About This Home
A rare opportunity to have the best of two worlds! Welcome to 148 Bromley Dr, known as the J. McCormick Farmhouse. Live in a historic 1800’s farmhouse that has been renovated through the years to meet today’s standards while enjoying the benefits of neighborhood living in the established community of Breckenridge. Situated in the rear of the community, on a lovely 2/3 acre lot and at the end of the cul-de-sac. The original structure was built around 1810 by the Pierce family then sold about 10 years later to John Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell was one of the first property “flippers”. He is known for purchasing homes in the Mill Creek area, improving them, then selling for a profit or leasing to tenants. In this case, the property was kept in the Mitchell family for over 120 years. The farmhouse was saved from demolishment and restored in the early 1990’s. Preservation of the original features of the home was paramount and you can still find the molded mantels of three fireplaces, splayed and paneled window reveals, numerous built-ins, and molded four panel doors. Curb appeal can’t be beat with a wide and sprawling front porch welcoming you into the stuccoed, masonry two story home. Additions to the home in 1830 (back wing) and 2000 (rear porch, garage and shop) enhanced the livability of the home as time passed. The main floor is host to a comfortable living room with adjacent parlor or family room, large dining room perfect for everyday use or formal occasions, a well equipped eat-in kitchen, mudroom and powder room. Upstairs you will find a primary owners suite with fireplace, built-in window seats, walk-in closet, and full bathroom with oversized shower featured two rain heads. Second floor is complete with two additional bedrooms and full hall bath with jetted tub. Finished attic space is flexible space that works well as a bedroom, office or craft room. Huge storage area for closet space or seasonal needs. Workshop adjacent to the two car garage with electric, heat/air and water. Above the garage is unfinished loft space that can be easily finished for additional living area. The property features beautiful gardens that give color and interest all season long with an emphasis on native plants. Also installed in 2024, you'll find raised bed gardens with drip irrigation. Imagine a perfect ending to a summer’s day of sitting on your front porch swing watching the fireflies dance in the gardens while winding down after at day at nearby Westminster community pool. Additional improvements include new roof, carpet and garage doors (2020), repainted exterior (2025), all new windows throughout (2023),built in bookcases (2022),new water heater (2019), west facing roof new in 2014, 2 air conditioning units installed (2011), new mini split in the workshop (2024), and updates to kitchen including new refrigerator (2022),microwave (2020), dishwasher (2015),oven (2015) as well as new washer/dryer (2022).
