Set against acres of protected open space in coveted Dakota Ridge, this remarkable North Boulder retreat offers sweeping foothill views and sun-filled interiors across four thoughtfully designed levels. This 5BD/5BA custom residence spans 4,306 square feet, blending timeless craftsmanship with refined comfort. A welcoming covered porch introduces soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and curated millwork. The main level unfolds with effortless flow-ideal for both elevated entertaining and everyday living. The living room centers around a gas fireplace with bespoke built-ins and French doors that invite the outdoors in. The dining area, illuminated by modern designer lighting, connects seamlessly to a gourmet chef's kitchen featuring warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Dacor six-burner range. A generous island with breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, built-in desk, powder room, and direct access to the attached two-car garage enhance functionality without compromising style. Off the dining room, glass doors open to a pergola-covered deck overlooking a fully fenced yard framed by mature trees-an ideal setting for alfresco dining and sunset gatherings. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious en suite bath. A junior suite includes its own walk-in closet, private bath, and access to a west-facing deck. Two additional bright bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath, complemented by a dedicated laundry room and ample storage. The lofted top level provides a generous office or bedroom flex space with attic access, while the finished lower level features an expansive recreation room with custom built-ins, a full bath, & additional storage. A beautifully landscaped front yard adds enhanced curb appeal, all within steps of Dakota Ridge Park, miles of world-class hiking and biking trails, North Boulder's favorite amenities, and just 10 minutes to Pearl Street and downtown.
