601 E Bay Street

This exceptional 1,220 sq ft home stands out from typical new construction with its superior craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Built on a solid concrete monoslab foundation reinforced with rebar footings, it is designed for durability and resilience. The exterior is finished with Certainteed Board & Batten vinyl siding on the front and horizontal siding on the sides and back, a choice that not only adds aesthetic appeal but also ensures lasting protection against the elements. The 30-year architectural shingle roof and 5-inch aluminum gutters contribute to the home's longevity, providing robust coverage and efficient drainage. Inside, no detail is overlooked. The home boasts 9-foot ceilings that enhance the feeling of openness, while quality MSI 20-mil luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main living spaces, providing durability without sacrificing style. In the bedrooms, plush carpeting offers a soft contrast. Finishes such as craftsman-style 6-inch baseboards and 4-inch real pine casings around doors and windows elevate the home's design, emphasizing quality craftsmanship over mass production. The kitchen, a focal point of the home, is equipped with premium materials like J&K solid wood shaker cabinets featuring soft-close doors and drawers, complemented by sleek granite countertops and a ceramic tile backsplash. This level of detail is rare in new construction and sets a high standard for both beauty and functionality. Samsung stainless steel appliances, a deep single-bowl stainless steel sink, and a Moen pull-down faucet add to the kitchen's performance and aesthetic appeal. Energy efficiency is integrated at every level of construction. High-quality SPF lumber, R-38 ceiling insulation, R-15 wall insulation, and R-10 slab insulation create a well-insulated, energy-efficient home. Paired with a Trane electric heat pump and programmable thermostat, this home is designed to minimize utility costs while maximizing comfort—a thoughtful addition that goes above and beyond typical new builds. Additional features like a large attic space for storage, an EV charger-ready driveway with a 240V outlet, and solar-ready conduit show a forward-thinking approach to convenience and sustainability. Backed by city water and sewer services, as well as a 1-year builder warranty, this home exemplifies quality construction designed for long-lasting value and comfort, distinguishing it from other new construction options on the market.
