New Construction Home Tour: 4728 Spitfire Lane, Winston-Salem — Over an Acre, Upgraded Finishes, and a Floor Plan That Works

By Keon Shoulars | Real Broker LLC

If you've been searching for new construction in Winston-Salem and keep running into the same problem — either the home is beautiful but the lot is tiny, or you get land but have to sacrifice on finishes — 4728 Spitfire Lane in the Lauren Acres subdivision deserves your attention.

This is the Ridgeview floor plan by LND Homes, priced around $540,000 at the time of this post. Builder pricing can change, so reach out for current availability rather than anchoring to that number. What I want you to focus on is what you're actually getting for that price.

More Than an Acre in Winston-Salem

The lot alone makes this home stand out. At approximately 1.05 acres, you have real separation between you and your neighbors. That's not easy to find when you're buying brand-new construction and still want to be within the city.

This is one of those choices that genuinely comes down to lifestyle. Some buyers want the amenity-rich community with manicured common areas and a pool down the street. Others want privacy, outdoor space, and the feeling that when you step outside, the yard is actually yours. If you're in the second camp, larger lots like this one are increasingly hard to find without moving much farther from the city core.

The lot is the one thing you can't change after closing. It's worth thinking about before you fall in love with a floor plan.

The Exterior and Main Level

The home features upgraded James Hardie board siding on the exterior, which is worth noting because it's one of those choices that affects the look, durability, and long-term maintenance of the home. Once inside, you'll find an open-concept layout with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas. The finishes are clean and current without trying too hard.

The kitchen is going to get a lot of attention. Quartz countertops, an oversized island, stainless steel appliances with the refrigerator already included, and a large pantry with built-in shelving. Whether you genuinely love cooking or just like having a kitchen that looks and functions the way it should, this one delivers without requiring you to add things after you move in.

Right off the main living area sits a sunroom full of natural light. Flexible spaces like this tend to become one of the most-used rooms in the house once people settle in. A reading corner, a casual workspace, a morning coffee spot — it adapts to how you actually live rather than locking you into one purpose.

The Main-Level Primary Suite

This is one of the features that will matter most to the right buyer. The primary bedroom is on the main level, which gives the home a long-term quality that a lot of buyers don't think about until later.

The ensuite bathroom has a double quartz vanity, a tiled walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. The finishes carry through consistently, which is something I always look for when touring homes. A builder that puts real effort into the primary suite and then lets the rest of the home feel like an afterthought is easy to spot. That's not what's happening here.

Having the primary bedroom downstairs also changes how the layout functions for people who work from home, host family regularly, or simply want main-level living without sacrificing the feel of a full-sized home.

Four Bedrooms and Real Flexibility Upstairs

The home offers four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms total. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, which gives you actual flexibility. A guest room that functions like a guest room. A home office that doesn't feel like you squeezed a desk into a closet. A dedicated space for whatever your life calls for.

The two-car garage rounds out the practical side of the home. These details matter once you're actually living somewhere, and they're easy to overlook when you're focused on countertops and square footage during a showing.

Smart Home and Security Package

This home includes a complete smart home and security package with one year of premium service included. Features like this are a good reminder to look closely at what each builder actually includes in the base price because the differences between builders can be significant.

One builder's "standard" is another builder's upgrade. That's why I always encourage buyers to compare the full package rather than just the sticker price. The numbers can look different by the time you factor in what you'd be adding on your own.

On Incentives and Representation

There are currently incentives available on this home. I'm not going to lock in specific numbers here because they shift based on timing, financing programs, and the individual situation. Call or text me and I'll get you current information instead of something that may have already changed.

And before you visit LND Homes, any other builder, or register on any new construction website — reach out first. Builder policies around real estate agent representation vary, and I want to be involved from the beginning so that someone is sitting on your side of the table throughout the entire process.

The builder's representative is knowledgeable and professional. Their job is to represent the builder. My job is to represent you. And in most cases, that representation doesn't cost you anything extra because the builder has already built it into their budget. There's no real advantage to navigating this process without someone looking out for your interests.

New Construction in Winston-Salem Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

This is worth saying directly: what's available in new construction around Winston-Salem varies a lot more than most buyers realize until they start looking. Larger planned communities with amenities, smaller subdivisions, homes already under construction, semi-custom opportunities, individual builds on larger lots like this one — they all exist, and they attract very different buyers.

That's why starting with your lifestyle, your priorities, and your timeline is more important than starting with a builder name or a price point. Once I understand what actually matters to you, we can narrow things down to the options that genuinely fit instead of spending your entire visit driving between neighborhoods that were never going to be the right match anyway.

If what you've been picturing looks something like this — new construction with upgraded finishes, a main-level primary bedroom, a kitchen that's ready to go, and a little more room around you — reach out. Whether you're ready to move in the next few months or you're still six months to a year out, it's worth having a real conversation now so we can build a smart plan before you need one.

Call or text me anytime.
