Property Description
Tucked among the trees on 3.5 private acres, this timeless Colonial style home welcomes you with a quintessential front porch that overlooks a wide, open front yard , the perfect picture of peace and privacy. With no homes across the way, only trees and distant farm fields, this setting offers the best of country tranquility while keeping you close to everyday conveniences.
Step inside the spacious foyer, where warm, glowing hardwood floors set the tone for the home's inviting atmosphere. To the left, a cozy sitting room with a corner gas fireplace and mounted TV makes the perfect spot to unwind. To the right, an elegant formal dining room awaits your next gathering. The heart of the home is the impressive great room, featuring two-story ceilings, a wall of windows that fills the space with natural light, and a striking brick fireplace with a wood-burning insert, ideal for cozy evenings by a fire.
The kitchen is both bright and welcoming, featuring stainless steel appliances, a center island with a sink, and a large walk-in pantry. The adjoining sunny breakfast nook opens to the rear deck, offering a lovely place to enjoy morning coffee while overlooking the peaceful wooded backdrop.
The first floor also includes a convenient laundry room with a storage closet, a powder room, and access to the three-car attached garage. The spacious entry level primary suite is a true retreat, surrounded by windows framing serene views of nature. The ensuite bath offers dual vanities, a soaking tub, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a large walk-in closet, a perfect blend of comfort and relaxation.
Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. One of the bedrooms provides access to a large recreation room that makes an ideal space for a game room, media lounge, or guest suite. The recreation room also has a separate exit with stairs down to the garage. Another bedroom features an oversized walk-in closet that could easily serve as a dressing room or hobby space, with access to a floored attic area perfect for additional storage.
Outdoor living is just as inviting. The expansive rear deck features a cutout ready for a hot tub, along with an outdoor shower for easy cleanup after yardwork or adventure. There's plenty of parking with a separate two-car detached garage and an additional concrete pad perfect for an RV or boat. The wooded backyard invites you to explore, create your own trails, or simply enjoy evenings by the fire pit under the stars.
Additional highlights include a home intercom system that can play music throughout, a security system for peace of mind, and a new roof installed in 2020. Lawn irrigation system keeps your lawn looking fabulous. 14 Whispering Woods is more than a home, it's a private haven that blends classic charm with modern comfort, all surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature.
