About this home
Imagine coming home to 2.08 acres of pure privacy in at 36 Henry Crest, where mornings start on a covered deck overlooking your own slice of matured trees and evenings end with a walk down to the community lake. This quick move-in Apex floor plan is ready soon, and it was built for the way life actually happens. Inside the open concept pulls you in immediately. The kitchen tells its own story: a stunning gourmet layout for hosting, backed by a private prep space so the mess stays out of sight while the party stays in view. A Smart Door Delivery Center keeps packages, shoes, and backpacks from taking over the entryway. Dual offices mean two people can work from home without stepping on each other's calls. Downstairs also offers a private guest bedroom with its own walk-in shower, perfect for visiting family or a live-in arrangement that still feels like its own space. Head up the oak tread stairs and the owner's suite delivers a true retreat, complete with a zero entry, spa-inspired shower meant for unwinding at the end of the day. The extended game room upstairs gives everyone room to spread out, whether that means movie nights, a playroom, or a home gym to use at your leisure. Every detail here was chosen with modern life in mind: a Ring doorbell, smart locks, an Ecobee thermostat, Wi-Fi garage access, and Cat 6 wiring keep you connected, while MERV 11 air filtration (upgradeable to MERV 16), fresh air intake cycling, TechShield roof decking, and independent HERS testing keep the air you breathe and the energy you use working in your favor. Then there's Cattail Preserve itself: 80-plus acres of lake with 2.5 miles of shoreline for fishing, kayaking, and boating, a resort-style pool and clubhouse for weekend lounging, fire pits and a pergola for evenings with neighbors, and walking and golf cart paths that make it easy to slow down without leaving home. Clayton, Zebulon, and Wendell are all just minutes away when you want dining, shopping, or entertainment.
