Property Description

Life at Cattail blends the best of resort-style living with the natural beauty of Johnston County. Set along an 80-acre lake, this one-of-a-kind community offers private docks, fishing, kayaking, and more. Residents enjoy a plethora of amenities including a pool, clubhouse, fire pits, and scenic walking woven throughout the neighborhood. 172 Merritt Lake Ave is designed for the way people truly live today. Start mornings on your charming front porch before stepping into a bright foyer that introduces New Home Inc.'s exclusive Smart Door Delivery Center--a secure, climate-controlled package space. Just beyond, two light-filled pocket offices make working from home effortless. The gourmet-inspired kitchen showcases premium finishes, gas cooking, and a convenient private prep space tucked away from the main kitchen. The space opens seamlessly to the family room and flows outdoors to an extended covered rear deck, perfect for weekend barbecues, sunset views, or quiet nights after a day on the lake. The main level includes a flexible guest suite with full bath, ideal for multi-generational living. Upstairs, the layout prioritizes balance: a spacious game room offers shared space for fun, while two bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the luxurious owner's retreat, giving everyone privacy. Beyond design, the Apex floor plan integrates New Home Inc.'s Smart, New, and Healthy standards including MERV 11 air filtration with upgrade potential to hospital-grade MERV 16, TechShield reflective roof decking, a fully encapsulated crawlspace for durability, and a Stage 2 EV charger in the 3-Car garage. Homes here achieve strong HERS Index ratings, offering lasting comfort, efficiency, and lower monthly costs. With shopping, dining, and entertainment minutes away in Clayton, Wendell, and Zebulon, you'll enjoy both serenity and convenience. Schedule your private tour today!
