Description

Located on a large private lot in the Tanglewood area, 5638 Briar Drive offers an outstanding opportunity to remodel at this price per square foot. The home is designed to take advantage of views of the back yard, with its fountains, bridges, and gazebos. Inside, high ceilings create an open feeling and walls of tall French doors and windows overlook the outdoors. The floor plan features a large living room with a fireplace, the paneled library with a second fireplace, and a long gallery that opens to the dining room and kitchen, which opens to the family room. The primary bedroom is located on the first floor, and has two separate bathrooms. The second floor features a large game room with full bath, plus two guest bedrooms with a connecting bath. The total square footage includes the guest apartment over the garage, which has an additional full bath and kitchen. There is a recent roof in 2024, plus a/c updates, and storage is abundant with 14 walk-in closets. Truly an oasis!
