2748 Trent Drive Ne, Conover, NC

Situated within The Oaks at Rock Barn, this 2007 custom residence reflects a disciplined approach to traditional craftsmanship and recent technical stewardship. Spanning 4,143 square feet, the interior composition prioritizes material integrity, featuring heart pine and walnut flooring beneath ten-foot coffered ceilings. The kitchen serves as a functional centerpiece, equipped with Viking appliances and bespoke cabinetry by James McCurry. Beyond the four bedrooms and five bathrooms, the property has undergone significant structural updates, including an architectural roof and a resurfaced colored concrete driveway. In the Conover submarket, distinguished estates within established club communities maintain a consistent demand due to their proximity to regional commerce centers while offering a buffer of privacy. This particular site, encompassing over half an acre, benefits from an extensively refreshed exterior that emphasizes long-term utility.
