Right Size Without Giving Up Character

Considering Clubside at Cherry Valley or Tapestry? The Brook House offers a distinctive alternative for downsizing in a neighborhood of exquisite homes gently skirting the links of Bedens Brook Club’s prestigious golf course. Originally designed by William Thompson and cleverly oriented around a pond, this home has the warmth of a farmhouse and a floor plan that makes downsizing especially appealing. Wide-plank floors and beamed ceilings bring texture to the open main living spaces, where the fireside great room flows easily into a modernized kitchen. A farm sink, Bertazzoni range, Miele hood, dishwasher and refrigerator give the kitchen serious credentials without sacrificing its relaxed feel. Just off the great room, the first-floor primary suite includes an exceptionally large custom walk-in closet and an updated bath with a spa tub and oversized shower. A separate utility wing holds another full bath and the laundry room, with access to the two-car garage and one section of the basement. Upstairs, a broad loft overlooks the main level and joins a guest bedroom and full bath, creating comfortable space for visitors without maintaining a house full of unused rooms. Nearly every part of the home connects to the outdoors through sliders opening to a composite deck that wraps around the house. The pretty 1+ acre grounds are fenced and gated, though some repairs are needed and there’s a garden shed. A separate exterior atrium door accesses another portion of the basement, where a windowed space could be turned into a home office. In an area of multi-million dollar homes, this is truly a compelling opportunity! Some photos have been virtually staged.
