Brand-New 4BR/3BA Craftsman with Screened Porch and Study
The Craftsman silhouette of 217 Marvel Dr #126 announces itself on a level 0.12-acre lot in The Point — classic curb appeal with modern details. Step inside this Rosemary Collection home and you’ll notice finishes chosen for everyday life: hardwood-style flooring, an oversized square island, abundant cabinetry, and an intelligently placed walk-in pantry with its own window. The kitchen’s sink sits beneath dual windows, giving an easy reference point for morning routines without sacrificing privacy.
Designed for flexible living, the main level includes a thoughtful first-floor guest suite with a full bath — ideal for long-term guests or a multi-generational household — plus a private study that would serve equally well as a home office or homework room. The open family area connects to a screened porch, extending living space into the yard while keeping insects at bay. Upstairs, the primary suite, two additional bedrooms and a roomy loft offer separation and comfort for every household member.
Builders and buyers will appreciate practical systems: central forced-air heating, zoned central air conditioning, a two-car attached garage, and a straightforward level driveway off Marvel Drive. The 2,399 square feet are arranged to balance private spaces with generous communal areas; extras like the fireplace and additional windows brighten the rear living spaces and create versatile vignettes for furniture and entertaining.
Location is a strong part of the story. The Point community is rolling out amenity spaces — clubhouse, fitness center, playground and a resort-style pool slated for completion by summer — that add lifestyle value without a long commute. Families will value proximity to Rolesville Elementary (0.9 mi), Rolesville High (0.6 mi) and Rolesville Middle (1.6 mi). With new construction demand in this corner of Wake County, this Rosemary Collection home is move-in ready and positioned for long-term appeal.

A factual market snapshot around 217 Marvel Dr #126.
Wake Forest / Rolesville is trading as a balanced market where new construction remains in demand. Current local data shows a median sale price near $450,000, roughly 5% appreciation over the past year and 25% over five years. Inventory sits at about 2.5 months—lean but not hyper-competitive—while average days on market are approximately 45 days. For single-family homes in The Point and similar nearby neighborhoods, recent comps for new builds have settled between $450K and $470K and average price-per-square-foot in the low $190s.
This combination makes it a solid time for buyers who value new-construction benefits (warranties, modern systems, low initial maintenance) but want to avoid the higher premiums seen in ultra-supply-constrained markets. Sellers and builders continue to see steady interest, particularly from families drawn to the area’s schools and planned community amenities. Low-to-moderate inventory in the segment suggests that competitively priced, well-appointed new homes—like this one—tend to attract showings and offers within typical market timelines. Verify HOA and amenity completion timelines as part of any offer.
