Whispering Creek home offers plenty of options for all

"Being able to see it go from a vacant empty home without furnishings and, then, seeing it actually furnished elegantly and watching it go from being a house to a home, I think has been really fun for me," Pfaffle said. "She has really nice taste and all of her furnishings are appropriate for the house and augment the design and daily living."

The three-bed, two-bath home at 2655 Albatross Ridge is currently on the market and being presented by Pfaffle. She said the home, which was built in 2022 by Koskovich & Murphy Development, is ideal for anyone looking for a new build and/or a low maintenance home on a golf course. Pfaffle described the 2,105-square-foot domicile, which overlooks hole 17 and the tee box of hole 18, as "versatile" and able to accommodate a range of buyers, from empty nesters to families. The home, which sits on 0.82 acres, has an unfinished walkout basement and a spacious backyard with enough room for a pool.

"It's not a two-story, so you don't have to worry about steps. It makes it easier for it to be versatile for anybody, really," Pfaffle said.

The main living spaces feature tray ceilings and matching light fixtures throughout, which Pfaffle said "adds to the cohesiveness of the space." Stairs just off the foyer leading to the basement have custom metal railings. The home features 10 to 11-foot ceilings and rich, dark hardwood plank flooring with variable plank sizes. 

"That gives it a hyper-custom feel, versus, a lot of times, you'll see the same width," Pfaffle said. 

Light pours through west-facing black aluminum windows into the open concept living room, dining room and custom kitchen. A covered concrete patio, which can be accessed from the dining room, provides expansive views of the golf course. 

"The sunsets here are wonderful," Pfaffle said. 

The living room has wood beam accents on the ceiling, an electric linear fireplace surrounded by tile and flanked by built-in cabinets. 

"You don't always see built-ins on the sides, and these are different," Pfaffle said. "These have a lot of mass to them, which add to the oomph of the fireplace wall. So it really makes it stand out and pop." 

Highlights of the kitchen include two-toned custom cabinetry from Dakota Kitchen & Bath in Sioux Falls, a gas range, which the seller added, and GE appliances. Pfaffle said she appreciates that all of the light fixtures are from the same suite, which she said "really just brings everything together." A large quartz island, which contains a dishwasher, sink and storage space also provides ample seating. The neutral tile backsplash's shape and pattern is on trend, but Pfaffle also describe it as "timeless."

"A lot of times you'll see a wild color or something that shape-wise really sticks to a period. This, to me, is timeless," she said. 

Just off the kitchen is a pantry and a hallway, which leads to the spacious primary en suite. A tray ceiling, soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower, granite dual sink vanity, separate water and linen closets, and heated tile floor round out the space's offerings. Off the bathroom is an over-sized walk-in closet. The laundry room is conveniently nestled between the walk-in closet and a mudroom, which has a door leading to the three-car garage. 

"It's very common in new builds," Pfaffle said of the layout. "It's nice to have this connected when you come home." 

There is plenty of entertaining space outdoors, with a lower level patio that is plumbed with a gas line for grilling. Pfaffle said the unfinished basement offers additional sleeping and entertaining space.

"It's plumbed for a bathroom and wet bar. You could put one to two bedrooms down there. There's a lot of bonus space for hobbies, entertaining, so it's a blank slate," she said.
