Modern 4-Bed, 3-Bath New Build in Cayden Cove
This freshly completed home at 5417 Cayden Cove Drive presents a clear statement: contemporary living built for everyday comfort and easy entertaining. At 2,146 square feet, the two-story layout places a bright, well-equipped kitchen at the center of life here — 42-inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances come together to create a practical yet polished prep space. A private bedroom off the foyer on the main level is ideal for guests, home office use, or multigenerational living.
Upstairs, three bedrooms include a generous owner's suite designed with relaxation in mind. The owner’s bath offers spa-inspired finishes and the suite's large walk-in closet keeps wardrobes and storage neatly tucked away. Two additional upstairs bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible living and serve family or overnight guests. The home’s open public areas encourage gatherings while defined private spaces make day-to-day living comfortable.
Built in 2025 by Lennar Carolinas LLC, the exterior combines fiber cement siding with stone veneer and a shingle roof for low-maintenance curb appeal. The level 0.14-acre lot includes a two-car attached garage and a standard residential driveway. Mechanical systems include forced-air gas heating and central air conditioning — practical choices that support year-round comfort in Wake County.
Cayden Cove extends the home's lifestyle beyond its footprint. Residents have access to a community pool and cabana, playground and open play fields, and the location places downtown Wendell just 1.5 miles away for shops and restaurants. With Highway 264 approximately 3 miles from the neighborhood, commutes to Raleigh, RTP and RDU are straightforward. This property is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy — a strong option for buyers seeking a new, low-maintenance home with modern finishes and community amenities.

Recent closings in Cayden Cove show new construction trading in the high $300Ks, with comparable sales ranging from about $384,000 to $425,000 and a local median sale price around $350,000. Annual appreciation is modestly positive at about 5% year-over-year, with a stronger five-year gain (~25%).

Investors will notice rental comparables supporting an estimated monthly rent around $2,200 (≈ $1.02/sf) for similar product.
