1135 Brookdale Ln., Stanley, NC 28164

Tucked on a desirable corner lot, this home offers one of the more private, wooded settings in the sought-after Gates at Waterside community—complete with clubhouse, outdoor pool, playground, and sidewalks for easy neighborhood living. A classic rocking chair front porch welcomes you in, where wood floors and an easy, open layout make the main level feel both functional and relaxed. The kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, and a breakfast bar and casual dining area that overlooks the rear deck and peaceful, wooded yard. Just off the kitchen, a formal dining room with coffered ceiling and a cozy family room with gas fireplace offer great spaces to gather. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the spacious owner’s suite feels like a true retreat, with a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a separate garden tub and shower. Three additional bedrooms, a shared bath with dual sinks, and a generous ~320 SF loft give everyone room to spread out. A full-size laundry room with storage and a side-load 2-car garage round out the home. All of it, set in a community people love—this one just happens to come with a little extra privacy out back.
