Brookledge – A Timeless Country Manor. Every so often, a property comes along that makes you pause. Brookledge is that rare find—an extraordinary Country Manor built in 1923, rich with history, elegance, and craftsmanship nearly impossible to replicate today. Picture century-old trees echoing with memories: sunlit summer days, fireflies dancing in twilight, poolside laughter, joyful celebrations, and holidays that turn into lifelong stories. For decades, Brookledge has been the backdrop to moments that matter—and now, it's ready for its next chapter. Tucked at the edge of East Aurora’s historic village, Brookledge offers privacy with ideal access. Just minutes from Route 400, you’re conveniently connected to Buffalo, the airport, ski resorts, and Niagara Falls. East Aurora itself is more than a location—it’s a lifestyle. This beloved village blends small-town charm with cultural richness, from boutiques and cafés to galleries, breweries, chocolate shops, and historic landmarks like Knox Farm and the Millard Fillmore House. A hub of the Arts & Crafts movement, it offers a vibrant blend of heritage and modern living. As you arrive at Brookledge, a 7,800-square-foot manor reveals itself across nearly nine acres of manicured grounds, towering evergreens, stone patios, and the serene whisper of Tannery Brook. Inside, the home features hand-carved black walnut woodwork, six fireplaces, stained and antique German glass, marble floors, arched doorways, and detailed craftsmanship throughout. The grand living room stuns with oak beams, a carved fireplace, and a marble floored sunroom with panoramic brook views. A refined dining room glows with leaded glass and a marble fireplace. The kitchen is both functional and elegant, with granite countertops, Sub-Zero appliances, a center island, pantry, and sunny breakfast nook. The primary suite is a true retreat with a double-sided fireplace, sitting room, spa-like bath, and Juliet balcony. A cozy library, family rooms, billiard room, kitchenette, and walkout lower level offer room to live, gather, and grow. A separate three-bedroom guest house, in-ground pool, and sport court complete this remarkable estate.
