished in rich hardwoods, with durable LVP in the bedrooms. Fresh paint throughout gives the entire home a clean, move-in-ready feel. The primary suite is a genuine retreat -- a large walk-in closet, a separate shower, and a soaking tub set beneath a picture window that pulls the outdoors in. Downstairs is where this property really separates itself from the pack. The full walk-out basement houses a nearly 800-square-foot apartment with its own private exterior entrance -- and interior access to the main home. Two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a full bath make it a true dual-living setup: ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or as a legitimate income-producing rental or short-term stay. Alongside the ADU, two generous flex rooms are ready to become whatever you need -- home gym, workshop, movie theater, studio, or rec room. Your call. Outside is where the property stretches its legs. Nearly an acre of the backyard is fully fenced -- a rare luxury that opens the door to gardens, pets, projects, or simply the quiet of your own wide-open space. The main back deck runs an impressive 36x16, and that's not even all of it. Morning coffee, weekend cookouts, dinners under the stars -- this is the entertainer's canvas, wrapped in mature privacy rather than neighbors' windows. Practical details are handled too: a recent roof, newer HVAC, means the big-ticket items are already checked off. And while the setting feels tucked away, you're just minutes from downtown Hillsborough and a quick hop to the interstates, keeping the rest of the Triangle easily within reach. Space to host. Space to work. Space to grow. Space to simply get away from it all. 2804 Gaya Court is the rare property that says yes to all of it.
