Perched up on a hill, facing south into the sweep and drama of Coal Creek Canyon, sits a 2.5-acre outpost of Colorado possibility-17.8 miles to Table Mesa Drive and Broadway, 17.5 miles to Golden. Practically equidistant! As if some unseen cartographer, ruler in hand, had planted a pin at precisely the spot where convenience and escape shake hands.And then, the house! Not your standard suburban box, no sir. An upside-down house, built in 1978, a cheerful act of architectural rebellion. You enter on the ground level, where a rec room awaits, along with a wet bar, a bathroom, and an extra room for cards, guests, hobbies, plotting your next great adventure-whatever suits the occasion.Upstairs, where convention would normally place the secondary spaces, is the main event: three bedrooms, two baths, a living room awash in light, and the kitchen and dining areas positioned to take full advantage of the views and the altitude.The stewardship has been meticulous. Not merely maintained, but tended by an environmental engineer from the Colorado School of Mines-a credential that practically hums with diligence. New septic system in 2017. Solar power installed in 2020. Extra insulation. The practical improvements that don’t shout but quietly transform the experience of living.And now the place stands ready for its next chapter: a home for someone seeking tranquility without isolation, sunshine without scorching sprawl, fresh mountain air without sacrificing access to civilization. A little piece of Colorado, elevated in every sense of the word.
