MODERN MEDITERRANEAN WITH OVER 5,000 SQFT, EXPANSIVE SPACES

Open house: Sunday, Jan. 8, 12-4 p.m.

Expansive spaces and contemporary style define the house at 4163 Brookport Dr., near Midway Road and Royal Lane in Meadowbrook Terrace.

The bright entryway is decorated with 1-million-year-old boulders from the red rock Arizona desert, and the dining room easily seats 12. The kitchen is roomy, with two pantries, a large center island, and stainless steel appliances, including double ovens. A huge master suite (21-by-21) has French doors leading to the backyard, and a bonus room off the master could easily be converted into a closet worthy of Imelda Marcos’ shoe collection. The master bath offers a jetted dub, dual vanities, and walk-in shower. The second and third bedrooms have a Jack-and-Jill layout, sharing a bathroom, and both are generously sized. The large backyard could easily accommodate a new swimming pool, pied-à-terre, or outdoor living oasis.
