Wonderland Lakes – Foothills Park
$538,000 | May 2014
Nestled at the top of Union Street in the coveted neighborhood between Wonderland Lake and Foothills Park, surrounded by miles of walking/biking trails and open space, is a unique community of cottage duplexes. The property at 592 Union is the easternmost end unit and boasts a warm south-facing light in an open and very livable plan with 3B/3B, a 2 car garage, fenced yard and front patio.
Upon arriving at the property, one is greeted by the amazing craftsmanship of the hand-wrought front railing with crystal inserts. It is clearly a labor of love and a fine work of art that adds a magical touch to this inspired and welcoming home.
The main living area is open and light-filled with a cozy living room and working wood-burning fireplace, dining area and kitchen with white cabinets and appliances, including a new Fisher Paykel double drawer dishwasher and Kitchen Aid refrigerator. The stone tile countertop extends to the dining area with a convenient breakfast bar. Off the front door is a mudroom with closet and lovely powder room.
Sliding doors lead out to a hand crafted wood deck. A small, fenced yard in the back and flagstone patio in the front offer low maintenance living with a sense of space and privacy in a lock & leave setting with no HOA dues. And for those with little ones, a sand box area under the deck provides a safe place for play.
Upstairs are 3 light-filled bedrooms, with two tastefully remodeled stone clad baths, one shared between two bedrooms and the other adjoining the master bedroom, which also boasts a cedar-lined closet. The light and spacious lower level is partially finished with insulated walls, electrical lights and outlets and two large egress windows. There is a rough-in for a 4th bathroom and room for two bedrooms or one bedroom and open area, perfect for family rec room, office or play room. The laundry room, with front-loading Samsung washer and dryer and mechanical room are also on this level. Just bring your vision and some drywall! And if one requires more space, the Sellers have plans for an expansion over the spacious 2-car garage!
The home is very energy efficient with a state-of-the-art Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) System that pre-heats and filters the air in the home. The added insulation in the attic measured R-60 and R-20 on the northern wall between the home and the garage. The windows and glass doors have all been replaced and are Energy Star rated, including the storm door at the front.
If you are looking for a property in Boulder that offers immediate access to open space with the convenience of being close to parks, playgrounds and nearby shopping (or a quick bus ride or bike ride downtown) in a warm, inviting, light-filled, energy-efficient, low-maintenance setting, we welcome you home.
