8909 Brookfield Ter., Bradenton, FL 34212

Are YOU prepared to view one of the most Impressive Homes in this price range in Manatee County? With close to 100K in after-market improvements, this home is a stunning reflection of an owner who cherishes pride of ownership, elegance, comfort, and convenience. Emerald Green Palm Trees, Colorful Bougainvillea & Exotic Florida foliage greet you for a Fabulous First Impression. A brick pavered pathway weaves through this visually stunning landscape to a Prominently Pillared Portico. Moving to the rear of the home, gorgeous brick pavers canvass a refreshed and updated salt water pool and spa that overlook a long view of a lake (not a small pond, mind you). Tropical preserves offer privacy while the golf course can be seen in the near distance. A beautiful oak tree, with outstretched limbs and shimmering green leaves, add texture to this fabulous view. This "trifecta" lake, golf course, & preserves would command a massive premium in the new home sale market today. The lanai, which encompasses the whole expanse of the backside of the home, offers a tremendous outdoor living experience. Wood paneling in the overreaching covered space provides a warm touch while a retractable awning provides shade during the summer months. Along those lines, the diminutive front elevations of today's new homes pale in comparison to this grand entrance. As you take your first steps through the glass inset double door entry, anticipation gives way to awe as you soak in the immensely satisfying manifestation of this owner's vision. The freshly painted interior gives way to an enduring Sophistication & Modern Flair that would make an interior designer blush with envy. The stylish warm grey tones of the floors & walls extend through the main areas of the home for a delightful continuity too. The voluminous ceilings are a signature highlight and extend the reach of soft natural for a brightly illuminated interior. The kitchen, which signifies the very essence of a "WOW" factor, showcases a large 2 1/2 inch thick granite counter with cabinet storage on all 4 sides of the island. Newer Stainless Steel appliances, a Wine refrigerator, Decorative recessed cabinetry, and a Gorgeous backsplash with movement round out the extraordinary kitchen. The main living area boasts four large windows and two large sliders that capture splashes of aqua blues from the pool and the rich green hues of the preserves. The first floor Owner's Retreat is spacious and features crown molding, plantation shutters, & large closets with a built in master closet system. The en-suite bath is simply striking with highlights that include a freestanding soaking tub and frameless shower enclosure. Moving on to the second level, the balcony enhances the open feel of this floorplan while the roomy bedrooms offer a private escape for both family & friends. The rear facing bedroom is a terrific spot for a den or office too. If I were to cover all of the features of this home, I would give the length of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace a run for his money...so you will have to schedule an appointment to see the rest! Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club's star grows brighter as SR 64 continues its ascension as a primary gateway to I-75, Lakewood Ranch, shops and restaurants, and some of the world's best beaches. Amenities abound in the community, and include a recreational facility that offers a resort style pool, fitness, tennis, golf, & more!
