Homes by Dickerson built this green-certified Concord floorplan in October of 2016 on one of the best natural and wooded lots. In fact, the sellers loved this home so much they wanted to literally pick it up and move it to a new location. Of course, this wasn't realistic so they hired Homes by Dickerson to build them the exact same home east of RDU.
The Concord floorplan is ideal for a plethora of reasons. The open concept kitchen, butlers pantry, family room and dining area are adjacent and open up to the screened in porch and ideal for entertaining. The porch leads to an additional deck perfect for you to enjoy the sound of the sound of birds in your backyard and fire up the grill. In North Carolina there are some healthy debates on the topic of grilling out versus cooking out versus BBQ. You can weigh in on that more when you settle in to Briar Chapel. Speaking of BBQ, which is now being used as a noun, not a verb, Allen & Son is only 9 minutes away from this house. If you haven't had North Carolina BBQ be prepared to have your idea of BBQ reset.
The owners suite is located on the main floor and there is a secondary bedroom, upstairs secondary family room or flex space (currently a quilters studio), and two additional bedrooms. The plan and space of this home is incredibly versatile for the various chapters that may occur in a lifetime. A separate dining room or office is also located on the main floor.

One of the concerns many buyers may have when relocating to a planned community is the proximity to your neighbors. The insulation and homes are constructed so that while you don't have more yard to maintain than you may need, and you won't hear your neighbors when you are both inside of your homes. Unless of course you pick up the phone and ask if you are able to borrow an egg or cup of milk for the recipe you thought you planned for and then realized you are a little short. The spacious kitchen island, gas range and Electrolux oven will certainly inspire you to cultivate your culinary skills sometimes on a whim. Cabinets feature dove-tailed construction with the soft close drawers. There is plenty of room in the garage if you decide to purchase a second refrigerator and freezer to insure you remain fully stocked. The nearest grocery is only 7 minutes from 196 Old Piedmont.
The family room features built-in bookshelves and storage as well as providing for the instant ambiance with the flip of a switch with your natural gas logs. Site-finished white oak hardwood floors are in the main areas of the home and owners suite. The owners suite bathroom features a walk-in shower with decorative tile, soaking tub and dual vanities. If you haven't experienced the luxury of unlimited hot water, you soon will if you purchase this home. The spacious closet is strategically located off of the bathroom. Plantation shutters are a value add to this home as well as the central vacuum and TWO walk-in attic storage spaces. The only thing missing from this home is a pool and you have two community ones to chose from not far away. Low county taxes and public and charter schools in strolling distance. Showings begin at 11 am on Friday with the Open House on Saturday from 2 - 4 pm. If multiple offers are received they will be reviewed at noon on Monday. $595k for 3256 square feet.
