About this home
Beyond your doorstep lies the lifestyle that makes Cattail so unique. At 154 Merritt Lake Avenue, you'll enjoy the best of lake living in a master-planned community centered around an 80-acre lake with more than 2.5 miles of shoreline. Whether it's casting a line, kayaking at sunrise, or taking in the view from the water, this natural centerpiece defines the community. On land, residents gather at the resort-style pool and clubhouse, connect with neighbors at fire pits and pergolas, and explore walking and golf cart trails that weave through preserved green spaces. Life at Cattail balances adventure, relaxation, and connection in one remarkable neighborhood.
This setting is the backdrop for the Garner floor plan by New Home Inc, a thoughtfully designed home with 3,029 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and a front load 2-car garage. The home blends Craftsman charm with modern features that support daily living. Upon entry, the Smart Door Delivery Center provides a secure and weatherproof space for packages. Inside, the kitchen shines with a multi-sided conversational island and the signature Messy Kitchen, perfect for storage and prep. Detailed craftsmanship is evident throughout, from tall baseboards and window casings to crown molding and a fireplace that anchors the main living space. A pocket office and flex spaces offer versatility, adapting to work, study, or play.
Outdoor living extends the experience, with a spacious homesite
This home also embodies New Home Inc's Smart, New, and Healthy standards. Smart features include a Ring doorbell, smart locks, smart switches, Ecobee thermostat, Cat 6 wiring, and a Stage 2 EV charger in the garage. These elements improve security, convenience, and future readiness. The Healthy features are equally impactful. Whole-home MERV 11 air filtration (upgradeable to MERV 16) enhances air quality, while fresh air intake cycles through the HVAC multiple times per hour to reduce allergens and keep indoor spaces fresh. A sealed conditioned crawl space protects against moisture and improves efficiency. TechShield radiant barrier roof decking reduces attic temperatures by up to 30°F in summer, lowering strain on the HVAC. The result is a home that achieves a HERS score significantly lower than a standard new home, translating into long-term savings on utility bills.
Every detail at 154 Merritt Lake Avenue reflects careful design and forward thinking. The home not only supports today's lifestyle with smart technology and wellness features, but also ensures energy efficiency and durability for years to come. Combined with the unmatched amenities of Cattail, this home offers a unique opportunity to live where community and innovation come together.
