A wonderful ‘seasonal' or year-round fully furnished family home in the heart of Sapphire Valley! Lots of curb appeal as you approach this home with a flat driveway off the street. The detached two-car garage has a covered breezeway to the rocking chair front porch. Fresh paint lightens up the living room with cathedral ceilings, a stone surround fireplace flanked by built-ins, big clerestory windows. It opens to the large deck overlooking a very private wooded backyard. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, a gas range, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar. A split bedroom plan affords privacy for the en-suite primary bedroom, complete with a fireplace, which opens to the deck and has a luxurious bath and a walk-in closet. The main level guest bedroom also opens onto the deck. The lower level has a family room, guest bedroom, and a bonus room (currently used as a bunk room). Spend a glorious night curled up on the sleeping porch bed! Other extraordinary features: whole house de-humidifier, encapsulated basement, alarm system, wine cooler, wired sound system. Even the golf cart, canoe and kayak convey with the sale of this custom-built, very well-maintained home! Whisper Lake has fiber optics and its own private lake for homeowners to enjoy canoeing, kayaking & fishing – in addition to the Sapphire Valley amenities! Turnkey & in move-in condition! Short-term rentals are allowed! Closing must be after 8/31. Adjoining lot #123 (MLS #102318) is also available at $34k - purchase for buffer & added privacy!
