New 4-Bed, 3-Bath Home on Nearly Half-Acre Corner Lot
What sets this Eastwood-built home apart is its nearly half-acre corner parcel — a rare, level lot at the intersection of Black Forest Pointe Trail and Cedar Run Court that expands the feeling of space beyond the front porch. Built in 2026, the two-story, traditional-style residence offers 2,417 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space with curb appeal rooted in classic vinyl siding and a welcoming front porch.
Step inside to an open main level where the family room and kitchen are designed for everyday life and gatherings. The kitchen centers on a large island and connects to a formal dining room for holiday dinners or a flexible work-from-home station. A convenient first-floor guest suite provides privacy for visitors or multi-generational living, while a rear patio extends entertaining outdoors — perfect for grilling, kids’ play, or simply enjoying the wide backyard.
Upstairs, a loft creates a comfortable secondary living area ideal for media nights, a homework hub, or a home office. The primary suite is intentionally private, with a walk-in shower, separate water closet, expansive walk-in closet and abundant linen storage. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with double sinks. Practical systems include zoned electric heat pump HVAC and central air for year-round comfort.
Practical conveniences round out the package: a 2-car attached garage, driveway parking for additional vehicles, public water service, and a septic system (buyers should confirm maintenance requirements). Located within the Black Forest Pointe community, the home sits minutes from downtown Benson (about 3.5 miles) and provides straightforward access to I-40 (roughly 6 miles), making commutes to Raleigh manageable while preserving a quieter, semi-rural setting. With its combination of modern finishes, flexible floor plan, and a generous lot, this property is well suited to families, buyers seeking space for outdoor hobbies, or those wanting a new-construction home in a growing Johnston County community.

A factual market snapshot around 188 Black Forest Pointe Trl #46.
The Benson market is currently favoring sellers: inventory sits at roughly three months, and median area appreciation has climbed about 12% over the last year. Triangle MLS data shows an average days-on-market near 55 days for similar listings, and recent comparable sales in Black Forest Pointe support a new-construction price-per-square-foot near $175–$180. For single-family homes, particularly new builds on larger lots, demand has remained robust driven by buyers seeking additional square footage within commutable distance to Raleigh. This property’s list price of $426,469 aligns with recent comps (price-per-square-foot ≈ $176) and the estimated valuation range of $420K–$430K, suggesting competitive positioning.
Buyers should be prepared for modest competition given low inventory and accelerating values, while investors may find the rental market supportive (estimated rent ≈ $2,200/month).
