Brand-New 3BR Ranch with Screened Patio and Fireplace
What immediately stands out at 304 Morning Star Drive is the attention to finish and the ease of single-level living. This newly built, 1,720 sq ft ranch rests at the end of a cul-de-sac in Brayden and offers thoughtful, elevated fixtures without the fuss. The open plan brings the kitchen, dining area and family room together around a fireplace with a Wescott mantel — a warm, livable center for everyday life.
The gourmet kitchen was clearly selected with both form and function in mind: Brellin flat-panel cabinetry in crisp white, Level 4 Helix quartz countertops, and a herringbone tile backsplash in ideal gray frame a Profile stainless gas range. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home for durability and a cohesive look across the public rooms and bedrooms. The family room’s sightlines extend toward the screened-in patio and outdoor fireplace, an intentional indoor-outdoor pairing that faces west for evening comfort and sunset views.
The primary suite reads like a peaceful retreat: generous proportions, a spa-inspired bath anchored by a 60x60 tile shower with frameless glass, and finishes that echo the kitchen’s neutral, modern palette. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for a home office, guest room, or hobby area. Practical features include a 2-car attached garage, central HVAC, forced-air gas heating, and public utilities provided by reliable local services.
Outside, the yard sits on a level 0.17-acre lot with low-maintenance landscaping under HOA care. The screened patio with its outdoor fireplace expands entertaining options through much of the year, while the cul-de-sac location reduces through-traffic and enhances privacy. Located just 2.5 miles from Davie Medical Center and roughly 5 miles from Tanglewood Park, the property balances suburban calm with convenient access to recreation and services. Comps in Brayden show consistent demand for new construction, and the list price of $321,208 (about $187/sq ft) positions this home competitively against recently closed models in the neighborhood.
This is a move-in ready option for buyers who want modern finishes, one-level convenience, and the benefits of a new community without waiting on custom build timelines. With an HOA that handles lawn care and common-area upkeep, 304 Morning Star Drive is well-suited to families, downsizers, and professionals seeking low-maintenance living close to Winston-Salem and local amenities.

A factual market snapshot around 304 Morning Star Dr.
Davie County’s Brayden neighborhood currently sits in a balanced-to-leaning-seller market. Local inventory is tight — roughly 3.2 months of supply — and average days on market around 45 indicates steady buyer interest without a feeding frenzy. Recent comparable new builds in Brayden closed from roughly $315K to $440K depending on size and lot; those sales underscore ongoing demand for move-in-ready product. New construction in this pocket performs well because buyers value modern specifications and low-maintenance HOA services; rental demand also appears healthy, with estimated monthly rents near $2,200 and a gross rental yield around 8.2% for investors.
For buyers, this means reasonable negotiating room on competitively-priced new listings like 304 Morning Star Dr, but not open-ended discounts: sellers continue to see offers within weeks. The HOA fee of $1,597 annually is a material consideration — it reduces homeowner chores but should be factored into carry costs. For sellers, the present dynamics reward well-priced, well-finished inventory. Overall, steady appreciation (about 5% over the past year and roughly 20% over five years in the broader market) and low months of inventory make now a good window to transact in Brayden, especially for owners seeking modern, energy-efficient construction and convenient commuting into Winston-Salem.
