703 Waveland Drive, Woodstock

A Private Backyard Oasis in One of Woodstock's Most Established Communities Welcome to a wonderfully spacious five-bedroom home in one of Woodstock's most sought-after established neighborhoods, where beautiful brick homes, mature surroundings and a true sense of community come together just minutes from the dining, shopping, entertainment and charm of Historic Downtown Woodstock. Located in the highly desirable Brookshire community, this three-story home offers five bedrooms, 3.5 baths and an abundance of finished living space designed for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining. Brookshire is especially appealing to families, with two community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, neighborhood park and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and connect with neighbors. Inside, new wood flooring and carpet throughout create a fresh, inviting feel while preserving the generous proportions and character of the original home. The main level features an open-concept layout centered around a dramatic two-story family room, where built-in bookcases and cabinetry frame a beautiful two-sided fireplace. A dedicated office provides a quiet space for working or studying, while a glass-front dry bar creates an elegant connection between the family and dining rooms. The spacious dining room is perfectly suited for holidays, dinner parties and large family gatherings. The kitchen and baths have received thoughtful updates while retaining much of the home's original character and warmth. Downstairs, the expansive finished basement adds an entirely different dimension to the home. A large family and entertaining area features built-in shelving, cabinetry and a bar, while a separate rubber-floored exercise room offers flexibility for a home gym, playroom or hobby space. A private bedroom and full bath make the lower level ideal for guests, extended family members or a comfortable retreat. French doors open directly to the backyard and outdoor living spaces. Your Own Private Backyard Retreat Perhaps the most special feature of this home is the exceptionally private fenced backyard. The property backs directly to federally managed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, creating a peaceful, wooded setting that feels wonderfully secluded-yet is remarkably close to everything Downtown Woodstock has to offer. Multiple decks overlook the backyard and a charming small running pond, creating inviting spaces for morning coffee, summer dinners, entertaining friends or simply unwinding at the end of the day. As evening falls, fireflies add a little magic to the setting, making this backyard feel like a true retreat. The home has also benefited from numerous meaningful improvements, including new windows throughout, three HVAC systems, a newer roof and water heater, plumbing and electrical updates, refreshed interior and exterior paint, three adjoining decks, refreshed landscaping and an irrigation system. With five bedrooms, three finished levels, abundant gathering spaces, a private backyard oasis and an established neighborhood filled with amenities for families, this home offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, community and convenience all in one place. And with Historic Downtown Woodstock just minutes away and easy access to I-575, you are never far from the restaurants, shops, events, trails and vibrant community life that make Woodstock such a special place to call home. Come discover a home where there is room to gather, room to grow and room to simply enjoy life.
