Beautiful home in the heart of desirable Whispering Oaks with 4030 SF of finished space! This lovely home has been meticulously maintained and boasts large rooms with abundant natural light, hardwood floors throughout, a 1st floor laundry, a wonderful finished basement with nice ceiling height and above grade windows, and an oversized two-car attached garage which opens to a spacious mudroom/laundry room. Situated perfectly on almost 1/2 acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property sits high above most homes in the neighborhood. The first floor foyer is flanked by a gracious dining room and large living room and includes three guest closets and a powder room. The family room features a fireplace and beamed ceiling and opens the living room, foyer and patio. The kitchen opens to the butlers pantry, dining room and breakfast area. The breakfast area opens to the mudroom/laundry room, which has a door to the backyard. The second floor has a large primary suite with walk-in closet and bath and three generous additional bedrooms with abundant closet space. Additional storage or expansion opportunity in the floored attic on the second floor. The finished basement has an office area, recreation room with custom built-in bookcases, wet bar, windows looking out to the side yard, a dark room with a sink (could be a future bathroom) and an exercise room or 5th bedroom. The new roof and gutters were installed in May 2023. Enjoy being close to the train, schools, parks and town!
