Sunlit 4-Bed End-Unit Townhome with Balcony and 2-Car Garage
What stands out first at 709 Trailboard Rd is the end-unit placement — more windows, extra privacy, and a larger corner lot in Atwater Station. Across three thoughtfully laid-out levels, this brand-new townhome delivers 2,550 square feet of contemporary living: high ceilings, tray details, and a careful mix of granite and quartz surfaces. The main level unfolds around a generous kitchen island and an open family area finished with durable luxury vinyl plank flooring that looks like hardwood without the upkeep.
The kitchen is equipped for everyday life and entertaining: substantial counterspace, a center island for casual dining, and both granite and quartz countertops that accent a modern palette. Upstairs, private quarters include walk-in closets and bathrooms appointed with clean, modern tilework. Tray ceilings and high ceilings add height and presence to principal rooms; the 3.5 baths are configured to serve both families and guests with comfort.
Outdoor living is a genuine asset here. The private balcony off the main living area is sized for morning coffee or evening gatherings, and the two-car attached garage paired with a 20-foot driveway removes the typical townhome parking hassle. Atwater Station’s amenities — community pool, playgrounds and sidewalks — are steps away, making it easy to turn weekend routines into neighborhood rituals.
From an ownership perspective this unit is move-in ready and built by Baker Residential with modern, low-maintenance fiber cement construction and an architectural shingle roof. Practical systems include zoned heating and cooling on natural gas and reliable utilities (Duke Energy electric, Piedmont Natural Gas). With a 2025 assessed value of $450,000 and annual taxes near $4,500, the list price of $472,904 aligns with recent nearby sales, reflecting the end-unit premium and new-construction appeal.
709 Trailboard Rd is an attractive choice for buyers seeking a contemporary, low-maintenance home in a fast-growing town just 2.5 miles from downtown Fuquay-Varina and within easy reach of Wake County schools. Whether purchased for primary residence or as an investment (estimated rent approximately $2,500/month), this residence combines modern finishes, practical storage and community conveniences in a walkable, family-oriented setting.

A factual market snapshot around 709 Trailboard Rd.
Fuquay-Varina is currently trending as a balanced market with modest upward pressure on prices. Local metrics show about 2.5 months of inventory and an average of roughly 30 days on market — conditions that favor sellers slightly but still allow motivated buyers room to negotiate. The neighborhood median sale price sits near $450,000 with one-year appreciation around 5% and five-year appreciation of approximately 25%.
Townhomes and newly built product in Atwater Station are moving briskly; end-units carry a premium because they offer additional privacy and light. Recent comparable sales within a half-mile closed in the $474k–$502k range and imply a price-per-square-foot near $184–197 — the list price of $472,904 at about $185/sf is squarely within that band. Inventory remains moderate, while rental demand is strong: modeled rents near $2,500/month produce a gross yield near 6.3% for investors.
For buyers: this is a window to secure new-construction product in a stable submarket close to Raleigh. For sellers or investors: limited new inventory and steady buyer interest suggest healthy liquidity without the volatility of an overheated market.
