This new-construction ranch delivers single-level living in a smart 1,080 SF footprint on Hazelton Rd in Gates County. It has a split-bedroom layout, no wasted space, and low-maintenance finishes that are built for Northeastern NC weather.

The primary suite sits privately on one side of the home with its own bath and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath on the opposite side, which offers good separation for family, guests, or a home office.

An open kitchen, dining, and great room combination anchors the home, with a walk-in pantry and dedicated laundry room adding functionality. As-built exterior finishes differ from the rendering: white board-and-batten siding at the ground level with white vinyl shake in the gable -- clean, low-maintenance, built for coastal Carolina weather.

The builder chose to add a side carport, offering covered parking out of the weather and summer sun, plus storage/workspace potential. A covered front porch rounds out the curb appeal.

Note: exterior finishes and carport shown reflect the as-built home and differ from the rendering. Closing cost assistance available with use of preferred lender.
