5967 Whelan Lane

Welcome to 5967 Whelan Lane in Frederick, Maryland: a home that feels like it stepped straight out of a modern storybook. Blending cottage-core charm with contemporary convenience, this beautifully maintained home offers thoughtfully designed spaces, custom upgrades, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to imagine yourself settling right in. Built in 2019, the home's major systems, including the roof, HVAC, water heater, windows, and more, are only seven years old, providing peace of mind for years to come. Since then, the owners have added numerous custom upgrades, including a fully fenced backyard, ground-level deck, charming breakfast nook, custom built-in office space, decorative wall framing in the bedrooms and living room, and a stunning built-in media wall with shelving and cabinetry. Every detail feels intentional, creating a home that's both functional and full of personality. Outside, the fenced backyard offers the perfect extension of the living space. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee, tending to container gardens, hosting friends around a firepit, or simply enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, the space feels private and peaceful. It's the kind of yard that begs you to read a book with a cup of tea. Located in one of Maryland's most beloved historic cities, Frederick offers a unique blend of small-town charm and modern amenities. Founded in 1745, the city played important roles during both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and is now known for its beautifully preserved downtown, thriving restaurant scene, and vibrant arts community. Just minutes from home, you'll find shopping and everyday conveniences at Westview Promenade, along with nearby grocery options including Wegmans, Giant Food, and Costco Wholesale. Dining options range from local favorites in downtown Frederick to popular restaurants like Dutches Daughter Restaurant in the Ballenger Creek area. One of my personal favorite is the Prospect Point Brewery which features yummy local beer and a playground for the kids (or adults) to run off some energy. Outdoor recreation is abundant, with Ballenger Creek Park, Carroll Creek Park, Baker Park all within about 15 minutes and Sophie and Madigans Playground is right around the corner. Commuters will appreciate convenient access to I-70, I-270, Route 15, and Route 340, providing direct routes to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. The Frederick MARC Station is approximately 1015 minutes away, offering weekday rail service toward Washington, D.C. For travelers, both IAD and BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport are generally within about 4560 minutes. With its custom finishes, storybook-inspired charm, modern systems, and convenient location, 5967 Whelan Lane offers something truly special.
