Tucked among the towering, 200-year-old oak trees of Charmaine, one of Frankfort's most coveted hidden gems, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers the perfect blend of timeless elegance, modern updates, and luxurious everyday living. With more than 7,000 square feet of finished and unfinished space, this all-brick-and-stone home offers an incredible amount of room to live, entertain, and make your own. From the moment you enter, rich hand-scraped maple flooring, 9-foot ceilings, and thoughtfully designed architectural details create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The main level features a private office with French doors, formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room, convenient laundry room, and an impressive chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen showcases Thermador appliances, a walk-in pantry, generous cabinetry, an eating area, and newly installed quartz countertops and updated hardware. Open to the family room which creates an inviting gathering space anchored by a stunning stone fireplace. Step outside and discover your own private backyard retreat. A beautiful paver patio, outdoor stone fireplace, putting green, professional landscape lighting, and mature oak canopy create an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings at home. A distinctive T-shaped staircase leads to the second level, where all five bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for privacy and functionality. The luxurious primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired en-suite bath with marble flooring, a double-sink vanity, an expansive walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. Four additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility, with Jack-and-Jill bath access thoughtfully connecting bedrooms 2 & 3 as well as bedrooms 4 & 5. Whether you need guest accommodations, children's bedrooms, creative space, or a dedicated home office, the floor plan adapts beautifully to your lifestyle. The approximately 2,000-square-foot basement, complete with 10-foot ceilings and roughed-in plumbing, offers tremendous potential for future finished living space-a home theater, recreation area, gym, bar, additional guest suite, or whatever your vision may be. Additional highlights include a 4-car heated garage, dual-zoned HVAC, whole-house generator, underground sprinkler system, gutter guards, plantation shutters, updated light fixtures, a new front door, whole-house paint and wallpaper updates, and convenient attic storage. As an extension of Butternut Woods, Charmaine delivers an extraordinary sense of privacy and connection to nature while remaining close to everything Frankfort has to offer-including award-winning schools, shopping, restaurants, parks, walking trails, and more. Beautifully updated, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by nature, this is more than a home-it's a private Frankfort retreat designed for the way you want to live.
