About 135 Whisper Lake Dr
Welcome to “Water’s Edge” — a serene lakeside retreat tucked along the peaceful shores of Whisper Lake. This thoughtfully designed single-level home offers the perfect blend of mountain charm, modern comfort, and unmatched access to both nature and resort-style amenities. As you approach, a gently meandering driveway sets a quiet, private tone. Inside, expansive floor-to-ceiling Andersen windows frame stunning lake views and fill the living room with natural light. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living spaces, and a beautiful stone gas fireplace adds warmth and character. The chef’s kitchen features cherry cabinetry, Juperano Gold granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, a dual fuel range, and new Bosch appliances. A built-in buffet offers added space for serving and entertaining. The spacious primary suite is a peaceful haven, with its own wood stove, a luxurious jetted tub, walk-in shower with grab bars, and a large walk-in closet. A split-bedroom layout offers privacy for guests, while a versatile bonus room can be used as an office, hobby space, or guest retreat. Step outside to enjoy a large open deck and a covered porch — perfect for morning coffee or watching the sunset over the water. The oversized two-car garage is climate-controlled with a mini-split and dehumidifier, ideal for projects or storage year-round. Recent upgrades include a 2023 HVAC system, tankless gas water heater, encapsulated crawlspace, new window shades in the living room, a fenced dog run, and a security system. Enjoy direct access to Whisper Lake from your private dock for fishing (catch and release), or take out the included rowboat, kayak, canoe, or inner tubes for a relaxing day on the water. Community amenities include a picnic area, social gatherings at the dock, and storage racks for watercraft. Ownership also includes full access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities: indoor/outdoor pools, saunas, hot tubs, fitness and game rooms, ski slopes, zip-lining, tennis, pickleball, golf, and Fairfield Lake with canoeing, swimming, and picnicking. Whether you're seeking a quiet full-time residence or a vacation getaway, “Water’s Edge” offers an unmatched lifestyle in a beautiful mountain-lake setting!
