Welcome to The Cottages of Swift Creek! If you've been waiting for a brand-new home without the brand-new price tag, this is it with a $5,000 use as you choose buyer incentive! This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Vanceboro will deliver 1,352 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, all on a clean slate with no prior owners, no deferred maintenance, and no surprises. The open floor plan connects the living area, dining space, and kitchen in a way that actually works for everyday life. Luxury vinyl plank floors run throughout, the kitchen features white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and a peninsula that's equally useful for meal prep or morning coffee. A sliding glass door off the main living area opens to a covered rear patio and a flat backyard with room to breathe. The primary suite is well-separated from the secondary bedrooms and includes a private bath with double vanity, granite countertops, and a beautiful shower, plus a large closet. The two additional bedrooms each have their own closets and ceiling fans. The hall full bath serves the rest of the home, and a dedicated laundry room keeps the everyday clutter out of the living areas. Outside, the covered front porch, concrete driveway, and fresh landscaping will give this home strong curb appeal from the start. The lot sits in a quiet area of Vanceboro with open views and a rural feel, just a short drive to Havelock, New Bern, and Cherry Point. This home checks the boxes that matter most: new construction quality, low-maintenance finishes, and a price point that makes sense.
