Home Description:
The Brooklyn has an interesting combination of natural materials with a slate & bronze color palette. A soothing mixture of Marbella and Coffee Rock thin stone covers the façade, as well as cement board siding in a complimentary hue of slate tile. The canted 3-car garage features bronze long panel doors with double arch windows and carriage-style accents. A meandering roofline ties everything together with dimensional shingles and a few accents of metal roofing.

A welcoming foyer draws you inside this stunning 4,264 sq. ft. home, where you’ll find 10 ft. ceilings and an open layout. The formal dining room, located near the front of the home, can easily be customized to use as a home office. The great room’s focal wall features an impressive stone fireplace and built-in Cherry cabinets. The unique coffered ceiling with wood crown moulding is simply stunning. The kitchen is tastefully appointed with Dura Supreme Cherry cabinets, in a warm poppy seed color, around the perimeter. An over-sized, Maple island with seating is located in the center. A convenient serving station, walk-in pantry, Quartz countertops, and stainless appliances round out the selections in this gorgeous space. Matisse Hickory engineered hardwood floors flow into the dinette. In the cozy hearth room, a second floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with Cherry mantel and corbels is the focal point. Beyond this main living area is a room that does double duty as a craft/laundry room, with double pocket doors, a large work surface, and a desk space with storage. The mudroom and lavatory are also tucked in here, near the garage entrance. Around a quiet corner, you’ll find the comfortable master suite. Carefully placed windows allow for maximum light and privacy. There are also two walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom with a large walk-in shower, double sinks, floating Maple cabinets with a bank of drawers, a linen closet with built-in storage, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets flank a shared Jack & Jill bath on the opposite side of the main floor.

The Brooklyn also features an incredible finished lower level that includes a large rec room, front-and-back wet bar with Dura Supreme Cherry cabinets and textured foil-finished shelves, a large pantry, game room, and a fourth bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath. Another helpful feature are the stairs leading from the garage to the unfinished portion of the lower level.

People’s Choice Nomination for Best Room: Great Room

The heart of the home is where your family gathers, and in the Brooklyn, that place will likely be the great room. This unique space perfectly anchors the warm, cozy hearth room, kitchen and dinette in the main living area, and is the ideal place to create memories with family and friends. The unique coffered ceiling with wood crown moulding highlights the fireplace, which features natural stone extending upward toward a Cherry, wrap-around mantel. Poppy seed colored Cherry cabinets are built-in to both walls surrounding the fireplace. This spacious room is further enhanced by several oversized windows, which allow for natural daytime lighting, and overlook the back yard.

Dave Pluim & John Stoker - Co-Owners, Victory Homes of Wisconsin

About the Builder:
Fourteen years ago the founders of Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc. set out to make a positive impact on southeastern Wisconsin’s home building industry. They focused on developing strong relationships with their suppliers and tradesmen, and creating plans that would appeal to the most discriminating buyers. Along the way, they built a solid reputation for great customer service and homes built to the highest standard. Today, Victory Homes is one of the most recognized and preferred Milwaukee-area homebuilders.

“We spend a lot of one-on-one time with our customers. John (Stoker) and I are personally involved in every build. When I sit down with customers to learn about their wish list. I spend time getting to know them before I start any drawings,” says David Pluim, co-owner of Victory Homes. “It helps me to add their personality into their home.” In fact, each member of the Victory team spends time working with new homeowners, carefully selecting the right plan and the right amenities — working together to create a home that is a true reflection of each family’s vision. And when their home is finished, Victory homeowners can rest easy knowing that their home is built with superior materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and the highest quality features.
