Fresh One-Level New Build with Covered Porches on Elm St
A thoroughly modern answer to easy, single-level living arrives at 1021 Elm St. Completed in 2026, this 1,158-square-foot home opens from a covered front porch into a welcoming living area that transitions naturally into the dining zone and an efficient, well-appointed kitchen—ideal for casual dinners, game nights, or weekday routines. The kitchen includes extended bar seating and a walk-in pantry that keeps everyday essentials tucked away but within reach.
The floorplan is practical and privacy-minded: a split-bedroom arrangement places the primary suite at one end of the home with its own private bath, while two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath—perfect for remote work, guests, or a nursery. A central hallway hosts linen storage and a stacked laundry area, a thoughtful inclusion that conserves usable living space.
Outdoor living is understated and usable: a covered rear porch complements the covered front porch, giving you two sheltered spots to relax, entertain, or catch a breeze without the fuss of extensive maintenance. The compact footprint keeps yard work minimal while still offering room for container gardening or a small seating area.
This listing comes with meaningful buyer incentives: the seller will offer up to $4,498.50 toward buyer’s closing costs with an acceptable offer, and up to $8,997 in seller credit is available when the buyer uses the seller’s preferred lender—amounts to be reflected on the Closing Disclosure. Priced at $299,900, the home represents new construction value within Kannapolis with contemporary finishes and a practical layout built for easy day-to-day living.
Whether you’re downsizing, buying your first home, or seeking a low-maintenance option close to local amenities, 1021 Elm St delivers straightforward, single-level comfort with modern conveniences and smart financial incentives to help you close.

This listing is competitively positioned at $299,900, which aligns with the valuation midpoint provided for this parcel (estimated midpoint $299,900; price per sq. ft. roughly $259). In the current Kannapolis market, newly built single-level homes like this attract particular interest from buyers seeking low-maintenance layouts and modern finishes.
