About This Home
As of July 2024IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY - No need to wait for new construction- this 4yr old home feels like a detached home, but without the larger price tag. The only home available in the community with a BASEMENT - a must for storage and space for visiting friends/family to play. Welcome home to this gorgeous 3 bedroom, 3 full bath home proudly located in the desirable Whispering Woods 55+ community. As you enter through the private side entrance, you are greeted by beautiful LVP flooring running throughout the open layout living room, dining area and kitchen (the current owners installed the flooring after construction was finished). The kitchen boasts a large island, granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a pantry. Access from the back of the home leads to a gorgeous maintenance-free Trex deck enhanced by a remote-controlled Sunsetter awning (both added on by current owners after construction was completed), providing a wonderful place to relax and entertain. This outdoor space overlooks perennial flower gardens featuring a variety of flowers that will come back year after year. Back inside you will find two main level bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite features an upgraded tray ceiling, one regular closet and one walk-in closet, and an ensuite with dual sinks and upgraded granite countertops. The main level is completed by a laundry room with access to the pristine 2-car garage. Upstairs, a large loft, also with LVP flooring, is an ideal flex space for a den, office, craft room, game room or whatever fits your needs. The large third bedroom and full bath are also on this level. Additional upgrades added after move-in include remote controlled ceiling fans throughout both levels, storm doors on both entrances, a sprinkler system, and custom blinds and curtains. The full unfinished basement features two egress windows (with whimsical wraps!) plus electrical and HVAC vents in place, making it easily ready to be finished to fit your needs. This lovely lot backs up to green space that will remain unbuilt. The community provides several amenities and activities to be active and social if you so choose, including a pool, bocce ball court and pickle ball courts.
