22 Pine Lake Drive

Description

Life slows down in all the best ways at this immaculate lakefront brick cottage in Whispering Pines. Mornings begin with coffee on the screened porch as mist lifts off the water, afternoons drift by on the paddleboat (yes, it stays), and evenings wind down by the fireplace with gas logs glowing at the touch of a remote. From the private dock and pier to the terraced backyard wrapped in upgraded landscaping, every inch of this property invites you outside. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom. The renovated kitchen shines with quartz counters, a new sink, refreshed cabinet doors and hardware, LVP flooring, a new range and microwave, and a clever stacked laundry and storage nook. The expanded primary bath is a true retreat with a luxury walk in shower, quartz topped vanity, generous storage, and heated floors underfoot. Both bathrooms have been modernized, fresh paint flows throughout, and commercial grade LVP, newer interior doors, doorknobs, and light fixtures give the whole home a crisp, current feel. The living room fireplace, painted a dramatic near black with a clean lined mantel, anchors a generous main living space, while the oversized dining room easily hosts a crowd. Outdoor living is where this home truly shows off: rear porch, patio, screened porch, refinished dock surface, new backyard steps and railing, and a bulkhead and dock constructed in 2015. The decorative lighthouse at the corner of the yard adds storybook charm (light no longer operable). A black vinyl coated chain link security fence surrounds the house and terraced yard, and lake fed irrigation keeps the entire lawn lush. The practical side impresses too: new HVAC, solar panels that keep electric bills reasonable, replaced windows, encapsulated crawlspace with abundant storage, a 9 year old roof, and a Clegg termite warranty. The heated and cooled 170 SF basement room makes an ideal flex space for an office, gym, or hobby room, and the oversized garage swallows vehicles and lake toys alike. A radon mitigation system was installed by past sellers purely as a precaution; radon has never been detected. Dock furniture, the dining room table and chairs, and select rugs are available for purchase. Lakefront homes in Whispering Pines don't come along often. Come see why.
