5140 Cardinal Ridge Way, Wendell, NC 27591

Blonde EVP flooring and marble-look white quartz countertops set a calm, contemporary tone the moment you step through the door of 5140 Cardinal Ridge Way. This Meritage-built home in Marshburn Landing stretches across 2,143 square feet with an open main level designed for everyday life and effortless entertaining. Almond cabinetry, neutral beige carpeting in the upper-level bedrooms, and clean, modern fixtures tie the palette together while leaving room for personal finishes.

The floor plan places entertaining and utility where you want them: a generous great room flows to the dining area and kitchen, while a two-car attached garage and efficient laundry space keep daily routines easy. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private bath and comfortable closet space; three additional bedrooms share a thoughtfully arranged bath. A loft and a small study nook provide work-from-home flexibility without sacrificing bedroom count.

Outside, the lot is efficient—3,561 square feet (approximately 0.082 acres) with level topography and a wooded backdrop that gives a quieter suburban feel. The community’s scale and new-construction character mean lower maintenance obligations compared with older stock. Practical systems include central A/C, forced-air heating, and an asphalt shingle roof; the property is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy pending final verifications.

Priced at $341,000 — about $159 per square foot — this home sits below the local median, offering immediate value compared with nearby new builds that have recently closed in the high $360k–$375k range. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a family trading up, or an investor evaluating rental potential (estimated market rent around $2,000/month), this Meritage residence is a strong entry into Wendell’s expanding suburban market. Buyers should confirm lot boundaries, HOA covenants and amenity completion, and certificate of occupancy as listed verifications remain pending.

Marshburn Landing offers a new-construction residential setting with a private, wooded character while keeping downtown Wendell’s services within easy reach. Residents enjoy a short drive to local parks, independent restaurants and shops on Main Street, and larger retail at Wendell Falls. The community is attractive to families and professionals who commute to Raleigh via I-87, seeking newer homes and lower maintenance living. Community amenities and HOA details should be reviewed with the builder for completion timing.
