Built for mountain living by legendary local builder Jeff Fruth, this custom home reflects the kind of thoughtful construction that comes from truly knowing the Colorado mountains. Raised in Boulder and a longtime Peak to Peak resident, Fruth designed the home to embrace its setting, from sweeping views across Boulder Canyon to James Peak to abundant natural light, passive solar exposure and a floor plan that works beautifully for everyday life. Set on 1.5+ usable acres with mature Aspens, striking rock outcroppings and plenty of Colorado sunshine, the property feels wonderfully private without putting you miles from everything. Step into the hot tub and take in the view, relax on the deck, or head out for hiking, biking, skiing and exploring with Nederland and Eldora Mountain Resort just minutes away. Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, custom built-ins and generous windows bring character throughout the home. The spacious layout includes a dedicated office plus a walkout lower level with a rec room, bonus room and private entrance, creating excellent flexibility for guests, work, hobbies or additional living space. Newer appliances add a welcome update to the kitchen, while a large custom shed and attached two car garage provide plenty of room for mountain gear, tools and toys. And the location is a standout. Boulder is just 13 miles away, while nearby Summer Road provides a seasonal shortcut that can trim approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the drive to Boulder. Close to town and recreation yet surrounded by views, sunshine and open space, this is a well built mountain home with the setting and bones that are hard to replicate.
