I created a new project using create-react-app and tried to host the built files using serve as is recommended by create-react-app. I was unable to make it work and tried to figure why. It seems that serve is unable to serve any files when serving a directory with an index.html file. Here's the steps that I used to verify this:

$ node --version
v7.7.4
$ npm --version
4.4.1
$ serve --version
5.1.0
$ mkdir build
$ echo '<!doctype html><title>.</title>' > build/index.html
$ serve build

# In a different terminal
$ http localhost:5000
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
$ rm build/index.html
$ http localhost:5000
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

The response seems to always be 204 for all existing files no matter what I do. I'm using macOS 10.12.3.

Have you checked it in the browser? I mean, the status codes might be wrong but that doesn't imply that it's not working...?
