Ready for immediate occupancy. Very conveniently located about 1.3 miles south of the University Parkway corridor, this spacious home is nestled on a corner lot across from a large nature preserve in the quiet, gated 36-home neighborhood of Whispering Crane.

With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths (2 ensuite), this well designed floorplan provides privacy for family members as well as wonderful entertainment space for guests. The kitchen, complete with breakfast nook and breakfast bar overlooking the gathering/family room and its fireplace, is beautifully designed and appointed with wood cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances. The generous use of tray ceilings in many of the rooms enhance the sense of space and openness as does the neutral color palette. Adding to the appeal is the generous use of crown and wide baseboard molding throughout.

The oversized ensuite master bedroom offers a spacious sitting area, engineered wood flooring, tray ceiling, his and her walk-in closets and bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub and walk-in shower.
