Property Description

Discover the rarest of combinations in Boulder: a private compound with an art studio and a detached guest house featuring panoramic views all just 5 miles from the Pearl Street Mall. Welcome to this Pine Brook Hills sanctuary where luxury meets inspiration. At the heart of this nearly 1-acre estate is a beautifully remodeled main residence, a sun-drenched haven filled with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and panoramic foothill vistas from every window. The open-concept design features a spacious great room, a modern chef's kitchen, and two generous living areas. The primary suite feels like a secluded treehouse escape and includes direct deck access. What truly elevates this property are two distinct bonus spaces: a sprawling 800sf studio with a private entrance-perfect for an artist, home gym, or expansive office - and a charming 500sf guest house above the garage, ideal for visitors, remote work, or a private retreat. Step outside to enjoy over 1,000sf of Trex decking, seamlessly connecting you to the serene landscape & remarkably flat, fenced yard space-a true mountain rarity. Enjoy ultimate peace of mind with a brand new Class 4 impact-resistant Owens Corning STORM roof, which includes a transferable warranty & may qualify for significant homeowner insurance discounts. This mountain lifestyle is made effortless with paved roads, natural gas, community water, a voluntary HOA, a neighborhood fire station, & reliable school bus service. With nearly 5,000sf of finished space under roof, this property delivers the perfect blend of creative freedom, privacy, and convenient access to town. For the artist, entrepreneur, or anyone seeking an inspired haven, your search ends here.
