Assuming Hodge-to-de Rham degeneracy and a local condition that guarantees freeness of the Hodge bundle, we prove a Bogomolov–Tian–Todorov–type unobstructedness theorem for smoothing of singular Calabi–Yau varieties. In particular, this provides a unified proof for the existence of smoothing of both $d$-semistable log smooth Calabi–Yau varieties (as studied by Friedman [$href{https://doi.org/10.2307/2006955}{22}$] and Kawamata–Namikawa [$href{ https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01231538}{41}$]) and maximally degenerate Calabi–Yau varieties (as studied by Kontsevich–Soibelman $[href{ https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/0-8176-4467-9_9}{45}$] and Gross–Siebert [$href{ http://doi.org/10.4007/annals.2011.174.3.1}{30}$]).

These arise from the Cantor set levels of a topological mapping cylinder. The boundaries of the neighborhoods are $3$-manifolds that are only topologically embedded, but still satisfy a notion of pseudoconvexity. Such $3$-manifolds share some basic properties of hypersurfaces that are strictly pseudoconvex in the usual smooth sense, but they are far more common.
