REDUCED $20,000!!! Welcome to Briarcliffe, a custom home subdivision of 28 properties in the award winning Centennial School District. As you walk along the curved, brick sidewalk to the main entryway, you'll arrive at a large covered porch, perfectly sized to greet and protect your guests from the elements. Designed to accommodate two, large comfy chairs, imagine how relaxed you'll feel lounging there while sipping early morning drinks or enjoying a cool, evening breeze. As you pass through the double entry doors, you'll enter a grand foyer that leads you straight to a large two-story living room. Your attention is immediately torn between the view into your private, professionally landscaped yard and the breathtaking, double-sided, two-story, stone fireplace (gas/heatilator). From the living room, the flow continues to the right into a spacious family room that opens to a large eat-in kitchen with a center island, then onto the formal dining room (vaulted ceiling). The living room, family room, kitchen and first floor master bedroom suite are showered with sunshine via sliding door access to the wrap around deck.
