Welcome to your private, tree-top sanctuary nestled in the heart of South Boulder's foothills. This 4 Bed, 2 Bath home features unrivaled Flatiron views in the coveted Shanahan Ridge neighborhood. The vaulted ceilings and two story windows fill this house with substantial, natural light. The top floor features two separate decks, the primary bedroom deck faces the mountains, the back deck is secluded with summer foliage from the surrounding, mature trees. An open great room with vaulted ceiling and cedar wainscoting sits on the main level, connecting the floors above and below. The ground floor features walk out exits, from two different sides of the house. A large family room provides built-in shelving and walkout access to the yard. The back yard is a gardener's paradise having been lovingly cultivated with Colorado's climate in mind (no grass to mow.) The HOA maintained Open Space backs to the oasis of the back yard, creating more privacy. There is an Arts and Crafts feel to the home from the huge windows, the natural setting, cedar planked great room, and dramatic, red stone hearth.
Newer, stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Retractable awnings keep summers cool. Roof was replaced 3 years ago, new carpet, PV/solar heating (panels jointly owned (not leased) by Seller and Xcel). A whole house fan and an evaporative cooler keep the home surprising cool during the hot summer months. Special insulated shutters between the window panes keep winter heat and summer cold out. Innumerable eco-friendly upgrades can bring this home close to net zero energy bills. Charming pellet stove adds to more energy efficient savings in the colder months.
The HOA owns and maintains the open space. Easy access to Boulder's trails for recreation and minutes from Highway 36 and Foothills Parkway. Buyers to verify all measurements (see Private Remarks).
