3199 Brookfield Drive

Set among mature trees in Old Hickory, this substantial brick home offers the kind of space, setting, and architectural character that can be difficult to reproduce. Its traditional exterior gives way to generous, connected living spaces, including a fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases, a light-filled adjoining sitting room, and an expansive upper-level bonus room over the three-car garage.The kitchen and finishes have been thoughtfully updated over time while retaining the character of the home. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a tray ceiling and large bath beneath a dramatic skylight. Separate vanity areas provide everyday function, while the sunken jetted tub occupies its own architectural niche beneath the roofline, an original feature and an intriguing opportunity to embrace or reinterpret.Secondary bedrooms are comfortably sized, while the upper level offers considerably more usable space than the bedroom count alone suggests. Built-ins, substantial millwork, French doors, crown molding, and articulated ceilings lend character without making the home overly formal.The setting may be its strongest feature. A large, sunset-facing backyard shaded by lush, mature trees creates genuine outdoor living space, while trails to Friedman Park and neighborhood connections to nearby schools make it easy to leave the car behind for an evening walk, a run, or simply time outside.Generous proportions, an interesting floor plan, established surroundings, and enough individuality to reward the next owners ideas.
