Wake up to unobstructed views of the Flatirons and Colorado's iconic foothills from nearly every window of this extraordinary 5-bedroom estate. Set on 2 acres across from protected open space, this rare property offers breathtaking scenery, exceptional privacy, and an unbeatable location just minutes from downtown Boulder and within walking distance of the Boulder Reservoir. A circular cobblestone driveway welcomes you to a home that feels warm and inviting from the moment you step inside. Thoughtfully updated over the years, every space reflects care, character, and craftsmanship. The custom kitchen features marble sourced from Italy and Vermont, marble flooring, and a statement island framed in rustic decommissioned ship wood. The show-stopping entry and foyer showcase river rock tile and reclaimed barn wood beams, setting the tone for the home's natural elegance. The cozy living room is lined with windows framing stunning mountain sunsets. Additional highlights include a main-level office with built-ins, a dining room with a wood-burning fireplace framed in river rock and a log beam mantel, and a studio/workshop with a private entrance. The basement is ideal for entertaining, perfect for game nights or gatherings. Outdoors, the backyard is designed for enjoyment with mature landscaping, vibrant seasonal color, and a tranquil pond and water feature. The property is ready for horses, livestock, or chickens, with existing shelters, fencing, and heated water lines. This rare location offers the perfect balance of nature, privacy, and convenience-peaceful and tucked away, yet close to everything that defines Boulder living.
