Located in the sought-after Eastbrooke community, this custom-built Gonyea home offers a refined blend of luxury, thoughtful design, and quality craftsmanship. Set on a premium walkout lot backing to a peaceful wooded area, the property provides a rare sense of privacy and natural beauty—right in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood. The home's welcoming front porch and carefully crafted exterior make a strong first impression. Inside, the open-concept layout is both elegant and functional, featuring wide-plank wood flooring, beamed ceilings, and stylish architectural touches. The main living area centers around a striking fireplace framed by built-in bookcases, offering a warm, sophisticated setting for everyday living or entertaining. Just off the great room, a main-floor office with a pocket door offers privacy for work or study. The gourmet kitchen is designed with both form and function in mind—complete with high-end stainless appliances, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and a large center island with a farmhouse sink and breakfast bar. A dedicated coffee bar and a walk-in pantry add convenience, while black-trimmed windows, enameled millwork, and custom cabinetry enhance the overall aesthetic. A deck would be easy to add & a reasonable bid is attached for convenience. The mudroom is equally impressive, featuring a built-in bench and an oversized walk-in closet to keep everything neatly organized.
Upstairs, a spacious landing connects four well-appointed bedrooms. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while another has its own private en-suite. Each bedroom includes a walk-in closet for ample storage. A second-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience, and a large bonus room provides versatile space for a playroom, media room, or lounge.
The unfinished walkout lower level is flooded with natural light thanks to large windows along the back wall—ready to be transformed into a home theater, gym, additional office, or guest suite. Additional highlights include a 700+ square foot garage, in-ground irrigation, and a premium reverse osmosis water filtration system. This nearly new home is completely move-in ready, offering modern amenities with timeless style. Just a short walk from the neighborhood playscape, a few moments drive to the elementary school and conveniently close to East Ridge High School, this is a rare opportunity to own a stunning, high-quality home in one of the area's premier communities, getting the best of both worlds with all that both Cottage Grove & Woodbury have to offer!
