Exceptional new construction checks all the boxes: easy one-level living, quality finishes, thoughtful design and a location just around the corner from stunning hiking trails and beautiful Lake James. This 3BR/2BA home offers 1,453 square feet with a popular split-bedroom layout that creates privacy and space. A generous foyer and beautiful front door with sidelights welcome abundant natural light, which continues into the bright, relaxed kitchen, dining and living area. Rich knotty alder soft-close cabinetry with furniture-style legs, a large prep island, gorgeous granite countertops and a pantry closet give the kitchen warmth, character and a distinctly custom look. Six-inch luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout. Enjoying its own side of the home, the spacious primary suite features a dual-sink vanity, walk-in shower, custom cabinetry and an impressively large walk-in closet. A dedicated laundry room includes cabinetry for added storage. Crisp white board-and-batten siding, black-framed windows and an architectural shingle roof deliver outstanding curb appeal. A roomy covered front porch invites slow mornings, while the covered back deck with black metal grid railing is ready for grilling or simply enjoying the large backyard. An insulated two-car garage includes a smart door opener controlled from your phone and pull-down stairs for easy attic access. Quality details continue with 2x6 construction, six-inch gutters, oversized downspouts, a Trane WeatherGuard 2.5-ton heat pump, whole-house water filtration and a tall walk-in crawlspace offering valuable storage. Even the exterior faucets were thoughtfully planned, with hot and cold water at the front and cold water at the rear. Close to schools, downtown Morganton, Lake James and area hiking trails, with no city taxes.
