Stunning Pool Home with $200K in Thoughtful Upgrades in Gated Community of Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour. Welcome to 8840 Brookfield Terrace, where pride of ownership and modern comfort meet in one of East Manatee's most desirable gated communities. This expansive 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with a dedicated office and flexible den offers nearly 2,900 square feet of refined living space on an oversized lot. Since purchasing the home, the owners have invested approximately $200,000 in comprehensive updates-creating a residence that's truly move-in ready. The heart of the home features a reimagined kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances (2024), granite countertops, professionally painted cabinetry, updated fixtures, and hardware. Stylish new luxury vinyl plank flooring and plush carpeting were installed in 2022, complemented by fresh paint inside and out, new ceiling fans, and designer lighting throughout. The home is pre-wired for a whole-house generator, offering peace of mind and added value. While the generator itself is not installed, the upgraded electrical panel allows the entire home to run off one when needed. The newer hot water heater (2024) is powered by both solar and electric, providing energy efficiency and flexibility. A full home security system is also in place for added protection and peace of mind. Additional improvements include enhanced plumbing systems, and other functional upgrades throughout. The spacious primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, updated shower area, and additional cosmetic enhancements to elevate both style and comfort. The outdoor space is ideal for entertaining with a solar-heated saltwater pool, upgraded Pentair system with remote access, and an extended pavered deck. Thoughtful landscaping upgrades, including over $6,000 in added privacy enhancements, complete the backyard oasis. Stoneybrook is a golf-cart friendly, resort-style neighborhood with amenities including a public golf course, community pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, and more. Located just minutes from I-75, residents enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, plus a short drive to Florida's award-winning Gulf Coast beaches. This home combines modern updates, everyday functionality, and prime location-offering the best of Florida living.
