1431 Balsam Ave Boulder CO... WELCOME HOME!
This Classic Boulder country farm house also very much resembles a provincial French Cottage...one that has been so comfortably and beautifully renovated over the years.
This lovely 2-story home likely dates back to before 1896 when a photo of it 1st appeared in old family photos taken from a home that was "verified to have been built" in 1896, that is located on the other side of the street.
This beautiful brick paved Foyer adds an extra 100 sq ft to the current listed sq footage of the house: a bonus! (Please verify the total sq footage of the house as there are a number of unnamed rooms whose measurements may not have been added in.)
Isnt this space incredible? Read a good book or just simply sit back and enjoy your front lawn and gardens all year round.
Come right on in to the Extended Kitchen Area of this home that elicits such a warm and comfortable feeling for everyone.
Then continue on through to this well equipped bright and cheerful kitchen.
Note especially the cool slab granite work and the custom kitchen cabinetry.
This built-in study is an interesting and creative extension of the laundry area. There is also a back door from this room to the yard and garden. Such a great place to use to keep up on your correspondence and bills.
Enjoy the wide-planked oak floors that have been kept in excellent condition.
So many doors, many with floor-to-ceiling glass to bring the outside amenities and bright light inside this home.
Youll want to dance your heart away any time of the day...as you sing your way through creating your meal planning and preparations.
Hows this for an extended kitchen-dining area? So comfortable & inviting. Theres even room for a love seat in there if you enjoy watching TV as you relax and eat.
Lets head out through the dining room to get to the incredible family/art/media room thats right up the stairs on the far side of the dining room.
Another set of French doors that will let out to the patio area. Take your coffee or tea, breakfast, snacks and other meals outside to enjoy nature while you eat.
Hows this gorgeous vaulted room appeal to you? Such an enchanted space to inspire and relax you.
Lovely gas fireplace flanked by huge entertainment cabinets to hold your TV, stereo, records, DVDs, camera equipment, games, and art supplies...
Did I mention the built-in custom bookshelves that flank either side of the entertainment centers?
Ahhh...enjoy the spaciousness and ambiance of this room! Have fun in here with all sort of creative and relaxing activities.
Come on down through this most lovely dining room once again... Note the custom built-in bookshelves.
On our way to a very special living room/conservatory space. (You can enter this room from the foyer as well.)
So calm and peaceful in this room. Read, play the piano or meditate...the choice is up to you.
The doors back out to the foyer are on the right and the doors going in to the "hub", or shall I say, the "heart" of this home are on the left. But were not done with this tour yet...
Around the corner, this main floor bedroom has tall lovely windows through which to enjoy the view of the grounds around this special home.
Hip, modern colors update this Classic Home. Theres a guest closet just outside of the bedroom just before you make a turn up the stairs to the upper floor of the west wing of this house.
Second floor "bonus room" has a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the back yard and a large skylight through which to view the Boulder Foothills.
The Master Bedroom at last! Look at the unique architectural design as well as all the windows and skylights! Note, custom shades have been added to all of the skylights in the house. That and 12" stone walls augments the energy efficiency of the house.
This tall walls of this glorious Master bedroom can serve as your personal art gallery as well. Note the pocket door for privacy on the right leading to the en-suite bathroom. How special is that!
Spacious bathroom in Master en-suite again has vaulted ceilings and even more skylights.
Back on down the hall to this cheerful 3rd bedroom or study in which to spend time or to have available for your guests to spend the night.
Now, on round the house to the back yard. Wait till you see whats coming up next!
Have I mentioned the 526 sq ft garage for your vehicles, bicycles, and other toys? Theres also a built-in 12 by 4 storage cabinet/closet in the garage for your use as well.
Pass on through the backyard gate (on the East side of this incredible home) and look at what awaits you.
A backyard big enough in which to do whatever you could want to do in it. Green space that goes on seemingly forever...
This back yard is perfect for volleyball, badminton or croquet games and a wonderful place for your friends, family and pets to enjoy.
Relax..take a seat at the table...how about inviting your friends over for a barbecue? Plenty of room for many folks to enjoy the patio and yard at the same time.
Exits from both the dining room and kitchen to the great outdoors. Doors, doors, and more doors...what a treat!
At twilight, outdoor dusk to dawn lights bring this home to yet another level. And yet another view of the the foyer...how pretty!
Such a special house that you that you can easily make into your own shan-gri-la.. Your timing is perfect!
Once again..."Welcome, Home!...and Good Evening to you!"
