Perched on 1.1 acres in Boulder's desirable Highland Park neighborhood, this 5-bed, 3-bath contemporary four-level Craftsman offers stunning views of the Flatirons, twinkling city lights, and surrounding foothills from every level. Environmentally conscious and energy-efficient, the 4,641 sq ft home was remodeled in 2004 with a thoughtfully designed upper-level addition. The main level features a gourmet kitchen with Brazilian Red Dragon quartz countertops, cherry cabinetry, a Dacor 6-burner cooktop and wall oven, two Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, and a built-in KitchenAid fridge. A spacious dining area opens to a view-filled balcony perfect for outdoor meals. This level also includes two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room. Just above, the sunlit living room showcases city views through oversized windows, rich wood flooring, a wood-burning marble fireplace, and access to another private balcony. The primary suite occupies its own level and offers natural light, cherry built-ins, wood floors, a private balcony, and breathtaking views. The ensuite bath features travertine tile, a jetted tub, glass shower, double sinks, and a bay window with city and foothill views. At the top of the home, a stunning office with a private balcony captures panoramic Flatiron views. The walk-out lower level includes a rec room with fireplace, two additional bedrooms (one non-conforming), a full bath, a yoga/art studio, wine storage, and sliding doors to the backyard. The exterior blends cedar shake, wood, and slate finishes with low-maintenance xeriscaping, multi-zone drip irrigation, a fenced dog run, grassy area, and cascading stone steps through natural terrain. An oversized tandem garage offers space comfortably for three cars plus a workshop. Moments from Bear Canyon, Kohler Mesa, and NCAR trails and zoned for Bear Creek Elementary, Southern Hills Middle, and Fairview High - three of Boulder's most sought-after schools. Panoramic views make this a rare Boulder retreat.
