* * * Up to $30K incentive with use of preferred lender - Through 10/31!! * * * There's a warm, welcoming feel to this English Country-elevation Ashe home in Ballard Woods from the moment you arrive, right down to the smart door delivery center that keeps packages safe and out of the weather until you're ready for them. Step inside and the main level settles into an easy, everyday rhythm, with the owner's suite tucked away on the first floor for easy, one-level living right where you need it most. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main living space, built for real cooking, quick weeknight dinners, slow weekend mornings, and everything in between, the kind of space that naturally becomes the gathering spot no matter what's on the menu. A cafe just off the kitchen is ideal for everyday meals or entertaining, and the living room right alongside it centers the whole main level, the natural gathering spot for movie nights and quiet evenings in with the people who matter most. A separate messy kitchen keeps the main kitchen looking picture-perfect for company, and the walk-in pantry just steps away makes restocking simple whenever you need it. Tucked nearby, a dedicated pocket office offers a quiet, out-of-the-way spot for work-from-home days, homework, or catching up on life admin without any of it taking over the rest of the house. Near the garage, a mudroom and drop zone keep the everyday shuffle of shoes, bags, and keys under control before it ever reaches the main living space. Outside, the covered patio extends the living space into the outdoors, made for slow mornings with coffee and relaxed evenings winding down, and the fenced yard adds even more room to spread out, rain or shine. The owner's suite is a true retreat right on the main level, centered on a spa-like super shower designed for a little daily indulgence at the start or end of every day. A secondary bedroom, also on the first floor, comes with its own private bath, giving guests or visiting loved ones a comfortable space of their own without ever needing the stairs, and a half bath nearby keeps everyday life convenient for everyone else. Head upstairs and a game room offers room to spread out for movie nights, hobbies, or a second gathering space, with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom rounding out the level, giving everyone in the household a little more room to call their own. Every New Home Inc. home here comes with Smart. Healthy. New. features built in, including smart home technology, whole-home MERV 11 air filtration, TechShield roof decking, and independent HERS energy testing, so the everyday comfort of this home is backed by what's built into the walls and the systems behind them, not just what you can see when you walk through. Beyond the front door, Ballard Woods places you close to the everyday charm of downtown Fuquay-Varina and downtown Lillington, so mornings stay simple, errands stay quick, and weekends stay wide open for whatever comes next. Come see this Ashe home in person and picture your own life unfolding here, from busy weekday mornings to relaxed, easy weekends spent right at home.
Ballard Woods is a community of new homes in Fuquay-Varina, NC, located at the corner of Ballard Road and US-401 in Harnett County. New Home Inc. is building twenty new homesites here, averaging about a half acre each, within the established Ballard Woods neighborhood. That means new construction in a setting that already grew in. The canopy is mature, the streets are settled, the landscaping has filled in, and the community pool and clubhouse are already in place. Buyers usually choose between a new house on raw ground or an older house under grown trees. Here you get both. Homes are New Home Inc.'s Signature Series, ranging from 1,800 to more than 3,200 square feet, with flexible layouts that include options for flex spaces, pocket offices, and first-floor bedrooms. Every New Home Inc. home is certified through Eco Select Energy and rated on the HERS Index by an independent energy rater. A home built to code scores 100. New Home Inc. homes average a HERS score of 66, roughly a third less energy than a code-built home, verified by third-party testing on the envelope and duct system before you get the keys. That means a house that holds its temperature and a power bill that does not swing every time the weather does. Commuting is straightforward. NCDOT completed Phase 1 of the Complete 540 project in 2024, extending the Triangle Expressway and adding an interchange at US-401. Ballard Woods sits on US-401, so reaching the expressway means heading north on the same road you live on. Downtown Raleigh and Research Triangle Park are both about forty-five minutes. Downtown Fuquay-Varina is thirteen minutes north, with restaurants, breweries, and Mineral Spring Park. Downtown Angier is thirteen minutes east and the Cape Fear River is ten minutes south. Schools are LaFayette Elementary, Harnett Central Middle, and Harnett Central High, all part of Harnett County Schools. Contact New Home Inc. to schedule a visit and walk the homesites.
