About the property

Site-Finished Oak Floors & Back Porch in Wendell Falls

What sets 1816 Lumineer Lane apart is the execution: site-finished white oak floors that run beneath custom trimwork and lead you to a living room anchored by a gas fireplace. Built in 2026 by McNeill Burbank, this 2,225 sq ft bungalow was designed for both everyday ease and purposeful entertaining. The first-floor guest bedroom adds flexible living space for remote work, multi-generational living, or a quiet den.

The heart of the home features thoughtfully chosen finishes — durable oak underfoot, a kitchen scaled for daily life, and energy-conscious systems including a tankless water heater and zoned heat pumps. Upstairs, the primary suite and secondary bedrooms are quietly separated, giving families and guests room to spread out. Three full baths and an open entry plan keep circulation comfortable without wasted square footage.

Step outside to the generous back porch where evenings stretch into backyard barbecues and weekend slow-downs. The 0.12-acre lot is level with a 46-foot frontage on Lumineer Lane and includes a two-car attached garage for storage and staging. HOA membership connects owners to Wendell Falls’ community center, pool, fitness facilities, and miles of maintained trails — amenities that extend your living room into a whole-neighborhood lifestyle.

Priced at $485,000 (about $218/sq ft), this new-construction home aligns with recent Wendell Falls closings and presents a move-in-ready option with premium finishes and modern mechanicals. With quick access to Wendell Falls Parkway and retail centers including Publix a short drive away, the property balances community-oriented living with practical commute routes into Raleigh and the broader Triangle.

Editorial market perspective

Wendell Falls currently sits in a balanced market that slightly favors sellers for new construction. Local data show a median sale price around $390,000 and roughly 3.5 months of inventory — a level that supports steady appreciation without the volatility of a tight market. Average days on market in the broader area are near 92, reflecting that well-priced new homes with community amenities still take time to match buyers’ priorities. Recent nearby closings of new-build homes range from about $430k to $493k, with price-per-square-foot values clustered in the low $200s; 1816 Lumineer Ln is listed at $218/sq ft, squarely in that band.

For buyers, this is a good time to lock in a new home in Wendell Falls: inventory is healthy but demand for builder-quality finishes and on-site amenities remains strong. For sellers and investors, the community’s steady 1-year appreciation and longer-term growth in the Raleigh-Cary MSA suggest continued interest. Monitor local inventory and financing conditions for the best negotiation window, but expect competitive attention on turnkey new construction with efficient systems and community access.
