484 Steeplechase Boulevard, Clayton, NC 27520

If you've been touring Carolina Overlook's new builds and thinking ''this is beautiful, but it feels like every other one I've seen,' walk through 484 Steeplechase. This is what the Palmary floor plan looks like when someone with taste actually lived in it.

The community. Carolina Overlook is one of the most beloved 55+ communities in the Triangle for a reason. The 20,000 sq ft lakeside clubhouse anchors a calendar full of social clubs, classes, and gatherings. Indoor pool, outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, yoga studio, pickleball courts (yes, the good kind of pickleball - competitive but friendly).

A dog park your pup will adopt as their personal kingdom. Direct access to the Neuse River Greenway when you want to walk, bike, or just breathe. This isn't a subdivision - it's a chapter of your life. The home. A 1,881 sq ft single-level ranch with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus a dedicated study with antique French doors that doubles as a third bedroom, office, art studio, or guest room.

Built in 2023, but designed and finished far beyond what you'll see from any builder spec. Arched doorways, decorative ceiling beams, designer lighting, plantation shutters throughout. The chef's kitchen anchors the open floor plan with an expansive island, quartz counters, and a custom pantry with antique-style door and designer wallpaper you'll want to photograph.

The primary suite delivers a spa-like bath, dual vanity, walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet worth bragging about. Screened porch with privacy drapery overlooks professionally landscaped surroundings - perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The location.

Minutes to downtown Clayton's restaurants and shops. Easy access to I-540 for trips to RTP, RDU, North Hills, or downtown Raleigh. Close to Johnston Health and major medical. The new-resident's-dream balance of ''quiet neighborhood'' and ''five minutes from everything.'' The win.

$600,000. One Year of HOA dues (a $2,940 value) paid by the seller. Move-in ready. Every upgrade already done. No waiting six months for a new build to finish. The Carolina Overlook lifestyle, starting the day you close. Some homes you compare. This one, you choose.
