This contemporary two-story on Cardinal Ridge Way introduces modern living in Wendell’s Marshburn Landing community. Built in 2026 and offering 2,143 square feet, the home pairs thoughtful everyday design with finishes selected for durability and style.

Upstairs, the primary suite provides a private retreat with an en-suite bath and ample closet space, while three additional bedrooms, a loft and a study nook give families flexible zones for homework, remote work, or media. Flooring choices include light gray EVP on the main living areas for low-maintenance resilience and warm gray carpet in the bedrooms for comfort underfoot. Practical features—central heating and cooling, an asphalt shingle roof, and a two-car attached garage—round out a turnkey setup.

Outside, the lot measures 3,639 square feet on level terrain with a standard residential frontage and driveway access. The compact yard reduces maintenance and frees time for exploring local amenities: Downtown Wendell’s shops and restaurants lie about 1.5 miles away, Wendell Park is roughly 2 miles out and the larger Wendell Falls community is within a 3-mile drive.
