Property Description

Broker owned. Sold during processing. Tucked behind two towering oaks in highly sought-after Whispering Oaks, this extraordinary home is truly unlike anything else in the neighborhood. Just steps from Cherokee Elementary, it has been comprehensively reimagined with exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design and custom finishes throughout, creating a home that is every bit as beautiful as it is livable. The showstopping custom kitchen is truly a chef's dream. Filled with natural light and surrounded by windows, it features exquisite custom cabinetry incorporating remarkable storage and built-in features, high-end appliances and beautiful finishes. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the light-filled family room, where a soaring volume ceiling and walls of windows create an incredible sense of space and bring the outdoors in. An adjoining eating area with fireplace adds warmth and character to the heart of the home. The first floor also offers a gracious formal living room with fireplace, private home office with fireplace, beautifully renovated bar with refrigerator drawers, and a newly created mudroom and first-floor laundry. Upstairs, the primary suite is in a class of its own. A spectacular primary bath addition by Lynch Construction, completed in 2020, delivers true spa-level luxury with a BainUltra tub with Chroma therapy, oversized walk-in shower, separate floating vanities with quartzite countertops and exceptional custom finishes. Two newly built custom closets complete the suite. Three additional second-floor bedrooms are served by two fully remodeled hall baths, also completed by Lynch with the same attention to craftsmanship and elevated materials. The outdoor setting may be one of this home's greatest surprises. The remarkably private backyard becomes a lush oasis in season, centered around a gorgeous 10-foot-deep gunite pool completely renovated by Barrington Pools. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water, large walkways and patio, and extensively redesigned landscaping create a setting rarely found in the neighborhood. Beautiful hardwood floors extend throughout the home, including all-new hardwood flooring, tile and subfloors on the first floor-just one more example of how thoroughly and thoughtfully this home has been updated. The finished lower level with another fireplace provides yet another inviting place to gather, relax or entertain, while retaining the home's original second laundry room. And the beauty here goes far beyond what you see. Major improvements include a new roof and gutters, Rhino Shield exterior coating, and brand new high-end furnace, air conditioning, and water heater. From the mechanical systems to the finishes, virtually every room and major element of this home has been thoughtfully updated. There is simply too much to list, and nothing quite like it in Whispering Oaks.
