First time on the market! This extraordinary estate in Deerbrook Estates offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's finest homes. Designed by architect Jim Gooden and built by Alan Simmons in 1995, the residence showcases timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design across 8,246 SF of living space, including a full walk-out basement. Nestled on approximately 2 acres of pristine, park-like wooded land at the end of a private street, the setting feels remarkably secluded while still offering quick access to Ball State University and the shopping and dining along McGalliard Road. Though the address is Muncie, the home is located in the highly sought-after Yorktown School District. The interior is both grand and inviting, featuring 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths, and multiple gathering spaces. Soaring 26-foot windows in the living room frame breathtaking woodland views, while the main floor screened porch off the kitchen invites indoor-outdoor living. Fine millwork and custom carpentry are evident throughout, underscoring the quality of the home. Additional highlights include a 3-car attached garage, a separate brick storage and kennel structure, and carefully designed outdoor living areas. The home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years, with refinished hardwood floors, select Marvin window replacements, a newer tankless water heater, and a freshly redone exterior walkway (2023). Recent paint touch-ups ensure a move-in ready experience. A 12-foot Christmas tree, perfectly suited for the soaring living room windows, is also included with the home. With an HOA fee of only $600 annually, Deerbrook Estates remains one of Muncie's most desirable communities. A virtual tour is available, and immediate possession makes this exceptional property even more appealing.
