Homeowner Property

Maintaining Your Property

Because Whisperwood is located within Reston, your property must be in compliance with the Whisperwood and Reston Association design guidelines.  These rules and regulations have been created over time by previous board members in conjunction with Reston Association.

We are aware that much of the original equipment (light fixtures, paint colors, siding colors, gingerbread) is no longer available.  Our Architectural Review committee is working with our Reston Covenants Counselor to get our "book" up to date with current model numbers.

Non-Compliance

Non-Compliance with the building regulations will mostly affect you if you want to sell your Townhome.  Prior to replacing anything on the outside of your home, please check with Reston Association.  This will save you time, money and much aggravation.

Using the excuse, "but all my neighbors did the same thing", doesn't mean it will pass inspection, and may hold up the sale of your townhome.  Unless the paint color, light fixture, deck stain or anything on the outside of the home is in the Whisperwood Book Of Standards, it is NOT approved.
