A rare opportunity in the heart of Murray Hill! Welcome to 8 Brooke Avenue, a stunning 2015 Traynor Brothers-built Craftsman offering nearly 5,000 square feet of beautifully finished living space just steps from Downtown Annapolis. Combining timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and the space and amenities today's luxury buyer desires, this extraordinary home features 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, a main-level office/optional 6th bedroom, three finished levels, and an oversized 2-car garage all on a flat 0.18-acre lot. The attention to detail begins at the curb with HardiePlank siding, AZEK trim, cultured stone, tapered Arts & Crafts columns, hand-built wood brackets, a Brazilian cherry front porch, and brick-paver driveway and walkway. Step inside to a light-filled, open floor plan showcasing white oak flooring, plantation shutters, custom hardwood trim and moldings, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, and a striking gas fireplace with custom architectural mantel. Designed for entertaining, the gourmet kitchen centers around a generous granite island and features high-end stainless appliances, oversized subway tile, and a Bertazzoni 36" six-burner gas range with wok burner. A walk-in butler's pantry with custom hardwood shelving and barn-style door provides exceptional storage, while the spacious mudroom with built-in cubbies makes everyday living effortless. Just beyond, a screened porch creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or relaxing outdoors. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite feels like a private retreat with a vaulted ceiling, two generous walk-in closets with custom built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, double vanity, and oversized three-head shower. Three additional bedrooms and two additional full baths complete the sleeping quarters. Even the laundry room has been thoughtfully designed—a large, updated, light-filled space with higher ceilings, generous storage, and a utility sink, making everyday functionality feel anything but ordinary. The finished walk-out lower level adds another dimension to the home with a spacious recreation area, additional bedroom, full bath, flex/play space, abundant storage, and direct access to a shaded brick-paver patio. An additional outdoor firepit gathering area creates yet another inviting place to entertain, unwind, and enjoy evenings with family and friends. And then there is the location.
