New Home Community - Bellemont at Cary Park
April 29th, 2008 Categories: Cary, New Construction Homes
A new community has opened in the popular Cary Park area. It is a small neighborhood of 64 home sites called Bellemont at Cary Park. I was just there at a broker open house a few weeks ago and was quite impressed.
Piccola Builders is building custom homes at Bellemont with lots of attention to detail. Prices start in the mid $300s. These homes feature upgrades such as screened porches, unfinished walk-up attics, tankless water heaters, granite countertops, gas stoves, trey ceilings, hardwoods in the living areas, and ceramic tile in the bathrooms. Some homes even have basements. A rare find in our market. The models we toured feel well built and look great.
Here is a list of homes currently for sale in Bellemont at Cary Park
2925 sq/ft, 3BR/2.5BA, basement, $408,174
3120 sq/ft, 3BR/3.5BA, basement, $440,772
3120 sq/ft, 5BR/4.5BA, $408,870
2999 sq/ft, 5BR/4.5BA, $393,500
There are currently up to $10,000 in discount options and up to $3,000 in builder paid closing costs available for a limited time, with certain restrictions.
This location cannot be beat, especially if you work in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) area. Folks who work at IBM, Cisco, Ericsson, SAS, or any of the other high tech employers at the park will really appreciate the short drive to work.
And there are plenty of amenities nearby too. The Cary Park Club with 2 pools, a waterslide, playground and clubhouse is available to all Bellemont residents. There is also a 28 acre lake nearby and 2 miles of walking trails. Just a few blocks away is the brand new Cary Park Village Center which I’m told will be home to very good assortment of restaurants and shops.
If this sound like a place you want to know more about, just give me a call at 919-602-7000, or send me an email.

Cary Lazy Days Well Attended
August 25th, 2007 Categories: Cary
If you’re thinking of relocating to Cary, North Carolina you’ll be glad to know that there’s always something fun going on.
Here’s the live report from Cary Lazy Days that I promised. Locals took the opportunity to get out of the house from all over Wake County and beyond to attend the 31st annual Cary Lazy Days Arts and Crafts Festival.
We got there at about 9:00 and the place was already packed. Our strategy was to go early and avoid the heat. Many others shared that strategy.
We struck up a few conversations with folks and found that attendees really did come from all over, not just Cary.
We spoke to people from Raleigh, Wake Forest, Cary, Holly Springs, Apex and even as far away as Roanoak Rapids, VA.
The event was very kid friendly and family friendly. Here is a Cary Fire and Rescue guy entertaining a couple of kids with a remote controlled fire hydrant.
Entertainment was scheduled throughout the day. The Cary Town Band is warming up for the 9:30 performance.
There was a whole section set up just for food. There was everything you could imagine… kind of like the State Fair. People were eating those deep fried turkey drumsticks at 10:00 am!
These guys told us there was going to be a sword fight later in the morning. We didn’t stick around for that. 
Ah, one of my favorites and worthy of special mention. This is Joann Brown who traveled all the way from Charleston, SC to display her handcrafted sweetgrass baskets. If you’ve never seen these things you don’t know what you’re missing! We had fun chatting with Joann about baskets and Charleston. As it turns out, we had actually purchased one of these from her sister several years ago while on vacation in Charleston… small world, huh?
No trip to downtown Cary, North Carolina is complete without stopping by Ashworth Drug Store. This place is like stepping back in time. It’s complete with an old fashioned soda fountain and all the charm of the corner drug store you remember as a kid.
I hope this article helps gives you a little taste of what living in Cary is like. Cary Lazy Days happens every year and is a good example of the kind of family friendly fun that takes place in the Greater Raleigh area on a regular basis.
If you’re thinking about relocating to Cary, send me an email or call me at 919–602–7000 and I’ll be glad to answer any questions you have.

Cary Lazy Days
August 22nd, 2007 Categories: Cary
Looking for something to get you out of the house in Cary, NC this Saturday? Look no further… the 31st annual Cary Lazy Days will provide a good excuse to do just that!
Cary Lazy Days is a arts and crafts street festival that is expected to draw 60,000 people to downtown Cary, North Carolina on Saturday, August 25th.
There will be lots to do including some incredible arts and crafts displays, food and entertainment. I’ve been in the past and it really was a fun time. Very family friendly. The artists and craftsmen have some very good works that you can browse. This would be a great place to find that unique piece you’ve been after for that special place in your new Cary home.
The weather report is calling for 94 degrees with a 30% chance of isolated thunderstorms. That’s pretty typical for this time of year in North Carolina. Be sure to bring the appropriate sunscreen, hat, etc. and dress comfortably.
Although the festival takes place in Cary, it draws visitors from all over the greater Raleigh area. I plan to be there in the morning and will do a follow up article for any of you planning to relocate to the Cary area who would like a brief summary of what it was like. Stop back early next week and check it out.
