A rare opportunity in the gated community of Brookstone! Situated on 1.09 acres, this custom-built 2007 home offers just under 4,500 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 half bath, along with a tile roof, whole-house generator and an impressive combination of space, character and thoughtful custom features.

One of the home's most memorable features is its architecturally distinctive main living space, where a curved wall of windows fills the room with natural light and creates multiple areas for gathering, conversation and relaxation. A centrally positioned gas fireplace serves as a striking focal point and adds to the truly custom character of the space.

The spacious gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a large center island, multiple pantries, a gas range and dual ovens, including a convection oven. An adjoining breakfast area provides plenty of room for casual dining, while the separate formal dining room with crown molding offers a more traditional setting for entertaining.

The first floor also includes a private office with an adjoining half bath, plus a bedroom and full bath - an excellent arrangement for overnight guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite features a double inset tray ceiling with crown molding, generous walk-in closets and a spacious private bath.

The additional bedrooms offer excellent closet space, including walk-in closets, while the upstairs laundry is conveniently located near the bedrooms. An additional den/flex space opens directly onto a covered second-floor balcony, creating an inviting spot for a second living area, reading room, hobby space or private retreat.

Outdoor living continues with a covered front porch, rear patio and outdoor kitchen, all surrounded by more than an acre of property. Additional highlights include natural gas, a whole-house generator and a separate air-conditioned storage room within the garage, providing valuable temperature-controlled space for storage, hobbies or collectibles.

With its distinctive architecture, generous room sizes, exceptional storage, tile roof, expansive homesite and hard-to-find location within gated Brookstone, this custom home offers a combination of space, functionality and character you simply don't find in many newer homes.
