Set on a level, landscaped lot in the desirable Plantation at Brookwood, this lime-washed brick-front residence offers an exceptional blend of space, privacy, beauty and outdoor living. Best of all, this is one of only a handful of homes in the community where a lake backdrop unfolds directly beyond the fenced backyard—a rare setting that feels like a private retreat. From the moment you arrive, the home's welcoming presence is evident. A gracious two-story foyer opens to spacious living areas designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Hardwood flooring, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light create an inviting sense of scale, while the family room becomes a natural gathering place with its gas-log fireplace and tranquil views toward the lake and surrounding wooded setting. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen offers the features today's discerning Buyers appreciate, including crisp white cabinetry, stone countertops, a center island, new stainless-steel appliances and pantry, all with an easy connection to the family room. Imagine beginning the morning with coffee at the kitchen island or stepping outside to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and lake views. The separate dining room is generously sized for memorable holiday gatherings, dinner parties and celebrations with family and friends. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite provides a private retreat with vaulted ceilings and a spacious bath featuring a double vanity, separate tub and shower, and classic soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms and a conveniently located upper-level laundry room provide ample space for family, guests or dedicated work-from-home spaces. And then there is the terrace level—an extraordinary extension of the home's living space and an entertainer's dream. The finished daylight basement features a private bedroom and full bath, a spacious family and recreation area anchored by custom built-in bookcases, a wet bar perfect for serving guests, and a workshop, along with interior entry and walk-out access to the backyard. Whether hosting game night, enjoying movie night with family, creating a private guest retreat or accommodating multigenerational living, this versatile level offers the kind of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Outside, the magic of this property truly comes into focus. The level, cleared and landscaped lot creates a beautiful backdrop for outdoor living, while the fenced backyard offers privacy and room to relax, play, entertain and keep four-legged family members safely contained. Multiple outdoor spaces—including a front porch, rear porch, deck and terrace-level patio—invite you to enjoy the changing seasons and peaceful lakefront setting.
