Why I LOVE living and working in Cary


My family & I moved to Cary NC in 1996, when my oldest son was 2 months old. It was tough in the beginning not having a support system and having a new baby. But what made it easier was the beautiful weather, so many parks to explore, friendly people and what we found to be a GREAT community to raise a family.

Greenways : Cary has a master plan to connect all the greenways. Greenways are linear parcels of land set aside to preserve open space. They  typically connect different parks to each other. They tend to be along stream & brooks. They preserve green space, keep folks healthy and active.
Greenways are a
n environmental, economic, and recreational resource for all to enjoy. 




Diversity:  Being a bedroom community to RTP, Cary is a melting pot of diversity and I LOVE it.  I grew up in white bread New Hampshire. I could  count on one hand the number of kids of racially different backgrounds who went to my elementary school in Nashua, NH. Here my boys know kids of so many different nationalities and backgrounds. All they know is diversity and that is great.

Location: Proximity to the beaches of NC & the Mountains  Cary's location is perfect. We can drive west and be in the  Smokey mountains with in 3 hours.

If we're in the mood for surf and sand we can drive 2 1/2 hours east on I40 to Wilmington & Wrightville Beach.



Air travel :Speaking of other transportation, if you need to jump on a plain, RDU is right next door. I can get to the airport door to door in 10-5 minutes and there is NEVER traffic! We also have our very own Amtrak station.
Cary has alot to offer and the above listed are just the beginning. As a Cary Realtor, it would be my pleasure to show you what Cary  has to offer.

All Brick well loved ranch in Apex 3 bedroom 2 bath MLS # 1759862


This is a perfect ALL brick ranch at start of cul de sac in Apex. Why is it perfect you ask? Because  it is owned by a tradesman who has updated EVERYTHING and left no detail unnoticed. He stripped the popcorn ceiling and made it smooth ceilings. Great that this messy job was done by someone else!


















This home has been all the bells and whistles: fresh neutral paint, 2” synthetic wood blinds, smooth ceilings, crown molding, Pergo floors and new rugs in the 3 bedrooms. The kitchen has a spectacular resurfaced counter top, stainless steel appliances, & top of the line sink and facet.
 
  
All the hardware, knobs, light switches and fixtures have been replaced and upgraded with brushed nickel. The master bath has been completely updated with tile shower & floor, an ergonomic toilet and updated brushed pewter fixtures.

 

    Besides being all brick, the roof  &  the HVAC system have been replaced in the last 5 yrs. This home has been well cared for & it shows.  The yard is fenced to keep the kids or pets safe with 2 sheds for storage. It’s an easy walk to Apex High School.  All of this in the perfect location minutes to shopping, parks, & medical facilities. 


Now the kicker! It is the best priced home in the neighborhood!
