Modern 4-Bed Townhome Steps from Apex Friendship Schools
What sets 2289 Bay Minette Sta #533 apart is its immediate adjacency to the Apex Friendship schools and the lifestyle that brings: short walks to elementary, middle and high schools and a neighborhood designed around family-friendly amenities. Located in the 80-acre Friendship Station community, this brand-new three-story townhome balances thoughtful design and hard finishes for families who prioritize convenience and quality.
Inside, the floorplan emphasizes scale and functionality. Nine-foot ceilings and generous windows create airy, open rooms across 2,227 square feet. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, 42-inch cabinetry, and GE stainless steel appliances—details that anchor both weekday routines and weekend dinners. An intelligently located bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor make for a flexible guest suite, in-law option, or dedicated home office without sacrificing privacy.
The primary suite occupies the top level and reads like a private retreat: roomy walk-in closet and a well-appointed bath that uses high-end fixtures and tilework for a modern finish. Two additional bedrooms and an upper-floor laundry room complete the third level, keeping daily flow efficient for busy households. Practicality continues with a two-car attached garage and no-basement, low-maintenance lot—perfect for buyers who want new construction without a long punch-list.
Outside your door, Friendship Station’s amenity center—pool, cabana, playground, picnic area and play lawn—functions like an extended backyard and is less than a half-mile from the unit. The community’s planned layout and the property’s location on Bay Minette Station make errands and school runs simple. With a compact 0.05-acre lot, private outdoor space is modest, but the community amenities expand living options for families and social gatherings.
Priced at $476,650 and offered vacant and move-in ready from the builder, this townhome offers a turnkey entry into one of Apex’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. Buyers should confirm HOA details and builder warranty information prior to contract, but for those seeking new construction with premium finishes, walkable schools and strong local appreciation, this Friendship Station home is a compelling choice.
