The best listing in my neighborhood: 4990 E Cliff Point

4990 E Cliff Point Circle has returned to market. This show-stopping home has been COMPLETELY Remodeled and sits on a choice lot in the Pinecliff Community.

While neighborhoods like Pine Creek and Peregrine often get the attention of buyers looking for D20 custom homes, this house offers a superior product at a better price in a neighborhood arguably more stable in value and convenient in location that either Pine Creek or Peregrine.

Pinecliff is the most southerly neighborhood in Academy District 20. That means it is the closest to downtown Colorado Springs and yet has the award-winning schools known throughout the region (and by officers in the United States Air Force around the world it seems!) like Rockrimmon Elementary, Eagleview Middle School and Air Academy High School.

Pinecliff also has a wide variety of prices. There are condos and townhomes on the south rim that are in the $150,000's, there are single family listings in the $300,000's and $400,000's, and there are high-end listings right up against Ute Valley Park in the $600,000's, with newer, one-of-a-kind homes on Cordillera that have never seen the market worth significantly more than that. And all of this is 11 minutes from downtown.

A short walk from the home is Ute Valley Park, one of the jewels in the crown of Colorado Springs Park System. The almost 8 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails offer wilderness-like experiences with a suburban access. Just to the south and west is world-famous Garden of the Gods. More trails, more hiking, more biking, an outstanding road bike circuit, horseback riding, and of course, beginner to technical rock-climbing. Only fifteen minutes away is Blodgett Peak Open Space, 167 acres ringed by Pike National Forest and the United States Air Force Academy. And on the east side of the neighborhood is the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail which connects downtown with Palmer Lake. Connecting to the trail is safe from the home, even if you're towing a bike trailer. This is why the west-side is such a magnet for recreation buffs who live, work and play in Colorado Springs (Outside Magazine's Number One City to Live in 2009).

Nearby is the up and coming dining corridor of Garden of the Gods. Less than one mile away is Marigolds, Ai Sushi, Great Harvest Bread Company and Trinity Brewing. Jun's Sushi Bar is less than five minutes south. Three grocery stores are less than a five minute drive and downtown is exactly 12 minutes away (Bijou Exit 141 off of I-25).

Pinecliff is truly one of the finest communities in Colorado Springs. And ownership of a 5400 square foot home with:

• Home Theatre by Connected Technologies
• Dacor, Hickory and Granite Slab Kitchen
• Dining Room for 10
• Remodeled Master Bedroom with Glass-Bowl sinks, Shower for two, soaking tub and heated tile flooring
• Smart House Wiring
• Main Level Guest Suite with Custom 3/4 attached bath
• Dining Room for 10
• Great Room Living Room
• Stucco Exterior, Tile Roof

For a price under $500,000... it's hard enough to find a house this loaded on a lot in Falcon for this price, but with this location, it is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity, the best Pinecliff has to offer.

It looks like it's a beautiful place. I'll ask my family for consultation.
