Very desirable home in lovely valley setting which is convenient and quiet. Builder Jeff Fruth's personal property for the last 18 years. This location was chosen for the scenic beauty of the area. 250' frontage on North Boulder Creek, across the road, gradually sloping land with many rock outcroppings and massive ponderosa pines. The house was completely renovated in 2009, it had started out as a retreat cabin in 1971 for a Boulder family, as many of the properties in this valley did. This valley had its history in ranching, mining and family retreats. The 4 bedroom 2 bath home was built in an energy conscious way and included many of the features the owner was including in custom homes he built plus more. Entering the house, you will be greeted by a custom oak stairway with hand forged, custom iron railings with cherry handrails. To the right is the dining room and large kitchen with cherry, Shaker style cabinetry with varying depths and heights, capped with crown molding and soapstone countertops. To the left is a generous sized living room with full height corner windows, nestled in the pines with scenic valley views. In between is a Fireplace Xtrordinair wood burning fireplace in a stone surround with thick flagstone hearth, wood mantle and iron accents. The primary bedroom. Is on the main floor with vaulted ceilings. The primary bath is shared and is nicely tiled with a walk in shower and European glass enclosure. Upstairs there are 2 spacious bedrooms with interesting vaulted ceilings and a full bath between that is nicely tiled and light. This property has easy access to Nederland, is close to Mud Lake and Caribou Ranch Open Spaces and near the scenic Peak to Peak Hwy., The former Caribou Ranch property starts just one property to the west and is a large vacant parcel under a conservation easement. I am saddened to sell this property but it is time for new owners to carry it on in their way..
