This well-maintained, turn-key home is set in the countryside on .96 acre with great western views across County open space to the snowcapped backdrop of the Continental Divide. Located close to town in a quiet rural environment, this special three-bedroom, two-bath home is private, yet only minutes away from the shops, restaurants, and social life of Erie, Lafayette, and Boulder. The property is zoned RR (rural residential) with no HOA. Inside, the upper level features an updated kitchen with quartz counters, maple cabinets, extensive hardwood flooring, remodeled bathrooms, fresh paint throughout, and designer lighting that gives the home a clean, updated feel. The primary suite includes 9×13 sitting area. Sliding glass doors open directly to a balcony that takes advantage of those exceptional views. The lower garden level has two secondary bedrooms and a full bath along with a family/recreation room. Recent upgrades include a new furnace and A/C system; triple-pane, Energy-Star windows with a transferable warranty; new septic tank and lift pump; and a newer hail-resistant roof installed in 2022. These are the kind of significant investments that protect a buyer for decades. Step outside to enjoy a recently refurbished, raised deck which overlooks the lower patio, gardens, and pergola. For those with animals or 4-H projects, the property has a two stall barn with storage, an attached chicken coop, and a recently built 12×24 Tuff Shed. All within the highly regarded Boulder Valley School District.
