1414 5th Street Drive NE Skip the wait for new construction and enjoy the benefits of a nearly new home with thoughtful upgrades already completed beyond builder standards. Located in the desirable Hamptons at Hickory community, this Elston floor plan offers 2, 214 square feet of well-designed living space with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Unlike a brand-new build, this home has already completed its initial settling period, allowing early homeowner adjustments and routine builder-related items to be addressed-offering added confidence and peace of mind for the next owner. Inside, you'll find fresh interior paint throughout with stylish accent walls on the main level and professionally cleaned carpet for a true move-in ready feel. Thoughtful upgrades include additional closet shelving for improved storage, updated bathroom cabinetry and molding details, and an upgraded primary suite shower fixture. Additional enhancements include a professionally finished and painted garage-an upgrade not typically included in new construction-updated Spectrum internet service, and a concrete pad for trash can storage, adding everyday convenience. A transferable new construction warranty provides added value and reassurance. Ideally located on a street closest to community amenities, residents enjoy quick access to the pool and playground, enhancing both lifestyle and livability.
