This lovely little modern farmhouse is located at the base of the foothills in one of Boulder’s most prized neighborhoods. Tucked onto a challenging narrow lot, this inviting and sustainably designed 2400 sf., 4 bedroom home lives much larger than its compact form. The open floor plan and vaulted ceilings of the Great room, kitchen and dining room lead to a beautiful covered back patio and lush, private back yard. These rooms are flooded with natural light and blend a warm Colorado material palette and heavy timber accents with a modern sensibility. A lyrical open-riser steel and wood stair floats above the baby grand in the center of the home and takes you to three bedrooms on the second floor. The Master has a covered balcony with exposed beamwork & warm Beetle-kill pine soffits, framing their million-dollar view of the Flatirons. Its simple and familiar style is a modern twist on a classic farmhouse vernacular. The stone, Hardie board siding and standing seam metal roofing create a resilient and low-maintenance shell. The alley-loaded home has a solar-panel covered garage that was custom designed for the family’s active & athletic lifestyle (aka “lots of toys”). The front yard is a local food & water-wise Master-class, with beautiful rain-chains delivering roof run-off straight to the family garden.

This Garage is for storage of the family items: the husband's multiple golf bags, and since he is a cyclist, several biks. He has a nice checker sofa/futon/bed matching the floor to be put in this space, and a large flat big screen TVwill be installed on a swivel wall mount between the cabinets to complete his future "man cave"

VELUX skylights with room-darkening shades create a bright wellness space bathed in natural light. When it’s time to sleep, remote-controlled, room-darkening blinds block the light.

Juxtaposed to warm finishes the minty green brick backsplash gives range to this kitchen range. DESIGN Jessica Davis PHOTOS Emily Followill Photography Tile Shown: Glazed Thin Brick in San Gabriel
