Welcome to a custom-built beauty featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage. Sitting on 3.43 acres of beautiful countryside, this home is tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac and is surrounded by farmland and timber. The 2-story entry, high-end kitchen, living room built-ins and fireplace, the vaulted office ceiling, and the well-appointed dining room are only the beginning of what distinguishes this property. The large primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and its en suite boasts of travertine tile and a luxurious standalone bathtub. Upstairs, the large landing is the perfect place for a reading nook and the family room serves as additional gathering space. First floor laundry sits next to the mud room off of the garage. Laundry hook-ups are also available on the 2nd floor and the lower level. The exterior features mirror the unique characteristics of this stucco and stone home. The massive, heated workshop is a dream space for buyers whose hobbies are hands-on projects. The shop offers a tandem capacity for 6 vehicles; its 3 garage doors include a 12' high door, which is suitable for an RV or a boat. Above the workshop is a versatile loft with extensive storage or great potential for a guest suite. The private drive and cement pad areas provide substantial parking for large parties. This rare find allows for horses on the property and is equipped with 2 horse barns well as a lean-to on the side of the shop. Whispering Meadows offers it all: peaceful seclusion, a lovely home, and accommodating spaces for entertaining, avocation, and recreation.
