Timeless Brick Colonial in Prestigious Old Brookville Nestled within the exclusive village of Old Brookville, this stately 1926 brick Colonial offers an exceptional combination of privacy, elegance, and timeless craftsmanship. Situated on 2.5 acres of lush, secluded grounds, this expansive 5,500 sq ft residence features 7 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and a wealth of architectural charm throughout. A private drive welcomes you to the property, leading to the front entrance of the home and a detached three-car garage with an unfinished loft above—offering excellent potential for a studio, office, or guest quarters. Inside, the main level is designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The gracious living room features a wood-burning fireplace and a double set of French doors that open to a covered bluestone patio overlooking the serene property. A richly appointed mahogany library with built-ins and a fireplace provides a warm retreat, while the formal dining room also includes a fireplace and French doors to a covered brick patio—perfect for al fresco dining. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and an 8-burner Viking gas range. An elevated countertop with seating, a breakfast nook area with oversized French doors, a butler’s pantry with a second sink and dishwasher, and a large mudroom enhance functionality and flow. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary with his-and-hers bathrooms, dual walk-in closets, and a fireplace. Additional second-floor bedrooms include a second bedroom with en suite, two additional bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill style bathroom, and a private back stair wing leading to a sitting area, full bath, and bedroom—ideal for guests or au pair quarters. The walk-up attic offers even more flexible space with two large rooms and a full bathroom—perfect for use as bedrooms, a home office, gym, or recreational space. The partially finished basement includes a large bonus room, laundry area, utility room, sauna, and walk-out access to the front yard. Outdoor amenities abound, including expansive lawns, mature trees, a fenced-in in-ground pool with patio area, and multiple covered outdoor living spaces. With its combination of classic architecture, modern updates, and complete privacy in one of Long Island's most desirable communities, this home presents a rare opportunity to own a true estate property.
