This spring, we at CaryRealEstate.com had the opportunity to sponsor a men’s modified (think stealing bases and faster pitching) softball team. Claire’s son Brad was the catalyst for the group of guys who eventually came together to form the team…some were co-workers from the Cary Post Office, other’s were aquaintances from church, with friends and friends of friends rounding out the roster. While the teams’ record showed as many losses as wins (sometimes more) going into the final weeks of the season…they continued to persevere and found the will to win in the playoffs. The team attributed much of their success in the final rounds to a loyal fan, Chris Rivera who’s presence seemed to guarantee a win. He was given a team jersy and implored to be at each game…he came and they won!

So…a proud “thank you” to the guys on the team, to the team coach, Harlen Greene and his wife, Roberta and to Brad Hanes for giving us the chance to sponsor what turned out to be a winning season! You guys rock!

To that end, I’d like to introduce you to two fantastic reasons to step over to the Lake Wheeler Road/Penny Road area of Raleigh.

2201 Black Willow Court, in Enchanted Oaks, Raleigh, NC-listed by CaryRealEstate.com

First, is the Enchanted Oaks subdivision where we are intimately familiar with this stunning home at 2201  Black Willow Court. Enchanted Oaks’ residents enjoy wonderfully large, private lots. And, there’s a neighborhood pool, clubhouse and children’s playground…all within very easy access to I40 and Rte 401. CaryRealEstate.com proudly lists this home with features like a .90 acre flat lot, huge sunroom, gorgeous hardwoods, all formals and a very large 2 car side entry garage. There’s a large bonus room with it’s own separate staircase and large bedrooms. The kitchen boasts a built in desk nook as well as built-in china/crystal cupboard with it’s own sink for handwashing those delicate dishes. Not only is this home in pristine condition and located in this fantastic neighborhood but it’s also within a 5 minute car ride to the second fabulous find out in this part of Wake County…

CaryRealEstate.com visits Historic Yate's Mill County Park

Historic Yates Mill County Park…this was a new experience for me. I mean, I’ve known for many years that the mill pond was here but I had never taken the time to spend an hour or so poking around…until today. Today was one of those picture perfect Carolina days that just begs you to get outside and DO something!

I’m sure glad I did…and I recommend you do as well. Of course, there’s the old mill building, the pond and a few old mill stones scattered about but there’s sooo much more. There’s a large visitor/educational center, several walking trails ranging in length from about .10 miles to just about a mile. The vegetation and wildlife are abundant. It’s just such a nice place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of a busy day. Here’s a few of the photos I snapped while I was there…

So, I hope you’ll come take a look at 2201 Black Willow Court  in Enchanted Oaks if you or someone you know is looking for that perfect next home. And after you visit there, do yourself a favor and take a nature break at Historic Yates Mill County Park just down the road!

This custom built home sits on almost 1 acre in the swift creek area’s most sought after subdivision – what a great opportunity to get into this neighborhood for $365,000!  Enchanted Oaks has homes valued over 1 million! I had the pleasure of selling this home to the current owners 10 years ago!  It’s an honor to help them again.  The home is not listed in the Triangle MLS system while the home gets  new carpet and fresh interior paint.  Be the first to see it when it’s ready – contact CaryRealEstate.com today!

2,800 square feet*1st Floor is ALL Hardwoods!*3 bedroom plus Bonus with Back Stairs*2 Car Garage*Sunroom

To help boost its chances for success, the Town of Cary is asking Cary citizens to nominate their community to Internet search-engine great, Google, as the first and only location to install its blazing-fast experimental fiber-optic network.  The connection promises to deliver data at 1 gigabit per second; that’s roughly 50 to 300 times faster than current DSL, cable and fiber-optic networks that connect most U.S. homes to the Internet. Simply go to Google’s nomination page and complete the short survey. The last day to nominate Cary is Friday, March 26.

The Morrisville Parkway Extension will connect the dots between Morrisville Parkway and Davis Drive all the way to NC Hwy 55.

Currently there are standalone sections of Morrisville Pkwy.  The 3 missing pieces include a section between Davis Drive and  a standalone section of Morrisville Parkway that has previously only been accessible from inside of the Preston Village subdivision.  The work is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2010.   In my opinion this will be a great benefit to overall traffic flow, connecting Davis Drive to NC Hwy 55.  There will be a trade-off for a few sections of homes in the Preston Village and Preston LakeridgeTownhomes communities – they will have much greater access to major highways but will have increased traffic – for years the small standalone section of Morrisville Pkwy has been very quietly tucked away inside of the Preston Village subdivision.
