A tri-level home with southern exposure featuring six-panel wooden doors, modern LED lighting, central heating/AC and recently-painted. Brookwood Estates is a quiet, limited-access neighborhood zoned for 1/3 to ½ acre wooded lots; this home is on .53 acres. Just ½ mile off Academy South of Woodmen Rd, it's only ¾ mile to King Sooper's. One enters through the front door on the southern face of the house to a tile-floored entry area, proceeding to a hardwood foyer with coat closet. The hardwood floor continues through the 12 X 14 kitchen. The kitchen is surrounded by solid oak cabinetry with ceramic tiled working surfaces plus a granite-topped peninsula. The kitchen opens to a large deck via a Pella sliding door. The kitchen is partially open to the dining area. From the kitchen, one may see the dining area and about 2/3 the living room. The new granite-topped peninsula contains a 6-doored oak cabinet - 3 doors per face w/ 3 drawers. A "Solar Tube" skylight w/LED illumination was added to brighten the kitchen when the new 30-year roof was installed in 2015. From the foyer, one may also turn left into the contiguous living room and dinning area. These measure 14 X 20 and 13 X 13, respectively.

The 580 sq.ft deck was installed in 2018 and is custom crafted from high-end, 30-year composite material, which surrounds the North and West sides of the home. About ¼ of this deck is covered by extension of the roof and is safely enclosed by a dark brown anodized aluminum railing. Four steps down from the deck is the ~1/3 acre back yard, of which about half is a low-water grass lawn with a new sprinkler system. A Buckeye and Cottonwood shade the deck area. The rear half of the yard is home to a ~40 foot Ponderosa pine and numerous other trees both young and mature. The back yard is fully enclosed by a 6-foot tall cedar fence professionally installed between 2013 -'14. The home itself serves as the front perimeter. This fence is constructed with both steel and pressure-treated wooden fenceposts set in concrete footings. The fence incorporates a large gate between the front and back yards to accommodate truck passage into the back yard for tree-trimming. R49 fiberglass insulation was just added to the full attic, along with a thermostat-controlled, high-efficiency attic fan.
