This Canterbury model by Brookfield is about as big as a home in Braemar gets.  Six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms over four finished levels with over 5400 square feet of living space.  On the main level, enter in the foyer with formal living and dining rooms flanking the center hall.  Living room to your right has French doors separating it from the study, currently being used as a fun jazz themed bar room the current owners have named the voodoo lounge.  The dining room has a Butler's Pantry pass through to the kitchen.  The informal rooms of the home are in the back and are all open to one another.  Kitchen, breakfast room and family room.  This is no doubt where most of your guests will gather when you entertain.  And there are two doors from this area to the large wood deck just outside.  Step down from that to the hot tub.  

 

A few more details about the main level, there is a powder room, mud room, large pantry, built-in desk in the kitchen and the laundry room is off the mud room.

 

On the second level is where you find the majority of the bedrooms, including the palatial owner's suite with two walk-in closets and a luxury bathroom that features a jetted soaking tub between two vanities.  There is also a separate stall shower and a water closet.  

 

Of the remaining three bedrooms on this level, one has its own full bathroom, another is attached to a Jack & Jill style bathroom with separate vanities.  The hall entrance serves the fourth bedroom.  

 

Up yet another flight of stairs and you will find a perfect princess suite. A bedroom, bathroom and small living area all sitting atop this home like a cherry on a sundae.

 

The basement offers a large recreation area, another bedroom (that's number six if you're counting) and another full bathroom (number five.)  There is some unfinished space for storage, but with all the space in the house, and the two car garage, how much more space does one need?

 

Situated on a corner lot, you may think this home is lacking for a back yard, with is not true.  Half of the back yard has been turned to a mulch area for ease of maintenance.  

 

This home is zoned to T. Clay Wood Elementary School, Marsteller Middle School and Patriot High School.   

 

Patience is needed when buying this home.  It is a Short Sale, meaning two banks must approve short pay offs on loans.  Estimated wait time for approval would be about ninety days.  A short time to wait for so much space in my opinion.
