“It’s just another new build.†“New homes lack warmth.†“They feel sterile.†“The builder didn’t even think about the floor plan.†These are all things you won’t hear about this home. Standing out from the crowd while blending seamlessly into the traditions of Brookside is no easy task—yet 1009 E 38th St passes with flying colors. From concept to completion, every detail was designed with the homeowner in mind. The kitchen was created for living: entertain friends over cocktails, host mahjong night, or simply unwind with your family after a long day. Smart storage keeps appliances tucked away so counters remain clear and inviting, and the space flows into a sunlit living room where a wall of windows frames the spacious yard and covered patio. The primary suite is luxury personified, with a spa-inspired bath that offers the perfect retreat—mornings begin with calm and evenings end in renewal. The first floor also features a spacious en suite bedroom for guests or little ones and a paneled study that provides a quiet place to focus. Upstairs, the focus shifts from work to play with generous bedrooms—each with private baths and walk-in closets—surrounding an enormous game room perfect for toys, movie nights, or watching the big game. Beyond the beauty of the home itself, location completes the package. Step outside and you’re within walking distance to Brookside’s dining, shopping, and nightlife, or a short stroll to The Gathering Place for weekend fun. Planning to cook at home but forgot an ingredient? Not to worry—Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and other midtown favorites are minutes away. With its three-car garage, timeless design, and thoughtful layout, this home proves that a new build can be both practical and full of character, offering not just a house but a lifestyle.
