178 Charlotte Knoll Street

Zebulon, North Carolina

Morning light fills the vaulted café ceiling. Coffee's brewing in the gourmet kitchen — quartz countertops wiped clean because the prep kitchen handled last night's mess. Through the covered patio, the fully fenced backyard is quiet, private, and backed by a natural tree line that gives the yard genuine seclusion. And just beyond the neighborhood, 80 acres of lake water catch the early sun. This is a Tuesday morning in the Holly at Cattail — and it's ready now.

A Home Designed Around How You Actually Live

The Holly delivers 2,491 square feet and four bedrooms across a floor plan that puts daily function first. The open-concept main level connects the kitchen, extended café, and family room in a natural sequence — spaces that flow into each other without feeling undefined. The gourmet kitchen is anchored by quartz countertops, stainless steel built-in appliances, and gas cooking, while a separate prep kitchen stays tucked away for meal staging and small appliance storage, keeping the main kitchen clean and ready for gathering.

A pocket office sits steps from the main living areas — the right size for remote work, homework, or managing the household. The climate-controlled Smart Door Delivery Center provides secure package storage, keeping deliveries out of the weather and off the porch. The two-car side-load garage keeps the front elevation clean while giving you the storage and function you'd expect from a home designed at this level.

The owner's suite offers a private bath and a direct connection to the laundry room, cutting the distance between closet and clean clothes to a few steps. Additional bedrooms and baths are designed with flexibility in mind, and the covered patio extends living space outdoors into a rear yard enclosed by a 5' black aluminum fence — backed by a private tree line that makes it one of the more usable and secluded lots in the community.

Smart. Healthy. New. — Built to a Higher Standard

Every Holly includes New Home Inc.'s Smart. Healthy. New. package — not as an upgrade, but as the baseline.

Smart home technology includes a Ring doorbell, smart locks, Ecobee thermostat, Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener, and Cat 6 wiring infrastructure ready for whatever comes next. Healthy living features include whole-home MERV 11 air filtration — upgradeable to MERV 16 — with fresh air intake cycling through the home two to three times per hour. TechShield radiant barrier roof decking helps reduce attic temperatures and lower cooling costs, working quietly in the background every month of the year.

Every home undergoes independent HERS energy testing — a third-party verified score that quantifies what resale homes cannot: proven performance backed by data, modern materials, and builder-backed warranties. In plain terms: lower utility bills and better air quality from day one.

Cattail — A Community Built Around the Water

Cattail isn't a neighborhood with a pond. It's a lake community built around 80+ acres of open water and over 2.5 miles of shoreline. Residents have access to fishing, kayaking, and boating, with private docks and lakefront homesites available. On land, the amenities match the setting — a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fire pits, pergola, and gathering spaces, plus walking and golf cart paths and a multi-use recreation field.

Homesites range from half an acre to over two acres, giving each home room to breathe. Cattail sits in Johnston County with convenient access to shopping, dining, and entertainment in Clayton, Zebulon, and Wendell.

Move-In Ready. No Wait.

The Holly at 178 Charlotte Knoll Street is complete and available now. Four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a two-car side-load garage, 0.84 acres of homesite, a fenced rear yard with wooded views, and immediate access to one of the Triangle's most distinctive lake communities — this is new construction built to perform, verified to prove it, and ready the moment you are.
