About 285 Brookside Dr
Tucked away on a sheltered cul de sac you'll find this hidden gem, a beautiful ranch home full of surprises and possibilities. Surrounded by almost a quarter acre of mature trees, Norway maples & towering spruces among them, the Trex front porch has a fairytale charm with its turning stair, beautiful white railings & hanging baskets. Stepping inside, the surprisingly spacious great room features a large dining area and family room overlooking the porch through the picture window. Gleaming new luxury vinyl plank flooring and newly painted soft white walls throughout give a unity to the 1st floor. Open the door from the great room to find the two main floor bedrooms with windows looking out into the trees, & full bath with accessible shower. Another door - surprise!- turns out to be a large walk-in pantry/linen storage room. Then there's the alcove next to the bathroom which could be a vanity or bath essentials nook. The kitchen offers new butcher block countertops and new lighting as well as a newer ss fridge with double French doors. Glance to your left and see the large doorwall giving out on to the wonderful Trex deck. From the deck itself, you can see down into the little valley behind the home and a magical view of the woods.
