Set within the sought-after Paddocks of Brookside in Warrenton, this impressive craftsman-inspired residence offers the rare combination buyers dream about: generous living space, timeless architectural detail, a beautifully usable homesite, and a community lifestyle that feels both peaceful and connected. Brookside is known for its expansive, nature-focused setting, with approximately 1,000 acres, miles of trails, lakes, pools, clubhouses, fitness amenities, sport courts, playgrounds, and catch-and-release fishing woven throughout the neighborhood. It is the kind of community where morning walks, bike rides, pool days, and evening lake views become part of everyday life.
From the moment you step inside, the home makes a beautiful first impression. A large welcoming foyer sets the tone for the main level, where hardwood floors, wide baseboards, lovely moldings, and an easy, elegant flow create spaces that feel both polished and comfortable. Formal living and dining rooms offer classic entertaining space, while a bright main-level office with large windows provides the perfect place to work, read, or simply enjoy a quiet moment away from the activity of the home.
At the heart of the home is the stunning gourmet kitchen, thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, abundant white cabinetry, recessed lighting, pendant lighting, and a large center island with a gas cooktop. The adjoining breakfast area keeps everyday meals casual and connected, while the kitchen's open layout allows it to flow effortlessly into the family room and the spectacular sunroom. With walls of windows, a vaulted ceiling, and French doors leading to the deck, the sunroom is a natural gathering place -- bright, cheerful, and perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the expansive backyard.
The family room continues the warm and inviting feel with deep crown molding, backyard views, and a beautiful stone fireplace that anchors the space with just the right amount of charm. Whether it is a cozy night in, a full house for the holidays, or a casual Saturday with everyone gathered around the kitchen, this main level was made for real life -- just with better lighting and prettier trim.
Upstairs, the first upper level offers an incredible five-bedroom layout. The oversized primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with a vaulted ceiling, a sitting area overlooking the backyard, two walk-in closets, and a gorgeous ensuite bath featuring tile flooring, a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and dual-sink vanity. Four additional light-filled bedrooms complete this level, with two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath and two sharing a well-appointed hall bath -- a thoughtful setup that gives everyone space without sacrificing convenience.
The second upper level adds even more flexibility, offering a vaulted sixth bedroom, a full bath, and an additional vaulted room that can become whatever life calls for next: a playroom, homework lounge, studio, office, guest retreat, or the kind of secret hideaway every home should probably have. The lower level spans the full footprint of the home, walks out to the backyard, and is currently unfinished -- creating incredible storage now and endless possibilities for the future. Think recreation room, media space, fitness area, guest suite, bar, workshop, or all of the above.
Outside, the home sits on just over three-quarters of an acre of flat, usable space -- a true luxury in a community setting. The backyard offers room to play, garden, entertain, relax, or create the outdoor living space you have always imagined. It is expansive without feeling overwhelming and perfectly suited for everything from quiet mornings on the deck to big backyard celebrations.
