Why wait to build when you can have better than new? Sellers are offering a $5,000 buyer credit to use however you choose- toward closing costs, a rate buy-down, upgrades, or reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. Skip the construction delays, upgrade costs, and unfinished landscaping. This home is already complete, meticulously cared for, and enhanced with thoughtful improvements that make it even better than the day it was built.

The fenced backyard offers just enough outdoor space to enjoy while remaining wonderfully low maintenance. Built in 2024, every major system- including the roof, HVAC, tankless water heater, and appliances, was installed when the home was completed, offering years of worry-free ownership. Natural gas powers the tankless water heater, gas range, and heating system, with service provided by Piedmont Natural Gas. For added peace of mind, the sellers are including a $475 America's Preferred Home Warranty in addition to the remaining Ryan Homes 10-year structural warranty.
