Tucked away on a private four-acre mountain overlook on the western edge of Golden, CO, this custom mountain home was built to feel like an extension of the landscape itself. Tucked naturally into the hillside, the home offers complete privacy and respite from the nearby city. The drive approach presents a quiet, unassuming exterior, saving the best views and spaces for a wonderful sense of discovery once you step inside. The main level offers a bright, airy floor plan centered around a wood fireplace and large windows throughout that pull stunning northern mountain views into nearly every room. The entire living space flows effortlessly out onto an elevated cumaru wood deck that spans the full length of the home, placing you right among the treetops. Downstairs, the walk-out basement takes you to the forest floor for a completely different experience. Despite being built into the mountain side, the entire basement is flooded with soft filtered light from the tree canopy above. Every corner of this home reflects thoughtful craftsmanship with creative and artistic touches, and genuine warmth. You’ll find unique hand-picked features throughout, including reclaimed wood doors with vintage bubble-glass transoms from an old school in Denver leading into the mudroom, bathrooms, and lower level bedrooms. The open staircase connecting the floors carries a story as well, crafted from rich, reclaimed hardwood. Here, you get the absolute best of mountain living: quiet retreat, breathtaking nature, and true character, all while remaining less than five minutes from I-70 for easy trips into the city or up to the slopes.
