The most unexpected experiences in life often take place during the moments that also evoke almost indescribable emotion and intrigue. Down Brooke is the exceptional property that will create that magical emotional response as your eyes widen upon your first sighting. Set on over 1 acre, the charming bungalow has been tastefully updated and has surprises at every turn. Perhaps the most welcome surprise is a fabulous 300 square foot studio that is not included in the taxable living area, and which has electricity and heating/cooling. It is an idyllic setting for creative, tranquil and inspired thoughts and activities. As you drive up the long driveway you’ll see ample parking for plenty of guests, and you may envision a renewed interest in hosting and entertaining. As you approach the home, you are greeted by a welcoming porch with new vinyl siding, a new roof on the main home and studio, and modern conveniences. Enter your new home and hold your breath as you take in the new flooring, updated fixtures and open concept. The living room flows perfectly into the dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen has been tastefully updated w/ stainless appliances, granite countertops and ample, custom cabinetry. At the rear of the home is a perfect family room or media room. It enjoys great natural light and is enhanced by beautiful hardwood floors. The main level has two bedrooms and is flanked by a renovated hall bath. The hall bath includes new tile, a new double vanity and a fresh coat of paint. The main level also features a laundry room with a premium Kenwood washer and dryer. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features gorgeous hardwood floors, skylights and closet space. The outdoor space, lovingly maintained, must be seen to be appreciated. Other updates include a newer heat pump, new water heater, new well pump, water filtration system, multiple sheds, swing set, patio, and flat yard. The home is certified lead-free as well!
