Completely Remodeled North Boulder Home
$1,652,400 | May 2018
This completely remodeled and thoughtfully finished North Boulder home is located in the coveted Ideal Market neighborhood, across from the Hawthorn Community Gardens. The tasteful, timeless finishes of the home combine beautifully with the soaring ceilings, a functional layout, and an excellent yard to create a North Boulder home that checks all the boxes.
Entering the home, a light filled office is located on the right. With a spacious closet and an attached bathroom, this office can also serve as the fourth bedroom. The attached bathroom features an oversized vanity, brass sconces, and a beautiful glass enclosed shower with textured Ann Sacks handmade tile. A few steps beyond the bathroom, the house opens to a stunning great room and kitchen area. The 4 inch, natural matte finish oak floors can be found throughout the home and offer a glimpse into the quality and thought that went into this complete remodel.
To the right of the great room is the kitchen, with vaulted ceilings, beautiful finishes, and generous work space. The kitchen features custom white cabinetry that is topped with Caesarstone counters, a tall wall that encases the Thermador touch-to-open refrigerator and freezer, and spacious pantry storage. Anchoring the kitchen is a rustic, handmade center island built locally by Shutze Studios. The farm table inspired island is pre-wired for electrical outlets. The 6 burner Thermador range looks out to the east to the oversized, landscaped yard. The light grey handmade Ann Sacks tile backsplash offers beautiful texture and a timeless finish to the kitchen, and a conveniently located “appliance garage” offers a great way to keep appliances out of sight.
The great room features a soaring vaulted ceiling, an excellent heat-producing wood burning stove, and glass french doors that lead out to the patio and yard. The flexible layout allows for two seating areas, as well as a very nice dining area, complete with a stylish chandelier. Rounding out the main floor and accessed through a pocket door is the mudroom, with custom built-ins and thoughtful storage. Through the mudroom is the rare and coveted attached two car garage.
Upstairs and immediately to the right is the beautiful owner’s suite. The bedroom offers plenty of space for a king size bed, and great wall space for art and furniture. Windows to the west give a glimpse of the foothills. The owner’s bathroom features a walnut double vanity, topped with Caesarstone counters, along with an oversized shower featuring opposing shower heads, and a beautiful Victoria & Albert soaking tub that is tucked under a skylight. The finishes in the bathroom are classic and tasteful, with a grey tile on the floor and a timeless white subway tile in the shower. The owner’s suite also features a large walk in closet with excellent storage.
Two generously sized kids bedrooms feature views to the west and south, and have great closet space. The kids bathroom, again clean and timeless, features a double vanity, comfortable penny tiles on the floor, and a seperate room with toilet and combination bathtub and shower. The laundry room is conveniently located at the end of the hall on the second floor. The recent remodel was “down to the studs”, creating a virtually new home.
The landscaped yard features a grassy front yard with a classic oak shade tree and nostalgic tree swing. The fenced and fully enclosed back yard features mature trees and bushes, a large grassy area with plenty of place to play, and a concrete patio that is perfect for lounging or dining al fresco.
The neighborhood and location cannot be overstated. Directly to the west are the community gardens, which offer shared plotting for gardening, as well as a herd of goats, and paths for walking or biking. A few blocks to the south is the Ideal Market shopping center, with excellent coffee shops and dining, including the restaurant Santo, and the Boulder Wine Merchant. And just around the corner is Salberg park, the neighborhood community gathering spot with climbing structures, sport courts, and a large grassy area.
