Breathtaking panoramic views to the Boulder Reservoir, city lights, and sweeping plains from 1.26 private, nearly flat, fully fenced acres in coveted Pine Brook Hills. Just 6 minutes from Broadway, this luxury home is sure to impress. Vaulted ceilings with oak-wrapped beams, wide-plank white oak floors, panoramic door wall, designer gas fireplace, Thermador kitchen, spa-inspired primary bath, heated floors, walk-out lower level, radiant heat, solar, smart home features, and 175 amp service with generator circuit. Pergola deck with views that make summer entertaining memorable. The 995 sq ft detached garage is built for whatever you are passionate about: car lift, 16 ft ceilings, firehouse doors, compressed air, Intelagard fire suppression, gas heater, EV charging, perfect for the gym, the studio, or all of the above. Plus a 2-car attached garage with a second EV outlet. And the community delivers what most Boulder foothill neighborhoods cannot: meaningfully reduced wildfire risk with a reservoir feeding fire hydrants throughout, full natural gas with no propane, and roads maintained on a school bus route schedule. A property this complete, this close to Boulder, does not come along often.
