Home Details
Located on a private cul-de-sac street in the heart of Tanglewood, 5638 Briar Drive offers a secluded ravine setting on a heavily wooded lot. The home is designed with views in mind, to take advantage of the enchanted garden with its fountains, bridges, and gazebos. Inside, high ceilings create an open feeling and walls of tall French windows and doors overlook the outdoors. The floor plan features a large living room with a fireplace, the paneled library with a fireplace, and a long gallery that opens to the dining room, kitchen, and family room. The primary bedroom is located on the first floor, and has two separate bathrooms. First floor quarters have a full bath and a side entrance is nearby. The second floor features a large game room with full bath, plus two guest bedrooms with a connecting bath. Above the garage is a guest apartment with full bath and kitchen. Recent roof in 2024 plus a/c updates, and storage is abundant with 12 walk-in closets. Truly an oasis!
