Welcome to the first home in Ridgecrest Farms, Locust's newest boutique neighborhood-an intimate community planned for just 18 homesites. Situated on nearly ¾ of an acre in a peaceful country setting, this thoughtfully designed semi-custom home lives larger than its square footage. The open-concept, split-bedroom floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office and 2 full baths, with an efficient layout, abundant storage and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. Built from the ground up with quality in mind, this home includes premium framing lumber, Weyerhaeuser Gold subflooring, radiant-barrier roof sheathing, synthetic roofing underlayment, Atlas Pinnacle shingles, fiberglass exterior doors and an upgraded interior trim package. Additional upgrades you may not immediately see include an insulated primary-bedroom wall for added sound control, moisture-resistant bathroom drywall, foundation drainage and an insulated garage. The kitchen is designed to be both beautiful and functional, featuring custom shaker cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, wood drawer boxes and convenient roll-outs, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink and a large walk-in pantry. A 7-foot island provides generous workspace and seating while incorporating the built-in microwave. Upgraded stainless-steel appliances include a gas range with a range hood vented to the exterior. The kitchen flows directly into the dining and living areas, creating an open, spacious feel that's ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The private primary suite features a spacious bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in cultured-marble shower and generous closet space. On the opposite side of the home are two additional bedrooms with large closets, a full bath with linen storage, a dedicated office and a separate laundry room with another linen closet and custom cabinetry above the washer and dryer. LVP flooring runs throughout the home. Storage has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the floor plan, including the walk-in pantry, generous bedroom closets, multiple linen closets, laundry cabinetry and attic storage above the garage-another reason this home lives so comfortably and efficiently. Extend your living space outdoors with a 6' x 20' covered front porch, a spacious 10' x 18' screened back porch perfect for morning coffee, and an adjoining 10' x 16' patio ready for grilling and entertaining. A dedicated outdoor gas line and hot-and-cold exterior hose bib add even more convenience. The oversized 24' x 24' insulated two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and storage and includes a Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener, and dedicated freezer outlet. Enjoy a quiet country setting approximately 10 minutes from Locust Town Center and within easy driving distance of Lake Tillery, Badin Lake, Morrow Mountain State Park and Uwharrie National Forest. Planned Ridgecrest Farms amenities include a fishing pond, walking trail, dog park, picnic area and streetlights. From its efficient, spacious-feeling floor plan and custom cabinetry to the upgraded structural materials and thoughtful details behind the walls, this home was designed and built with an attention to quality that goes well beyond what you typically see in new construction.
