Welcome to 135 Whaler Avenue in West Lake -- the home that doesn't just check the boxes, it goes further.Like other homes in the neighborhood, you'll get pond views, an open floor plan, a kitchen island, a gas log fireplace, and a second-floor loft. But 135 Whaler takes it several steps beyond: a full downstairs primary suite with its own sitting room overlooking the water, direct deck access, an oversized walk-in shower, double vanities, and a large walk-in closet -- not just a first-floor bedroom, a genuine retreat. The primary's wood floors were matched seamlessly to the rest of the home, and fresh paint throughout gives the whole house a move-in-ready feel.The kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, soft-close cabinets and drawers throughout, upgraded hardware, and a custom-shelved pantry behind a sliding barn door. Replaced can lighting brightens the main living spaces, and crown molding runs through every room in the house, including the 9-ft ceiling half bath -- a level of finish you won't find in every West Lake listing. This home has also been well cared for where it counts: the tankless water heater has been professionally maintained every year, and the outside HVAC unit was replaced in 2025 -- one less thing for the next owner to think about. Storage and parking set this home apart too: a 3-car garage with epoxy flooring and built-in shelving, a laundry room with a garage drop zone, a front hall closet that extends under the stairs, and walk-in plus pull-down attic access. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath with double vanities join the loft -- office, media room, hobby space, or whatever fits your needs. Out back is where the current owners say this home really won them over -- "the backyard sold us." A screened porch, a new deck, and a fenced yard overlook the pond and fountain, with extra green space between homes for added privacy. You still get everything West Lake and Cane Bay Plantation offer -- golf cart trails, the pool, pickleball courts, playgrounds, food truck Fridays, and quick access to I-26, Hwy 176, and the YMCA. The difference is what's waiting for you inside -- and out back. Updated. Upgraded. Move-in ready. Schedule your showing today.
