"The Castle House" — A Private Hilltop Retreat in Brookville, PA. THE SETTING: COUNTRY PRIVACY, TOWN CONVENIENCE. A private 150-foot driveway climbs a green, grassy hillside to the summit, where you'll find a one-of-a-kind multi-level Tudor home. Sitting on 1.38 acres within Brookville borough limits, you enjoy full town services while feeling like you are in a woodland retreat. The rear of the property is backed by over 10 acres of undeveloped, borough-owned forest and open space. With no rear neighbors and no development risk, you have permanent green-space views and frequent wildlife visits right outside your back door. THE INTERIOR: MODERN COMFORT & ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL: Inside, just under 4,200 sq. ft. of total living space has been meticulously maintained. Approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of recently installed luxury wood-plank flooring sets a modern tone across the main levels.

The Kitchen: Fully modernized and converted to gas, featuring a high-end stovetop and oven (2023). The Master Suite: Completely transformed via a gut-remodel.
