Harrison Place is a lovely wooded subdivision of custom homes off North Harrison Avenue, in north Cary NC. Originally developed by nearby SAS Institute in the late 1980's, Harrison Place is in a superb location, central to many points of interest in the Triangle. Downtown Raleigh, NC State University, North Carolina Museum of Art, North Carolina State Fairgrounds, RBC Center arena, Carter Finley Stadium, Umstead Park, RDU Airport, Research Triangle Park, and various other shopping and service opportunities are all within minutes of Harrison Place.
I saw it in Saturday's Raleigh News and Observer, a reprint of an article from the Washington Times. Wallpaper is staging a comeback!!! Read all about it in the News and Observer!
I had heard wallpaper rumblings and rumors. A year or so ago, HGTV Househunters featured a fellow who wanted a condo where he could unleash his burgeoning wallpapering talents. And, it seems that anytime something falls as far from grace as wallpaper assuredly has, it rebounds into the spotlight again just to keep us on our toes.
I worked hard many years ago to develop wallpaper hanging skills. To cut and match and plumb and level well enough to let people see my work. About the time I got good at it (Or so I thought), wallpaper fell completely out of favor. And now, my skill is redeemed! Wallpaper is back!
So, you have a home to sell in Cary? And now your wallpaper is back in favor, right? Not so fast. It can be expensive to be a trendsetter out on the bleeding edge of the cutting edge. I have yet to hear Buyers mention "Wallpaper" without wrinkling up their noses at the concept. And a new media fad doesn't mean that your floral 1990's have suddenly become chic, in, old school hot, desirable, retro. Not at all. And that foil paper? Buh-bye! Decor is a personal and volatile subject. Your delight may well be a well-qualified Buyer's stupor. And we all know there is no excess of well-qualified Buyers.
The advice to strip and paint is going to be with us for a while, I am afraid.
Almost every time I have to talk to another real estate firm about swiping my photos, I hear, "But it wasn't copyrighted." Did you see this? No? Whoops, you should be reading Seth, particularly if marketing is part of your career...

Since the end of October, the North Carolina Museum of Art has been honored to host Rembrandt in America, the largest collection of Rembrandt paintings to ever have been exhibited in America. The collection is on display for a few more weeks, until January 22, so you should be scheduling your visit soon. I haven't even visited the new NC Museum of Art since construction was completed, so I am overdue to find a reason to go.
Interestingly, I have been collecting Rembrandts in Cary and Raleigh for some time. Houses, that is. "Rembrandt" models by New Fortis/K Hovnanian Homes.
I live in a Rembrandt. Circa 1993. Oddly enough, my Rembrandt is in a subdivision named "Giverny." Rembrandt in Giverny? Maybe it should have been a Monet? That would have been OK, too.
The Elevation "D" Rembrandt was the masterpiece of the model. Full brick front, with half circle windows, a hip roof, and a finished bonus room over the garage all elevated the "D" to the top of the heap. It was the model home in Giverny, and as is common, the model became one of the most popular floor plans to be built. I belive our neighborhood is about 20% Rembrandts, of one elevation or another. I live in a home built to Elevation "C." The "C" has a partial brick front. We added a front porch that makes our "C" unique in the neighborhood.
Elevation "A" was the "plain Jane," base model elevation.
Elevation "B" adds a rocking chair front porch.
Elevation "C" includes brick trim on the left of the front of the house, and a step down in the roof.
But interiors of these three elevations are the same, unless options were chosen to change them.
The two-story family room in the top rendering offers dramatic central height to the interior, and the rendering shows the palladian windows included in the "D" elevation. Our "C" Elevation home has rectangular transom windows in place of the palladians. Most commonly, buyers chose to finish a loft area into a 4th bedroom and/or to add a 5th bedroom/bonus room over the garage. Square footages vary from just over 2200 to about 2800 square feet.
While owners have customized their homes and properties over the last 15 to 18 years, a tour around the area turns up many Rembrandts. You can see the Rembrandt DNA in the photos, and also appreciate the pride homeowners take in personalization of their properties.
Well-Kept Condo offers easy one-floor living in a secured building with covered parking. 2 Bedrooms in a split floor plan offer efficiency and privacy. Private rear porch faces the woods. Beaver Creek Shopping and conveniences are right across the street.
Residents have use of Haddon Hall pool and tennis.
What's not to love?
.... and you are one of our top regular ActiveRain members. We just bought RealEstate.com and are reaching out to AR members to see if you would like to be...blah, blah, blah... our agent in your....code. We will only be registering one agent per ... code, and wanted to know if you are interested."
(Quoted best I could, but probably actually only a reasonable paraphrase. But, actually, it was LEDR who purchased realestate.com.)
Me, "No. Not so much."
Christian: ".......... Oh, Ok. Have a good day."
I was taken back. Never expected to be cold call lead generation telemarketing hustled by AR.
From LEDR? Sure, I guess. But I still have some warm fuzzy for AR. Not as much as I did half an hour ago, but some.
