About this home

This spectacular one-level contemporary masterpiece at 26 Whispering Bells Court offers the pinnacle of luxury living within The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. Inside, an abundance of strategically added windows floods the open floor plan with radiant natural light. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a sophisticated double-island configuration, pairing a porcelain-topped main island with a secondary island crafted from pristine quartz. Premium porcelain extends across all other perimeter countertops and the matching full-height slab backsplash, flawlessly unifying the culinary workspace. Effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining is realized through zero-entry accordion doors that open completely to a magnificent screened lanai, beautifully designed with integrated heaters and added skylights for a bright, all-season sanctuary. The primary suite serves as a completely private oasis, designed with unmatched attention to detail. The spacious bedroom is uniquely elevated by custom integrated curtains, and features an elegant built-in bed that remains with the home. Beyond the sleeping quarters, the showroom-style walk-in closet is a masterpiece of organization, complete with a custom center island and a highly convenient secondary laundry setup. The spa-like ensuite bath offers a true retreat, boasting a sleek zero-entry shower and a premium Bain Ultra heated freestanding soaking tub, creating a flawless and tranquil space to unwind. The home is equally well-appointed for family or guests, offering two bright and spacious bedrooms, each featuring its own private bathroom and generous closet storage.
