178 Charlotte Knoll St, Zebulon, NC 27597

Morning light fills the vaulted café ceiling. Coffee brews 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 with privacy fencing is quiet, private, and entirely yours. And just beyond the neighborhood, 80 acres of open water catch the early sun.

This is a Tuesday morning in The Holly at Cattail.

A Home Designed Around How You Actually Live

The Holly delivers 2,491 square feet across a floor plan that prioritizes real-life function. The open-concept main level connects the kitchen, extended café, and family room in a natural sequence -- distinct spaces that flow effortlessly without feeling undefined.

The gourmet kitchen is anchored by quartz countertops, stainless steel built-in appliances, and gas cooking. A separate prep kitchen stays tucked away for meal staging and small appliance storage, keeping the main kitchen clean and guest-ready at all times.

A pocket office sits just steps from the main living areas -- perfectly sized for remote work, homework, or managing the day-to-day. The climate-controlled Smart Door Delivery Center provides secure package storage, keeping deliveries protected from weather and out of sight.

The owner's suite offers a private bath and direct access to the laundry room, minimizing the distance between closet and clean clothes. Additional bedrooms and baths are designed with flexibility in mind.

Outside, the covered patio extends your living space into a fully fenced rear yard with privacy fencing already in place -- creating a secure, defined space for pets, play, entertaining, or simply enjoying quiet evenings without interruption. It's the kind of everyday feature that adds comfort, convenience, and lasting value.

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 features a Ring doorbell, smart locks, Ecobee thermostat, Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener, and Cat 6 wiring infrastructure ready for what's next.

Healthy living elements 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 month after month.

Each 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.

Cattail -- A Community Built Around the Water

Cattail isn't a neighborhood with a pond. It's a lake community centered around 80+ acres of open water and more than 2.5 miles of shoreline.

Residents enjoy fishing, kayaking, and boating, with private docks and lakefront homesites available. On land, the amenities reflect the setting -- a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fire pits, pergola, gathering spaces, walking and golf cart paths, and a multi-use recreation field.

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