Great Durham Starter Homes #4
After a long hiatus, Great Durham Starter Homes is back. Today I wanted to look at a new construction home. Many first time homebuyers have little experience in home maintenance, so a brand new home allows them to live for a few years without having much maintenance while they learn the skills to take care of a home as it ages.
Stratford Lakes is a new townhome community on Martin Luther King Jr Parkway just west of Fayetteville Road [right next to the new Lowe's]. While Stratford Lakes offers several different floor plans ranging from 1200 to 2100sf, the floor plan we’re highlighting today is the Brooks plan. This townhome has two bedrooms and 2.5 baths and comes in at 1299sf. The community is convenient to RTP and the South Square area and is just minutes away from downtown Durham and Southpoint. Surrounded on three sides by lakes, Stratford Lakes puts you right in the center of everything while letting you live in a quiet community.
The basic new construction model is offered starting at $144,350 [features and upgrades will, of course, increase this price]. Centex is also finishing up a home with this floorplan which they are offering for sale at $149,990.
If you are interested in seeing this home, or any other home offered in the Great Starter Home series, please call or email me and we will find a time that works for you. Remember, the $8,000 tax credit requires that you close by November 30 so the time to take action is now.
