Show your home: Gallatin home offers open space to entertain

It would be easier to make a list of what the home at 259 Flynn Road in Gallatin doesn't offer than what it does – it has all the bases covered with no detail forgotten. Situated on 8-plus acres, the 6,438-square-foot home was designed by homeowners Brian and Lois Burnett, with the help of architect Jonathan Frank, and built in 2022. Though incredibly private, it’s only moments from shopping and other amenities.

“The home is designed for how people live today – it has an open floor plan, 21-foot ceilings and lots of space for entertaining and living,” says Richard F. Bryan of Friedrich & Clark Realty, who has the home listed for $3,995,000.

The gated driveway passes by the property’s fully stocked pond on the way to the front of the home, which, itself, features a grand front and entrance. Asymmetrical concrete steps lead to the extra wide glass front door, offering picturesque views from the patio of a wooded area featuring aspen trees. The doorway is protected by a modern-looking wooden portico and flanked by dual patio spaces that the owners have used for sectional seating and matching cast concrete fire bowls. The outside façade of the home features corrugated steel and wood, with a covered breezeway connecting the main home and the semi-detached 8-car garage.

One of the home’s perks is that it was built with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. The average monthly utility bill is between $200-250 year round, and the water bill is typically $50 per month.

The foyer opens to a massive combined living, dining and kitchen space with polished concrete floors throughout. Three sets of windows on both walls allow abundant natural light to fill the space. Immediately to the left, an office space with glass doors allows working from home to be private and apart from the main house while being in the center of it all. In the office, entertaining is reimagined with a ladder leading to a unique loft that features striking banquette seating the length of one wall and a marble wet bar with a Haier wine fridge. On the right, a small seating area breaks up the space in front of a floor-to-ceiling wine room. The wine room features sliding glass doors and two Newair dual-temperature-controlled refrigerators.
