Seagrove's Farm History via Capital Area Preservation Inc., Raleigh NC

Seagroves Farm, 1617 Ten Ten Road, Apex, Easement Acquired: 9/24/2007
The John H. and Nevada Seagroves Farm is an especially intact turn-of-the-century tobacco farm complex that features a one story, triple-A-roofed house and several frame outbuildings. According to family members, Raymond Baker of Apex and his three brothers built the Seagroves Farm around 1910 and embellished it with a wraparound porch and decorative gable trim. Born around 1875 to a tenant farmer, John Seagroves was no doubt the beneficiary of bright leaf tobacco's expansion in western Wake County in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He bought his own 92-acre farm for $540 in 1904 and also served as a rural mail carrier. All that remains of the vast farm are the house, several of its outbuildings on approximately 1 acre in fast-developing Apex. Owner Cotton Custom Homes, Inc. donated a preservation easement to CAP in September 2007 and will rehabilitate the house and outbuildings for their business offices in accordance with a rehabilitation agreement with CAP.

Don't wait 4 weeks down the road and THEN decide to do these things.  Yes, it might help...BUT you've missed the boat!  The majority of your showings have already happened!!

937 Ralph Drive, Cary NC - Greenwood Forest

Quite a lovely home.  Previously owned by grandparents of current owners. Well taken care of. BUT now, several weeks after listing they have added wonderful flower boxes, landscaping, bits and pieces of lovely things.....that would have added to "curb" appeal from the start!  WHY didn't they do it before???

937 Ralph Drive - Cary NC - will have new kitchen flooring & countertops this week.  New flower boxes along the driveway. Spotless carpeting. Decluttered bedrooms. Fresh paint in most of the rooms.  Some updated lighting. Lovely hardwood floors in the family room.

4 Huge Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, Living & Dining Rooms, Family Room with fireplace, AND a 1/2 acre in the Heart of Cary!

Greenwood Forest is walking distance to schools, shopping & restaurants.  Beautiful established neighborhood. Come visit today!

Dutchman Downs Subdivision is in Wake County NC .  We are out in the county, although surrounded by Cary - Apex - Holly Springs NC !  No doubt we'll be annexed into Cary NC  the next couple of years.  In the meantime we can enjoy a couple of acres, low taxes and bon fires!

Many Dutchman Downs residents have banned together with a STOP CARY campaign.  I hope it has good results! 

Thought I'd share some pictures from Dutchman Downs - Raleigh NC address; Wake County NC location; surrounded by Cary NC city limits.  UGH.

foreign invasion of weeds!\

Apex NC was recently ranked the 3rd best place to move to by Forbes magazine !  In years past Cary NC has been among the top cities ranked by Money magazine ! 

This entire Research Triangle Park area (including Raleigh, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Clayton) is a GREAT place to live!  Low crime, great schools & universities, excellent medical facilities, fairly low taxes, job opportunities, within a few hours of the beaches & mountains, about half way between Florida & New York....

However, if you are thinking about moving here or are a "newbie" (and especially if you're from New Jersey, like I am - or CA, NY, FL) you must be aware of "The Rules".  These are authored by me, Nellie Lytvinenko, and came about over the years of living here, working with home buyers from other states.

I moved to Cary NC over 25 years ago. My first trip to the grocery store & post office almost everyone who walk past me said "hey" & nodded & smiled.  I came home KNOWING I would love it here!

While showing homes to a young couple from New Jersey, I pulled into a gas station, got out to pump gas (we have self serve here, not full service like NJ) and while filling the tank had a nice conversation with the man behind us.  As I started up the car my clients asked if I knew the man I was talking with - "No, I don't know him...but I know he had a bad car wreck, has a bad back & that's why he drives that huge truck."  See Rule #1 below.

Rule #1 - If you're at the gas station, grocery store, coffee shop, restaurant, post office, etc. and someone in line or at the table next to you talks to you...99.9% of the time they do not want money.  They just want to talk...about the weather, the stock market, the traffic, whatever.  Don't be rude...talk back. And smile!  You'll be glad you did.

Rule #2 - If you're at a red light & it turns green DO NOT BLAST your horn!  Count to 15 SLOWLY, then 2 little "beep, beeps" will usually do the trick.

Rule #3 - When you are driving through neighborhoods, ANY neighborhoods; people in their yards, walking their dogs, driving...they will wave at you.  Don't look around to see who they're waving at.  They're waving at you and they don't know you!  Wave back!

Rule #4 - There are still some of us who drive the speed limit and sometimes we're in the passing lane on the beltline.  Just go around us.  There's no need to get that upset.  Slow down your pace. Relax. And get to where you're going in one piece.

Rule #5 - If you've moved here, tried it out for a while, and just don't like the "slower" pace, the "hey, how are y'all?", the vinegar based  North Carolina BBQ....either get used to it or go back where you came from. And don't complain.

If you are moving to Apex NC - Cary NC - Raleigh NC .  These are the basics.  Do you have anything to add to this list? Look forward to "waving" at you!
