About this home

Welcome to Chapel Creek, a distinctive estate-home custom neighborhood tucked into the peaceful Wake County countryside between Wake Forest and Zebulon. With no HOA and a community where every home is different, this is a refreshing alternative to the typical cookie-cutter community. This thoughtfully designed new construction home offers approximately 3,857 heated square feet, with the primary suite on the main level and an exceptional floor plan created for both everyday living and entertaining. The heart of the home brings together a spacious family room with gas fireplace, dining area and a large kitchen featuring a 60" x 96" island, 36" range and vent hood. Just beyond the kitchen is one of the home's standout features, a separate pantry/scullery along with a dedicated laundry room and convenient mudroom-style bench and cubbies. The main-level primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a zero-entry shower and built-in seat. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors and takes advantage of the home's country setting. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms, multiple baths, a dedicated office and an impressive gameroom with space for optional built-ins, a wet bar, mini refrigerator and floating shelve, giving everyone room to spread out. And don't overlook the garage space with 3 bays: the plans provide approximately 965 square feet of garage area with three-car capacity, including a separate two-car and one-car garages. The home also includes approximately 202 square feet of screened porch to relax and appreciate your almost 1 acre homesite. Enjoy the character of a custom neighborhood, Wake County schools, no HOA, and a peaceful countryside setting while remaining conveniently positioned between Wake Forest and Zebulon. If you've been looking for more space, a home that doesn't look like every other house on the street, and the freedom that comes with life outside a traditional planned community, Chapel Creek is worth discovering.
