Home for sale - Weston Oaks

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.
