Tucked away on a peaceful acre in one of Morganton’s most desirable small developments, this 2022 custom-built modern ranch is a true showcase of craftsmanship and comfort. Designed to embrace its natural setting, the home features stone and cement siding accented with cypress posts, 42 Jeld-Wen windows, and 3/4" tongue-and-groove hardwood floors throughout. Inside, the open-concept layout welcomes you with a chef’s kitchen boasting high-end appliances, oversized gas range, a 10’ island, walk-in pantry, and custom cabinetry topped with granite surfaces. The dining area—with its striking custom granite banquette table for 10—flows into a spacious family room and out to a large covered patio for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A separate den with vaulted ceiling and fireplace leads to a charming side porch, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at day’s end. Each of the 3 bedrooms enjoys a private ensuite bath and walk-in closet, with the main-level primary retreat offering vaulted ceilings, patio access, and a spa-like bath filled with natural light, custom cabinetry, and direct access to the laundry suite. Additional highlights include custom metalwork throughout, extensive storage, a 2-car garage with a drop zone entry right off the kitchen, and timeless details that make this home truly one of a kind. Convenient to downtown Morganton and I-40, this home blends modern luxury with peaceful living in a setting that feels both private and connected.
