Welcome Home! Fabulously finished and divinely decorated Whisper Lake cottage has it all. So much charm and character, it'll break your heart to have to leave. 4BR/2BA, large Rumford FP with gas starter, central vac, 2 HVAC systems (one up, one down), full generator, water feature, well-appointed kitchen. Master bath has heated floor and towel racks and steam shower. Built-in shelving in the Living Room and Loft, plus wonderful little niches (most with electricity) for small lamps or treasured books or mementos. Wide Plank wood flooring and wood walls. Not a single sheet of drywall anywhere in the house. The large screened porch is exactly right for al fresco dining and party time, or quiet relaxation. Stone patio out back of the screened porch accommodates more seating to appreciate the lovely woods and gardens, and listen to the splashing sounds of the water feature close by. The wide rocking chair front porch presents a pleasant place for that porch swing you always wanted. The home is light and bright, even on the most dreary days. Lots of windows and skylights help keep it cheerful and light-filled. You WILL love this home!
