About 1049 Zelkova Ln

This three-story NOLA floorplan at 1049 Zelkova Lane places practical design and contemporary finishes where you need them most. Enter on the ground level to a private bedroom suite with a full bath and walk-in shower—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office with its own privacy. A two-car garage and HVAC system are included, underscoring the low-maintenance, turnkey appeal of a newly built TriPointe home.

Ascend to the main living level and discover an open-plan layout anchored by a gourmet kitchen and a large walk-in pantry; the plan was laid out to support everyday routines and larger gatherings alike. Clean lines and modern materials carry through the living and dining spaces, letting you personalize finishes while benefiting from thoughtful storage and sightlines across the living areas.

The upper level houses the primary suite and additional bedrooms, delivering separation between public and private spaces across the three floors. With approximately 2,205 finished square feet, the home balances generous bedroom count (four total) and 3.5 baths with efficient circulation—perfect for buyers seeking space without excess upkeep.

Location is a defining feature: Twinleaf Townes is sited just 0.5 miles from I-40, providing fast access to UNC (about 4 miles), Duke (about 8 miles), Research Triangle Park and Southpoint Mall. That commute-friendly placement makes this an excellent choice for university faculty, RTP professionals, or anyone who values quick highway access. Note: photos represent the NOLA plan as shown in a different home or homesite; specific finishes, features, and options may vary by unit. This move-in-ready listing blends new-construction warranties and modern planning with the convenience of Chapel Hill’s central corridor.
