Newly Built 4-Bed Ranch on Just Over an Acre in Smithfield
Set on just over an acre, this newly built split‑ranch offers a rare combination: wide open outdoor space with the thoughtful details of a quality new home. The lot gives you genuine room to add a pool, create a large garden, or leave broad lawns for play — and the screened porch and grilling deck extend the living area outdoors so evenings stretch a little longer.
Step inside and craftsmanship is everywhere. The main living room is defined by coffered ceilings that bring architectural weight without ostentation; wainscoting and custom wood built‑ins in closets and storage spaces reinforce that sense of careful construction. The single‑level primary suite is privately positioned on its own wing and includes a beautifully tiled walk‑in shower designed for both comfort and everyday function. Across the home, three additional bedrooms and two baths are arranged to provide separation and practicality for family life or visiting guests.
Upstairs a generous bonus room with a full bath gives you flexible square footage — an ideal guest suite, home office, or playroom — while an even larger unfinished area, left with sheetrock in place, invites future expansion. Finish it now for immediate added living space or keep it as exceptional storage; either way, the shell is ready and engineered for straightforward completion.
Built to HERO Program standards, the home incorporates energy‑efficient features intended to lower operating costs and improve long‑term comfort. Practical conveniences include a three‑car garage and an open plan that keeps day‑to‑day circulation easy and efficient. This is new construction done with restraint and attention to detail: materials and layouts that will sit well with both immediate move‑in buyers and those planning long‑term personalization.

Posted 03/06/2026, the home is new on market and reflects a premium often seen for new single‑family construction with acreage and energy‑efficient HERO certification in the Smithfield area.
