1,900 sqft new-construction home with quartz, energy-efficient appliances, and community amenities
Sales comparison approach using recent new construction sales in Preserve at Marks Creek. Adjusted for lot size and interior finishes.
This board-and-batten craftsman, newly finished in 2026, stakes its claim on Mar Bonita with a thoughtful floor plan built for everyday living. The façade’s classic detailing gives way to a bright, open main level where the primary suite sits for one-level convenience—an increasingly rare feature in modern builds. Quality touches are visible in the quartz countertops, energy-efficient appliances, and clean lines that define the kitchen and living areas.
At roughly 1,900 square feet, the layout balances practicality and comfort: public spaces on the main floor flow to the primary suite and powder room, while additional private bedrooms and a full bath occupy the second story—ideal for families or a home office + guest suite combination. Central air and natural gas heating are zoned for comfort; the two-car attached garage and paved driveway add low-maintenance functionality.
Outside, the 0.09-acre lot requires minimal upkeep and sits within Preserve at Marks Creek, a community designed around active, social living. Residents will appreciate the onsite clubhouse, pool, and fishing pond, plus sidewalks that encourage short strolls through the neighborhood. The home’s board-and-batten exterior and craftsman styling give it curb appeal that stands out among new construction offerings.
Location is a practical selling point: Marks Creek Road is a quick connection to local retail and healthcare, with Knightdale Station Park (approximately 2.5 miles), Shoppes at Midway Plantation (about 3 miles), and WakeMed Knightdale Healthplex (3.5 miles) nearby. Lockhart Elementary, highly rated at 8/10, is under two miles away. Priced at $359,890—about $189 per square foot—this home aligns with recent sales in the community and presents both an attractive entry for owner-occupiers and a strong rental prospect for investors.

Knightdale’s Preserve at Marks Creek currently sits in a seller’s market. Inventory across the area runs around 2.5 months—well below balanced-market levels—and average days on market hover near 30 days, so new listings that are competitively priced and move-in ready tend to see quick interest. Median sale price for the broader area is near $350,000 with one-year appreciation around 5% and five-year gains near 25%, reflecting steady demand driven by new development and commuters to Raleigh. New-construction single-family homes in this neighborhood have recently closed between $355,000 and $370,000, producing price-per-square-foot metrics in the $187–$195 range; this listing’s $189/sf aligns squarely with those comps. For buyers, that means limited negotiating bandwidth but a reliable growth profile; for investors, estimated monthly rent near $2,000 (roughly $1.05/sf) and a gross yield around 6.7% suggest attractive near-term cashflow in a market with low vacancy for modern units. Given tight inventory and quick comps activity, this is a favorable window to act—especially for buyers seeking new construction with community amenities and main-level primary living.
