Have you been searching for a Boulder home with stunning views yet offering the seclusion and peace of the mountains? Look no further than 178 Balsam Lane. This private compound, perched on nearly one acre of land, is just 5 miles from the Pearl Street Mall, providing the perfect balance of city convenience and mountain tranquility. Imagine unwinding in a space designed for relaxation and creativity. Whether you want to unplug, read a book, or simply enjoy the fresh mountain air, this home offers the perfect setting. With expansive indoor and outdoor living areas, you can soak up Colorado's 300 days of sunshine, host a BBQ, or enjoy the flat, fenced yard that's a mountain rarity. Inside, you'll find a large chef's kitchen adjacent to a dining area and great room, featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and walls of windows that showcase extraordinary views from every angle. Two spacious living rooms, each with vaulted ceilings and fireplaces, provide ample space for gatherings. Step outside to 1,000 square feet of low-maintenance Trex decking, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The primary suite, nestled among the trees, includes a gas fireplace and access to the deck. Additionally, there's a quiet reading nook for your library. Beyond the main house, an 800-square-foot studio, with a private entrance, offers endless possibilities as an art studio, office, or gym or game room. This not included in the square footage, and brings the house nearly 5000SF under roof. Above the garage, a 500-square-foot carriage house serves as an ideal guest suite or office space. Pine Brook Hills has natural gas lines, it's own water district and a fire station in the neighborhood. Boulder Valley provides bus service to the neighborhood schools and the county plows the roads for the busses early on snowy mornings. The HOA is a voluntary contribution. 178 Balsam Lane truly checks all the boxes for a dream home in the mountains!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
