From the moment you step inside 27 Whirlaway Drive, you'll notice something that's hard to capture in photos: the sense of space. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and an open foyer filled with natural light create an inviting first impression that continues throughout the home.

Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, this Bryson II model offers over 3,500 square feet of flexible living space. Whether you're hosting holiday dinners in the formal dining room, gathering with friends around the fireplace, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee while sunlight pours through the additional living room windows, this home adapts beautifully to every season of life.

One feature you don't often find is the convenience of two staircases. In addition to the grand front staircase, a second rear staircase provides easy access to the upper level from the kitchen and living areas, making daily routines feel effortless while creating a thoughtful flow throughout the home.

The main-level bonus room offers endless possibilities as a home office, library, hobby space, playroom, or quiet retreat. Upstairs, the connected secondary bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families, study spaces, hobby rooms, or a private retreat for siblings. The primary suite serves as a peaceful escape with vaulted ceilings and an adjoining sitting room that can easily become a reading nook, home office, fitness space, or cozy place to unwind at the end of the day.

Downstairs, you'll find a finished in-law suite complete with a small kitchenette, spacious walk-in closet, full bathroom, and its own private walkout entrance-offering exceptional flexibility for extended guests, multi-generational living, or a private retreat. Beyond the finished space, a substantial unfinished area provides valuable storage today and the opportunity to create additional living space in the future, whether you envision a home gym, media room, workshop, or recreation area.

Outside, you'll appreciate the resurfaced driveway, spacious patio, and outdoor spaces that invite summer cookouts, morning coffee, and evenings spent relaxing with family and friends.

Just as impressive as the living spaces is the care this home has received over the years. Major updates include a roof replacement in 2020, a brand-new central air conditioning system installed in July 2026, and a tankless water heater added in 2025-providing peace of mind and helping reduce the cost and stress of major system replacements for years to come.

Beyond the home itself, the location offers the best of convenience and community. Situated north of the canal in the highly regarded Appoquinimink School District, you'll enjoy easy access to parks, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials while still coming home to a neighborhood that feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle.

Some homes fit your life today - this one has room to grow with you tomorrow.
