FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. – Massengill Design-Build has earned a Bronze Award in the 2026 Triangle Parade of Homes for “Eagle Shot,” its entry at 2400 Eagle Shot Court in Bentwinds Bluffs. The recognition marks the third consecutive year the local custom homebuilder has taken home a Parade award, following Gold wins in 2024 and 2025.
This year’s honor also celebrates a milestone for Bentwinds Bluffs: Eagle Shot is the final Fuquay-Varina home for sale available in the collection, giving buyers one last opportunity to call the neighborhood home.
“Eagle Shot brings together so much of what buyers want in a custom home, with real value in the details,” said Blake Massengill, Owner and President of Massengill Design-Build.
“You’ve got 10-foot ceilings, a beautiful gourmet kitchen, a downstairs primary suite and tile showers, all on a large lot with Bentwinds Golf & Country Club right around the corner. We’re proud of how much this home offers, both inside and beyond the front door.”
The Triangle Parade of Homes, presented each year by the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County, is one of the largest open-home showcases in North Carolina.

The event highlights the best in new residential construction across Wake, Durham and Orange counties, drawing entries from some of the region’s most respected local builders as well as national names in homebuilding.
With dozens of homes competing across categories for design, craftsmanship and innovation, earning a Gold Award is a highly competitive achievement — one that underscores Massengill Design-Build’s enduring excellence and the growing recognition of Fuquay-Varina’s vibrant homebuilding market.

Meet Bronze Winner: Eagle Shot
Spanning approximately 2,822 square feet, Eagle Shot offers five bedrooms and three and a half baths within an open layout that balances gathering space with room to retreat. A gourmet kitchen and adjoining scullery support everyday meals and larger celebrations, while triple sliding glass doors extend the main living area outdoors. Upstairs, a loft, recreation room and walk-in storage add flexibility for changing routines.
The home brings Massengill Design-Build’s approach to life in a neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets and connection to Bentwinds Country Club via a private golf-cart trail. With only this final home remaining, the award offers a fitting close to the builder’s work within the coveted Fuquay-Varina community.

“Three consecutive years of Parade recognition makes me incredibly proud of the people behind our homes,” Massengill continued. “Our team and trade partners bring care, accountability and experience to the job every day. They keep setting the bar high, then looking for ways to raise it. These awards recognize that shared effort, and I’m grateful to work alongside people who take so much pride in getting the details right.”
That consistency reflects the company’s broader commitment to building homes that feel personal, practical and connected to the community.
“Being a luxury custom home builder in Fuquay-Varina means earning the trust of the people who choose to put down roots here,” said Mike Riddick, Co-Owner and Managing Partner of Massengill Design-Build. “At Massengill, that starts with listening closely and carries through to the floor plan, the craftsmanship and the conversations we have throughout the build. Luxury should feel personal: a kitchen that works the way you cook, spaces that fit your family and confidence in the people building your home. That’s what we want ‘Massengill Made’ to mean to every homeowner.”
