Property Description
A hidden gem awaits at the end of a quiet country lane abutting City of Boulder land. Set on nearly 3.5 acres and framed by sweeping panoramic views of the front range, this exceptional single-level home blends relaxed comfort with sophisticated modern design. From the moment you step inside, soaring ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows draw your eye outward. The environmental considerations of this home include German-engineered triple paned windows, geothermal heating and cooling, 10kW solar panels and an ERV/HRV ventilation system. These energy efficient strategies resulted in an average monthly energy expenditure of $17 in 2025, roughly $13 of which was natural gas for the stove. Reclaimed barnwood floors add warmth and character, setting the stage for this thoughtfully designed retreat. The open-concept floor plan offers both functionality and elegance, featuring a spacious home office just off the entry. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen impresses with top-of-the-line appliances, a gas range, prep sink, rich red birch cabinetry, and a striking stone island perfect for gathering. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with multiple spaces designed to take in the views. Dine al fresco on the patio as the sun sets over the mountains or entertain in the formal dining area with equally stunning vistas. The private primary suite offers a peaceful escape with its own patio, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired three-quarter bath. Two additional bedrooms each feature private patios, enhancing the home's connection to the outdoors. Designed for both convenience and lifestyle, the home includes a three-car garage leading into a spacious mudroom and laundry area complete with a dog washing station. The property also features a greenhouse with an equipment room - ideal for housing your outdoor essentials. With exceptional craftsmanship, modern elegance, and a tranquil natural setting, this is more than a home-it's a retreat.
