Step inside a freshly finished Meritage Homes plan where design-forward materials take center stage: the kitchen island is topped in marble-look white quartz, framed by slate cabinets and anchored by reddish-brown EVP flooring that runs through the main living areas. At 1,926 square feet this two-story layout balances scale and efficiency — an open main level for everyday living and private bedroom wings upstairs.
The heart of the home is the kitchen and family room pairing. A generous island creates a natural gathering spot for quick breakfasts and homework, while the layout keeps sight lines to the living area for easy entertaining. Thoughtful finish choices — durable EVP, quartz counters and modern cabinetry — give the interior a contemporary, low-maintenance feel without sacrificing warmth. A powder room and coat closet off the entry keep the main floor functional and guest-ready.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a roomy footprint, a walk-in closet and a spa-style bath that extends the clean, contemporary palette seen throughout the home. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible space for a home office, guests, or children. Mechanical systems include forced-air heating and central AC; a two-car attached garage adds everyday convenience.
Outside, the yard is compact and level (approximately 0.081 acres), which translates to easy upkeep and the chance to create a low-maintenance outdoor living area or patio. Living in Marshburn Landing means access to community amenities — a pool, playgrounds and dog parks — that expand your usable living space beyond the lot, and the home sits about 1.5 miles from downtown Wendell and roughly 2 miles from Wendell Falls Shopping Center for errands and dining.
Priced at $324,000 ($168/sqft) and built for 2026 occupancy, this new construction home fits buyers seeking modern finishes, proximity to Raleigh via nearby I-87 (about 2.5 miles), and the convenience of a newer community. Buyers should verify builder warranty details, HOA covenants, and lot boundaries during their due diligence. With limited inventory in the Wendell market, this move-in-ready plan represents a practical entry into a growing pocket of Wake County with commuter access and community-focused amenities.
