23 Juju Dr Unit (Lot 28), Clayton, NC 27520

Set farther back from Juju Drive on a level, private 1.2‑acre lot, this newly built transitional home by JSJ Builders delivers scale and everyday comfort without sacrificing modern detail. The exterior combines board‑and‑batten siding with stone accents and vinyl trim under an architectural shingle roof — a contemporary farmhouse silhouette that reads equally at casual weekend barbecues or formal entertaining.

Step inside to an open, purposeful main floor: a formal dining room anchors one side while a chef‑ready kitchen centers the plan with a generous island and sightlines to the family room, where a fireplace creates a natural gathering point. The owner’s suite is thoughtfully placed on the first floor and includes a walk‑in closet and a spa‑style bath with dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower—designed for real life and real storage.

Upstairs expands the living footprint with three additional bedrooms, all with walk‑in closets, two full baths, and a large media room that can flex as a playroom, home office, workout studio or second living area. Practical systems include central air, an electric heat pump, public water service, and a septic system (buyers should confirm capacity and maintenance). A three‑car attached garage plus generous driveway parking provides room for hobby gear, service vehicles or a weekend project.

What makes this parcel especially rare in Cedardale is the lot size: more than an acre of usable, level yard gives options for future outdoor living, gardens or play areas. The home is move‑in ready and priced competitively at $529,706 (approximately $214/sqft), with recent new‑build sales nearby showing strong demand for homes of this scale and quality. The community has a modest HOA with a $250 annual fee; buyers should review covenants as part of their due diligence.

Located about 5.5 miles from downtown Clayton, this property balances quiet suburban living with easy access to local parks, healthcare and regional routes. Polenta Elementary and Swift Creek Middle (both highly rated) serve the neighborhood, making this an attractive option for families seeking new construction, more land and thoughtful design in Johnston County.
