About 1753 Piney Falls Dr

What catches you first is how this newly built bungalow sits within Wendell Falls — just a short walk from the community pool, fitness center and dog park. Built in 2025 by McNeill Burbank, 1753 Piney Falls Drive blends contemporary appointments with practical everyday systems: a tankless water heater, zoned heat pump, and fiber cement exterior on a level 0.08-acre lot with a 26-foot frontage.

Step inside to 1,740 square feet of thoughtfully finished living space. Site-finished hardwood floors run through the main areas and are framed by generous architectural trimwork that elevates the entire interior. The kitchen features 42" maple cabinets and a gas stainless range — details that reward anyone who likes to cook or entertain. The primary suite includes an upgraded shower, while the home’s 2.5 baths and practical storage plan make family routines easy.

Practicality meets modern efficiency here: the home is new and vacant, move-in ready, and built with energy-minded systems that keep operating costs down. The attached two-car garage provides secure parking and storage, and the level lot makes landscaping straightforward. With a shingle roof and clean, low-maintenance exterior materials, this property is designed for owners who want new construction quality without ongoing surprises.

Wendell Falls is a rapidly growing, amenity-rich neighborhood that attracts buyers for its community programming and proximity to Raleigh. Nearby conveniences include Publix at Wendell Falls (under a mile) and convenient access to Wendell Falls Parkway for an easy commute. Listed at $420,900 — aligning with local valuations that place similar new builds in the $400k–$440k range — this home offers new construction finishes and a strong location value proposition. Buyers should note the modest lot size and elementary school ratings when weighing priorities, but for many this house represents a rare opportunity to own a modern, efficient home steps from the neighborhood’s best shared amenities.

Neighborhood & Location

Wendell Falls is a rapidly developing, family-oriented community defined by planned amenities and walkable streets. Residents enjoy a neighborhood pool, fitness center, dog park and miles of community trails, plus nearby grocery and dining options along Wendell Falls Parkway. The development draws young families and professionals who value programmed events, green spaces, and an easy commute to Raleigh. School ratings vary — middle and high schools are average while the closest elementary is rated below average — so buyers often balance community lifestyle with school considerations.

Market Insights

Wendell Falls is currently a market that favors sellers modestly: inventory sits near 2.5 months and average days on market is roughly 35 days, indicating brisk demand for new construction. Median sales in the area run about $410,000, and recent comparable closings nearby range from roughly $385k to $490k depending on size and lot — supporting a valuation range for this 1,740-SF new home between $400k and $440k (midpoint ≈ $420k). New single-family homes in Wendell Falls continue to attract buyers because of built-in community amenities — pool, fitness center, dog park and trails — and proximity to Raleigh. Rental demand is healthy as well: a market rental estimate near $2,000/month translates to a gross rental yield in line with recent new-construction listings. With low inventory and steady appreciation (about 5% year-over-year stated in area reports), buyers should expect competitive showings; sellers still benefit from strong market positioning. For buyers, getting pre-approved and moving swiftly will be key; for investors, the combination of new-construction quality and local amenity draw supports both resale and rental strategies.
