Set on a generous .77-acre homesite in Greenbrook, this custom Homestead Building Company home backs to protected open space and the Neuse River buffer - a wooded natural backdrop off the screened porch that won't be built behind you. It's a standout setting paired with a floor plan built for how people actually live. Inside, 3,527 square feet is anchored by true first-floor living: a main-level primary suite plus two additional bedrooms down. Ten-foot ceilings and an open-concept great room with a gas fireplace and built-ins flow into a chef's kitchen with an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and a dining space made for gathering. A drop-zone mudroom, generous laundry, and a well-placed powder room round out the main level. Step out to a screened porch with its own gas fireplace - the kind of space that turns a backyard into a year-round retreat overlooking the wooded open-space backdrop. Upstairs offers a fourth bedroom with en-suite bath, an expansive game room, and a versatile loft. Need more room to grow? An optional finished study with its own full bath adds approximately 311 square feet - bringing the home to over 3,800 square feet - perfect as a home office, guest retreat, or bonus suite. And storage? It's everywhere. Over 700 square feet of walk-in attic storage, a walk-in pantry, mudroom drop zone, and generous closets throughout mean there's a place for everything - a rare find at this size. The spa-inspired primary bath features a freestanding soaking tub and a zero-entry shower. A three-car garage and timeless board-and-batten and brick farmhouse exterior complete a home that lives as beautifully as it shows. With an estimated completion of April 2027, there's still time to personalize your finishes with the builder.
