Résidence Unifamiliale à Boulder

This Mediterranean-villa-inspired property is the kind of home where the good life just seems to grow and grow-much like the 60-year-old Italian grapevines that flourish here, surrounded by beauty on nearly an acre of peaceful, private land in an exclusive enclave with Flatirons views. Each time you return to your circular drive, feel yourself swept away by the breathtaking architecture: tiled rooflines, classic stucco, and pretty pergolas-all backing to quiet greenbelt. Inspired by the owners’ two decades in Europe, this home’s elegance is unmatched: from the 22-foot ceilings, arching windows and a two-story grand fireplace in the great room to the spectacular kitchen where painted French tiles form a scene of the Proven al countryside beneath a showstopping carved-wood hood. Imagine the unforgettable get-togethers you can host with three ovens, built-in Gaggenau steamer, a dedicated baking station, a warming drawer and Viking appliances. Gather in the spectacular dining room or fling open the 8-foot French doors to the back courtyard that’s like something out of Eden with trailing vines, fruit trees, and fragrant evergreens. When downtime is in order, your private primary wing awaits-a sprawling bedroom, luxury bath, and a sunroom anchored by a ficus tree that grows organically into the space! The opposite wing is just as welcoming, with a cozy living room, beautiful secondary bedrooms and baths, and access to a one-bedroom apartment in the walkout basement, ready to rent or convert back to guest quarters or an artist studio with the single turn of a lock. Enjoy incredible energy efficiency thanks to a new HVAC and thermal subflooring that saves hundreds on heating, plus private well- and city-sourced water, a five-bedroom septic system, and prewiring for security and whole-home audio. Consider this your effortless European escape, moments from Boulder, Louisville and Lafayette, with proximity to trails and an utterly serene rural location with views.
