There's something different about coming home to the water. This new construction home sits in a peaceful rural setting with thoughtful design and elevated finishes throughout. Double mahogany doors open to a light-filled living space where 22-foot cathedral ceilings and a shiplap electric fireplace create an impressive first impression. The kitchen is designed to be both beautiful and functional with imported Calacatta Vallezzi quartz countertops, birch soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances with an air-fry convection oven and a spacious walk-in pantry. Natural oak LVP flooring runs throughout the home, while custom walk-in closet systems, recessed lighting and carefully selected details add function to each of the three bedrooms. The primary suite feels tucked away from the rest of the home with cathedral ceilings, a large custom walk-in closet and a bath finished with Calacatta Dorado porcelain tile and a Woodbridge Venetian whirlpool tub with jetted and air-massage features. Bluetooth speakers in each bathroom and a smart front door lock add a few modern conveniences. But the setting may be the best part. A 30-foot partially covered rear porch gives you a place to slow down, entertain or simply take in the waterfront view and spacious backyard. Here, you can enjoy a little more room, a little more quiet and the feel of country living while still being conveniently located to Holly Springs and Research Triangle Park, with Fort Bragg approximately an hour away. $5K use as you choose builder incentive!
