* * * Up to $30K incentive with use of preferred lender - Through 10/31!! * * * There's an easy, welcoming feel to this Craftsman-elevation Clayton home in Ballard Woods from the moment you arrive, with a covered front porch setting the tone and a smart door delivery center keeping packages safe and out of the weather until you're ready for them. Step inside and the foyer leads straight to a versatile pocket office, ready for work-from-home days, homework, or whatever keeps daily life moving without taking over the rest of the house on a busy day. Just steps away, the kitchen is built around an oversized island with two-sided seating, upgraded with gourmet touches that make it as functional as it is good-looking, the kind of space that naturally becomes the gathering spot no matter what's on the menu. The adjoining cafe is ideal for everyday meals or entertaining, and the living room right off the kitchen centers around a fireplace, the natural gathering spot for movie nights and quiet evenings in with the people who matter most. A separate messy kitchen, complete with an extra sink and window, keeps the main kitchen picture-perfect for company, with a power pantry close by to keep everything organized and within easy reach whenever you need to restock. Just off the garage, a dedicated owners entry makes coming and going simple, whether it's groceries, gear, or the everyday shuffle of shoes and bags in and out of the house on a normal week. Outside, the covered porch extends the living space outdoors, made for slow mornings and relaxed evenings, rain or shine, and the fenced yard adds even more room to spread out, whether that's morning coffee, an evening outside, or just a little extra privacy. The owner's suite is a true retreat, centered on a spa-like super shower designed for a little daily indulgence at the start or end of every day, with the laundry room conveniently accessible from both the suite and the main hallway. Upstairs, a bonus second floor adds a game room along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath, giving everyone in the household a little more room to spread out, plus unfinished walk-in storage for whatever life brings home, from holiday decorations to hobby gear that needs a place to land, out of the way but still close at hand. 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 Clayton home in person today and picture your own life unfolding here, from busy weekday mornings to relaxed, easy weekends spent right at home in Ballard Woods. * Photos for representational purposes. *
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.
