Anyone driving through the upscale Brookstone neighborhood nestled among the natural beauty of Stony Brook, within a stone's throw of Greenway Meadows and Johnson Park School, is sure to admire the gracious homes on luxuriously large lots. This 2+ acre property is encircled by majestic trees with a broad deck hovering above a circular firepit patio within the huge backyard. The gracefully curved driveway is generously sized with plenty of space for guest parking and basketball games. As you would expect, the interior is roomy with hardwood floors and neutral colors enhancing the easy elegance. Beyond the formal rooms, an enclosed porch with vaulted ceiling is especially airy. The well-planned eat-in kitchen stands at the heart of the home within steps of the family room, where a brick fireplace with stone hearth joins a wide bank of windows. A study loaded with built-ins is perfect for a home office or to serve as a quiet spot to unwind. Five upper bedrooms include the corner primary suite with 3 closets, as well as a second suite with a big bright bathroom. The hall bath has a granite-topped double vanity, while an extra full bath is located beside the laundry room on the main floor. Go ahead and dream big with any future improvements. In this neighborhood, the sky’s the limit!
