Pull into Weston Oaks and the pace changes. Crepe-myrtle-lined sidewalks wind past stately homes and mature landscaping, creating a neighborhood that feels tucked away even though you're in one of Cary's most central locations. From 1049 Kennicott Drive, you're about ten minutes to RDU and Fenton, fifteen to RTP, and twenty to DPAC. Top hospitals, urgent care, and a fire station are all within ten miles — convenience without giving up the feeling of coming home to somewhere special. Landscaping anchors this brick home beautifully, while crimson and tan trim, a front porch, and side entrance add warmth and character. Most days, though, you'll likely enter through the two-car garage with separate doors. Come through the mudroom, where gym bags and dirty clothes can stop before reaching the main house, and step into a cozy keeping room with built-ins, a gas fireplace, and a striking stained-glass ceiling fan. Step out to the lower level screened porch to catch up on what's happened while you've been away: frenzied birdfeeders, backyard shenanigans and neighborly chatter. Out back, a retaining wall makes the perfect perch for watching basketball, volleyball, or afternoon play on the sports court just beyond the kitchen. When dinner is ready, no one is too far away to call inside From there, life naturally moves into the kitchen — the true command center. A generous island features a round stainless prep sink and sprayer, surrounded by warm wood cabinetry, chocolate-toned granite, and a hooded gas range. Grab something cold from the stainless refrigerator, pull a bottle from the wine rack, and charge the family's devices at this convenient counter. The kitchen sink overlooks the family room, where 10-plus-foot ceilings, a wall of backyard windows, and a beautiful mantel flanked by built-ins make the space feel both grand and comfortable. Hardwoods continue through the dining and family rooms to a memorable formal entry, where black-and-white stone welcomes guests through French doors. Behind mullioned glass doors, a flexible room works as an office, reading room, or playroom. Another first-floor flex room sits beside a full bath and features a bay window, making it an easy guest suite. And don't miss the fully carpeted Harry Potter closet — quite possibly the best hiding spot in the house. Head upstairs on the hardwood staircase past a Palladian window that fills the hallways with natural light. A large step-up bonus room offers space for games, homework, a pool table, or simply somewhere to spread out. Two front bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed bath with the tub/shower and toilet closeted separately, while a third bedroom has convenient access to another bath. Then there's the primary suite. Positioned over the keeping room and kitchen, it is quite possibly one of the largest primary bedrooms you've ever slept in. There's room for substantial furniture and a true sitting area, plus direct access to the upstairs screened porch and balcony — a private place for morning coffee, checking the weather, or ending the day outside. The primary bath matches the scale with dual vanities on separate walls, soaking tub, separate shower, two walk-in closets, and additional finished space over the garage ready for a dressing room, exercise space, office, or whatever suits your life. And there's still another floor. The third-floor media room is ready for movie night with a wet bar, movie screen, projector, and cords and connections already in place. Bring the popcorn and pick the movie.. 1049 Kennicott Drive is built for the way life really happens — quiet mornings on the porch, afternoons on the sports court, guests with their own space, movie nights upstairs, and dinner around the kitchen. It's hard to beat the lifestyle that Weston Oaks in Cary offers.

A Cary property this special is remarkably hard to find. Situated on two parcels totaling approximately 1.6 acres, 105 Dewberry Court offers exceptional space, privacy and natural beauty in a location convenient to the best of Cary and Wake County. Set well back from the cul-de-sac, the home makes a memorable first impression. A long, gracefully curving driveway leads to a circular turnaround at the front porch, framed by mature landscaping and expansive lawn. Cedar siding and a generous rocking-chair porch create a warm welcome, with hardwood-style porch flooring and room for hanging ferns and baskets. Inside, a gracious entry opens to beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout the main living areas, while the carpet has also just been updated. The generously sized dining room, accented by a brushed-nickel chandelier, flows into the kitchen and adjoining laundry room, where skylights bring natural light into the heart of the home. Warm cabinetry, charming speckled gray Corian countertops, a double sink, microwave and modern slide-in range give the kitchen distinctive character. A center island adds workspace, while the sunny breakfast area features a bank of windows overlooking the backyard—an ideal place to watch the birds and gentle wildlife. The first floor laundry room accommodates a full-size side-by-side washer and dryer and includes upper cabinetry for household essentials. With room to spare, it could also provide storage or hobby space. The kitchen opens to a warm and inviting family room, where ceiling beams and rich wood trim add character. A bright fireplace anchors the space, while a built-in desk and shelving create the perfect household command center. Two sets of French doors lead to the screened porch, where hardwood decking adds a custom feel and expansive property views create an idyllic backdrop for morning coffee, an afternoon nap or a good book. Beyond the porch, a large open deck with stairs leads to a backyard ready for play, gardening and outdoor gatherings. The first-floor primary suite is truly the crown jewel of the home. Added in 2000, this expansive private wing features a bay window overlooking landscaped and natural areas, two closets and a separate keeping room—ideal as a home office, nursery, sitting room or private sleeping area. The spacious en suite bathroom offers a dual-sink vanity, beautifully tiled walk-in shower, private water closet and air jetted soaking tub. Also on the first floor is the original main-level bedroom, with a full bathroom directly across the hall. It offers excellent flexibility as an additional bedroom, guest room or home office. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide even more versatility. A second primary suite includes updated bathroom fixtures, a walk-in closet and charming dormer windows, while two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath. One bedroom accesses both an unfinished walk-in attic space and a walk-up semi-finished attic with drywall, carpet and windows, offering potential for future finished space, a studio, hobby area or exceptional storage. Just add cooling! A two-car garage sits conveniently beside the kitchen, making grocery unloading easy. Above the garage is a delightful bonus room set apart from the bedroom wing. Create a media room, gaming headquarters, playroom, music space, exercise room or content studio, then simply close the door when the day is done. Outside, the property feels like a private sanctuary. Mature surroundings provide very little exposure to neighboring homes. Water the lawn and plants with a private well that is connected to all spigots. With approximately 1.6 acres, two parcels, multiple main-level bedrooms, dual primary suites on the first and second floor, generous bonus and attic space, a screened porch, open deck and unmistakable charm, 105 Dewberry Court offers something exceptionally rare: room to spread out, work, play, create and connect with nature—all from an established Cary location.
