21828 Briarcliff Drive

21828 Briarcliff Drive (MLS #9207432) is an exquisite contemporary home with a stucco exterior and metal roof sitting atop a hill on the Lake Travis waterfront.  This Spicewood, Texas lake retreat is currently listed for $1,450,000 and provides a variety of amenities for its new owner.

The clean lines, commanding details and extraordinary floor plan of this 3929 square foot home that was the design of architect, MJ Neal, attribute to the grand stature of this rare property on one of the deepest channels of Lake Travis.

With four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, an office, formal living and dining room, remarkable views can be had from almost anywhere in this home…even the hallways and the massive iron and wood staircase have a view of the lake!!! In fact, each room and outdoor living area has been strategically placed for the ultimate view of Lake Travis.

Unique details include Maplewood and travertine tile that cover the floors of 21828 Briarcliff Drive and several vaulted ceilings capped with tongue and groove wood.  Furthermore, many of the rooms have built-in desks, bookshelves and cabinetry to house a plethora of items.

Another highlight of the location of this lake property is that it sits on .955 of an acre due to how far the land reaches towards the lake and Briarcliff Marina is right around the corner.  However, a marina is not necessary for the owners of 21828 Briarcliff Drive since it has its own private boat dock with boat lift on the property.

Surprisingly, four fireplaces can be found in 21828 Briarcliff Drive!  One of them separates the formal living and dining room on the first floor.   These two rooms are open to each other, as well as the kitchen and are situated with a wall of windows overlooking an outdoor entertaining area complete with another fireplace, outdoor kitchen, infinity pool, hot tub and living space.  This home boasts approximately 2500 square feet of outdoor patio space.  It’s absolutely incredible and an entertainer’s dream!

The kitchen is perfect for the most professional gourmet and is impressively put together with its travertine tile, granite countertops, Thermador appliances, sub-zero refrigerator, and miles of counter space.  The extra-large island allows for more cabinetry, work space and seating, along with a comfortable spot to take in the Texas Hill Country views.

The third and fourth fireplaces can be found in the second-level master bedroom and bathroom, which again are both equipped with built-in cabinets for all of your clothes, personal items and necessities.  The bathroom has an enormous walk-in shower, a jetted tub and a gorgeous double vanity.

An office and another bedroom are located on the second level along with the master and each has fabulous views of the lake.  The office is fitted with its own desk and bookshelves that are the envy of any executive.  The work space is situated in front of windows for a picturesque outdoor scene.

Discover the two other bedrooms on the first level of 21828 Briarcliff Drive and find one of them having its own private entrance which lends well to those weekend guests during the summer season.

In addition to the homes many features, elementary school-aged children in this area are slated to attend the newest Lake Travis Elementary School #6 that is located in West Cypress Hills.  Moreover, the Lake Travis Middle School will be moving to its new campus behind the Rough Hollow subdivision.
