Home Description: 5725 Brookwood Rd

Timeless and serene, this magnificent Mediterranean Farmhouse sits on 3.38 acres in the historical gated community of Brendonwood. A close-knit, walkable neighborhood with mature trees and a golf course on the river: the idyllic backdrop for families and neighbors to play golf, bocce and pickleball together, to gather for holidays throughout the year, or seek the solitude needed to escape the hustle-and-bustle of modern life. The estate is one of the first built in Brendonwood with a main house, guest house, pool and workshop. Commissioned in 1923 by Harry A. Sharp, founder of Sharp Ford Co, Inc., designed by architect Robert F. Daggett, the house has been fully renovated by current owners by carefully conserving many of its original elements. The foyer welcomes you into the home with its impressive 10' ceilings throughout. The original leaded glass doorways and the terrazzo tile floor lead you to the loggia where the arched walnut doors playfully meet the hand painted ceiling beams. The formal living room displays a majestic "barrel-vault" ceiling and expansive wood burning fireplace surrounded by rich wood paneling and bookcases. The updated kitchen showcases costume cabinets and high end appliances extending into a charming breakfast room with its original corner hutch and leaded glass windows. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level and two additional bedrooms with two baths on the upper level. The fifth bedroom is in the guest house with a second kitchen and a full bath. It is the perfect space for in-laws, guests, or older offspring. The large primary suite on the main floor with ensuite bath in Dolomite and Calacatta marble and heated tile floors is the ideal owners' retreat. The lower level lives large with a bright great room and the original house cellar currently used to store wine. This property is for the discerning buyer looking to find one-of-a-kind home and incredible outdoor living within the city, close to all amenities and great school options.
