Luxury Lock & Leave in North Boulder

$830,000  |  May 2015

Set in a friendly North Boulder neighborhood, convenient to shops, restaurants, parks and schools, this recently constructed Craftsman Style home offers an open layout, luxury finishes, a convenient “lock & leave” lifestyle, and magnificent views.

Built in 2011, employing energy-efficient systems and green features, this handsome stucco and wood home set in the Northfield Commons neighborhood, boasts a comfortable and flowing open floor plan. The large gourmet kitchen is the central focus of the main floor, flanked by dining area, living room, family room and outdoor patio. The kitchen connects to the attached 2-car garage via butler’s pantry and mudroom space.  A main floor bedroom (currently used as an office) with adjoining bath completes this terrific layout.

The kitchen boasts lots of natural maple wood cabinets with plenty of storage, high-end appliances and a great use of open shelves in a nook that adds a nice creative touch. The expansive central island offers eat in dining and serves as the main gathering spot in the home. The lighting choice of white frosted glass, for both the pendants above the island and dining room chandelier, are simple and tasteful. The dark toned granite on the island and countertops is inviting and understated.

The front living room is at once cozy and light-filled, with windows to the south and west, showcasing a gas fireplace to warm the surroundings. The well-appointed family room, dining room and patio offer additional spaces for lounging and gathering. These spaces are all distinct, yet open to each other, creating optimal layout and flow. And the main floor bedroom/office and bath are set off the main living areas via a hallway, making this space feel more private.

The well-crafted staircase to the second floor feels open and lofty, with nicely placed east facing windows under the roofline. The three upstairs bedrooms continue the theme of open loftiness, with a large master suite offering magnificent views of the Flatirons, both from the windows, and the large, adjoining southwest facing deck. The other two bedrooms are both well-proportioned and light-filled, with thoughtful window placement.

The master bath provides luxury features including a soaking tub and shower, all clad in soothing neutral tones. The master closet is spacious and bathed in natural light, via a large window. The two other bedrooms have ample closet space and share a full bath, designed with tasteful neutral tones. A conveniently located, good-sized laundry room on this upper level continues the theme of thoughtful design and layout.

And the bonus: an unfinished basement awaiting your finishing touches. This space was pre-planned with egress windows for two additional bedrooms and roughed-in for an additional bath.

This property offers a great value in a terrific part of Boulder that is becoming ever more coveted and popular. A relatively new development, many residents in Northfield Commons, and the neighboring Northfield Village come seeking the tasteful contemporary architecture and convenience this location offers. With easy access to all that Boulder offers, including the Boulder Reservoir and miles of open space and trails, this is a peaceful, vibrant neighborhood that offers a sense of community and will likely follow in the footsteps of Dakota Ridge: its residents don’t leave – they just choose another property within the neighborhood when it’s time to move!
