Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Boulder Reservoir, city lights, and sweeping plains, from 1.26 private, fully fenced acres in coveted Pine Brook Hills! Just 6 minutes from downtown Boulder & Broadway, this luxury home is sure to impress. Completely remodeled in 2021 with high quality finishes by its previous owner/builder, who designed it as his own personal residence. This home reflects a level of craftsmanship rarely found on the market today. Vaulted beamed ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors set the tone inside, including a wall of windows that fully slide open to bring the outdoors in & extends the living space onto the pergola deck. A designer gas fireplace anchors the living area, while the Thermador kitchen and spa-inspired primary bath with heated floors, bring the same level of detail to daily life. A walk-out lower level, whole-home radiant heat, solar, smart home features, and 175 amp service with a generator circuit, round out a home built for comfort and resilience. A bonus 995 sq ft detached garage is built for whatever you are passionate about. It includes a car lift, 16 ft ceilings, firehouse doors, compressed air, Intelagard fire suppression system, gas heater & EV charging. Could be a perfect gym, party room, studio, or all of the above. PLUS there is a 2-car attached garage with a second EV outlet. Surrounded by towering pines, this stunning setting offers a genuine sense of being tucked into nature, while still minutes from Boulder. Enjoy starry nights, crisp mountain air, and the kind of quiet that's increasingly hard to find. A property this complete does not come along often, and could also be a perfect second home or mountain retreat.
