Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the back deck while deer wander through the Ponderosa Preserve just beyond your backyard. Tucked into a quiet Whispering Pines cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom, four-bath home backs directly to protected open space, offering privacy, mountain views and a setting that’s difficult to replicate. Inside, nearly 2, 900 finished square feet span three levels, including a finished walkout basement. The bright main level features hardwood floors, abundant natural light and an open kitchen, dining and living area centered around a cozy fireplace. The kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, generous storage and a large island. A covered deck extends the living space outdoors, while the walkout basement opens to a second covered patio and backyard. With a bedroom and full bath on the main level, three bedrooms upstairs, and an additional bedroom, bath and flexible living space downstairs, the layout offers options for guests, a home office, recreation space and more. The primary suite includes a spacious bedroom, ensuite bath and walk-in closet. An oversized side-load two-car garage with storage, xeriscaped nearly quarter-acre lot, dog run and fire pit complete the property. Whispering Pines residents also enjoy a community clubhouse and pool, parks and an extensive trail system, with convenient access to golf, shopping, dining and E-470.
