Description

Gorgeous, unique, close-in Boulder mountain home -- elegant simplicity only 3 miles west from Pearl St Mall, along dedicated bike/walk path along Boulder Creek or separate open space trail from Settler's Park/Red Rocks. Incredibly SUNNY south facing home with SPECTACULAR views of protected open space mountains from living and dining rooms as well as bedrooms. Set on sloped 1 acre lot with evergreens & rock outcroppings, perched above Boulder Canyon. Enjoy the peace, quiet, and space of the mountains while being literally just 5 minutes from downtown Boulder -- live in the mountains yet bike or walk to Alfalfa's, Dushanbe, Farmers market, CU, etc. Best of both worlds, mountain and city! Swim/tube in the creek off your property during the summer, ski/snowshoe off your property during the winter. Beautiful 4Bd/2Ba home with 400sqft south-facing deck w/hot tub, PLUS completely separate 3-room 600sqft Studio/In-Law with 3/4 Bath and kitchenette. First and only neighborhood immediately west of the city's open space. Elegant yet simple unique design with lots of character -- large windows, skylights, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, wood ceilings and woodwork throughout. Owned and loved by Boulder legends. Yes!

    "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!
