What sets 5126 Colchester Ct #55 apart the moment you arrive is the lot — nearly an acre of level yard inside Cardiff Glyn that gives this single-story craftsman real breathing room. The covered front porch, classic gable lines and architectural-shingle roof present a composed, modern-ranch silhouette while the long driveway and three-car attached garage make daily life effortless for households with multiple vehicles and hobbies that need storage.
Step inside to 2,100 square feet of thoughtfully detailed living space. Engineered hardwood runs through the main rooms; coffered ceilings add presence to the great room and primary suite; and durable luxury vinyl tile anchors the laundry and baths. The primary bathroom features a tiled shower that reads clean and contemporary. Systems are new and practical — central AC with a heat-pump heating system — and a septic system is already installed for this rural-residential parcel.
The home’s single-level plan is designed for accessible living and flexible furnishings. Living and dining spaces open toward the rear covered patio, creating an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm for weekend barbecues or quiet evenings. With modern finishes throughout and a neutral palette, the house is move-in ready while still offering a straightforward path for personal landscaping or exterior upgrades on the expansive lot.
Location is quietly strategic: Cardiff Glyn sits about five miles from Lake Norman for boating and water recreation, while Catawba Elementary (1.7 miles) and Bandys High School (2.8 miles) are nearby; Mill Creek Middle is about 2.6 miles away. NC Highway 10 is roughly 1.5 miles from the neighborhood, connecting you to the broader Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton metro area. Priced at $402,200 (about $192 per square foot), this new construction craftsman-ranch sits competitively against recent nearby sales of larger new builds and represents a compelling option for buyers seeking new systems, generous outdoor acreage, and a three-car garage in a balanced local market.
