About This Home

As of March 2026

Imagine waking up in a home that's as functional as it is beautiful. The Holly floor plan, Farmhouse style, at 73 Merle Way in Wendell, NC, brings together open spaces, modern features, and thoughtful details that make everyday living easier and more enjoyable. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2,430 square feet, this home is designed to adapt to your lifestyle. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, where quartz countertops, a large island, and upgraded cabinetry set the stage for everything from quiet morning coffee to weekend gatherings. The unique messy kitchen keeps the main area clutter-free while giving you extra space for storage and prep. Just steps away, the café dining space opens beneath a stunning vaulted ceiling, adding a touch of elegance to everyday meals. When it's time to unwind, the family room is ready with a cozy fireplace and built-in cabinets—perfect for curling up with a book, watching a movie, or entertaining friends. A pocket office nearby gives you the flexibility to work from home or create a personal organization hub. Head upstairs on oak tread stairs and you'll find a serene owner's suite retreat with an en-suite bathroom featuring sleek quartz counters and TWO walk in closets. Three additional bedrooms provide comfort for family and guests, while bathrooms throughout the home reflect the same attention to style and function. Outdoor living is easy here too. The covered rear porch offers a private space to enjoy fresh air year-round, whether it's morning coffee on a quiet weekday or grilling with friends on the weekend. Beyond design, the Holly includes smart and healthy living features you'll only find with New Home Inc. A Smart Door Delivery Center provides secure, climate-controlled package delivery, while energy-efficient systems, fresh air ventilation, and advanced filtration contribute to a healthier indoor environment. At 73 Merle Way, you're not just buying a home—you're choosing a smarter, healthier, and more connected way to live. Don't just picture it—come see it for yourself.
