But what really sets it apart is the backyard,” Dunkenberger said. “The owners transformed it into an incredible entertaining and recreational space that truly enhances an already beautiful home and creates one of the best outdoor living environments in the area.” Built in 2023 on a 75-by-156-foot lot, 116 Brockenbraugh features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and 5,646 square feet of living space.

Custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a walk-in pantry, built-in bar, and Thermador appliances – including a 92-bottle wine refrigerator – complete the chef’s kitchen.
