811 Blount Street

Welcome to 811 Blount Street, a brand-new 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch built by a local, family-owned builder who believes homes should be built to last, not just look good in pictures. No flimsy materials or rushed construction here—just solid craftsmanship and thoughtful design. And the best part? No HOA. That means no monthly fees, no weird rules about how short your grass can be, and no one telling you that your favorite garden gnome collection is ''too much.'' This home has a smart split-bedroom layout that gives everyone their own space, an open-concept living area that makes hosting effortless, and a large mudroom/laundry room that might finally convince you to stop using the living room chair as your personal closet. With plenty of space for kicking off muddy shoes, dropping backpacks, and sorting laundry, it's the command center you never knew you needed. The pull-down attic offers plenty of storage for all those ''I'll use it someday'' items, and the backyard patio is ready for barbecues, morning coffee, or just enjoying some fresh air. A 1-year builder warranty means peace of mind comes included. High ceilings and large windows flood the space with natural light, while durable luxury vinyl plank floors handle real life like a champ. The plush carpet in the bedrooms makes every step feel like a little treat. Craftsman-style touches add warmth, ceiling fans keep things comfortable, and the professionally painted walls give it that crisp, finished look that makes you want to show it off. The kitchen? Let's just say you'll want to cook here—even if you usually prefer takeout. Sleek granite countertops, soft-close cabinets that add a little luxury to your everyday, a stylish tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances that make any meal prep feel like a pro move. The deep stainless-steel sink is big enough for all the dishes after hosting a dinner—or for hiding them until tomorrow. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private bathroom featuring quartz countertops, soft-close drawers, and a tiled shower designed for long, relaxing soaks (or just a quiet place to escape for a moment). The guest bathroom? Just as stylish, just as well-appointed, and ready to impress visitors. This home doesn't just look good—it's designed to make life easier. A programmable thermostat lets you set it and forget it, a large water heater ensures hot showers are never in short supply, and an outdoor outlet by the driveway is perfect for charging an electric car or making your holiday light display the envy of the neighborhood. Plus, it's prepped for solar panels if you ever want to take energy efficiency to the next level. Located in the heart of Smithfield, you're just minutes from everything.
