Description

In a tranquil neighborhood nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, there stands a charming 5 bedroom ranch-style home with a full basement complete with rec room. This picturesque dwelling occupies a spacious 1/3-acre lot, where it shares its boundary with the untouched beauty of private open space, creating a serene backdrop that is truly a rare find. This roomy home has recently undergone renovations including a completely new roof with Class 4 impact resistant shingles, brand new carpeting throughout, fresh paint, light fixtures and updated accessories, a new oven/stove, and a brand new septic system is in the works. Another standout feature is the Sun Room looking out over the open space. A handy storage shed sits in the backyard for all your gardening tools and equipment. Speaking of gardening, a fenced garden area provides an ideal spot to grow your favorite vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Mature landscaping, adorned with leafy trees, offers an oasis of tranquility, as well as apple trees. The peaceful ambiance of this ranch-style home in the cul-de-sac is a true haven for its lucky inhabitants. The addition of a brand new septic system to this charming home will be a significant development that promises to enhance the property's value, functionality and sustainability.

    "I have lived in North Boulder for 30 years- Wonderland Hills and Dakota Ridge, it has always felt safe here. My children attended Boulder Public Schools, I give the schools an A+! We live a convenient short distance to restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and shopping, ...friends hang out at our house and tell me I’m a great baker of Chocolate Chip Cookies! I love to send them home with cookies or fresh dough to bake cookies with their own families! You should bring your kids to our house on Halloween, what a treat! I walk to Pearl Street by way of Foothills Trail, through beautiful neighborhoods apple orchards, Mt. Sanitas and am fascinated by the rock formations. I bicycle many days a week and many miles, such a perfect location to start from and end up! It’s a family and friends tradition to do the Bolder Boulder on the Monday of Memorial Day weekend, so fun! I have been taking it easy for a while due to some physical injuries, but continue to build up my strength and stamina walking my dog, climbing and hiking - I get a great workout! Here’s a tidbit!
