Property Description
This enchanting expanded 4000+ sf colonial on a superb landscaped lot backing to parkland was built by renowned craftsman Cooper Lightbown who developed the Brookdale neighborhood to look like an English village. Lightbown built some of the magnificent mansions in Palm Beach where he was mayor. The beautifully designed expansions give you a new home layout with old world charm. See the floorplans. Green and private views from every window and every part of the garden. Main level has a gracious living room with FP, elegant dining room (new bay window coming!), gorgeous family room with cathedral ceiling open to the gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, stainless appliances, beautiful granite. Plus a sunroom and study/office, powder room! Random width floors, archways, built-ins....Flow out from the family and sunrooms onto the large back patio secluded in the courtyard with views of the garden and trees and parkland beyond. You will feel like you are in the country. Eat dinner "as fresco" and watch the fireflies in the summer while kids and pets play in the fenced garden. In the evening stroll up dead end park place between the house and the park or go to the end there is a cut through to the corner of River and Western. The mature garden (maintenance included) has tons of roses and perennials (see the pix of the spring bouquet you can make!). Upstairs you have a total of 5 BR 3 BA (2 recently renovated), walk-in closets. The lower level has a rec room with 2nd fireplace, legal bedroom, kitchenette, full bath (renovated) and large laundry and utility room, storage closets. The one storage room on the plan is NOT included. The realtor/trustee uses that to store staging and it has a separate entrance. Garage plus shed off driveway for bikes. Charming shed or playhouse in the back garden. The location can't be beat! A 10 minute walk (1/2 mi) to Friendship Heights Metro, shopping, dining, movies. Ft Bayard park which was a defensive fort during the Civil war is literally a block away with playground, ball field, sledding hill. Walk to Westbrook Elementary, more parks and playgrounds. The Brookdale community is a wonderful place to live, they have block parties and holiday events (July 4th, Art shows, Garden and Home tours). Ask me for a factsheet about the neighborhood! This home is enchanting, a rare opportunity to call this home.
