New construction. One-level living. A fenced backyard. Wooded privacy. Smart-home luxury. No HOA. Why settle for an ordinary neighborhood home when you can have something this special? Privacy like this is hard to find—especially in a brand-new home! Tucked away at the end of a quiet street, 820 E. Cardinal Drive offers an incredible combination of modern upgrades, peaceful surroundings, and the freedom of NO HOA. With approximately 35 wooded acres and a scenic creek next to the property, you'll enjoy a sense of seclusion that's increasingly rare this close to Downtown Fuquay-Varina. Step inside and discover 1,614 square feet of beautifully designed, single-level living with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, and an open floor plan that feels bright, spacious, and inviting. The kitchen is a showstopper! An oversized island anchors the space, complemented by a built-in wine cooler and an impressive suite of Samsung smart appliances—including a Family Hub touchscreen refrigerator, smart range, and dishwasher. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this kitchen delivers both style and functionality. The spacious primary suite offers a relaxing escape with a generous walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and a separate tub/shower combination. And then there's the backyard! Imagine morning coffee overlooking the trees, weekend cookouts on your deck, or peaceful evenings surrounded by nature. The fully fenced backyard, custom deck stairs, wooded backdrop, and nearby creek create an inviting outdoor retreat without sacrificing convenience. Enjoy the extras that make everyday life easier: a two-car garage, smart thermostat, Wi-Fi-enabled garage doors, exterior security lighting, ceiling fans throughout, washer and dryer included, two pull-down attic spaces and a large crawlspace offering additional storage. The best part? NO HOA or Restrictive covenants! Enjoy the flexibility of a property without mandatory HOA dues or neighborhood association restrictions. Located minutes from Downtown Fuquay-Varina's restaurants, breweries, boutiques, and local events, with convenient access to shopping, Holly Springs, and Raleigh.
