Designed by award-winning architect David Waugh with interiors by Mickey Ackerman, it showcases rich materials, timeless detailing, and a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. A dramatic double-height foyer sets the tone, anchored by a sweeping wood staircase and surrounded by tall windows and hardwood floors. Off the entry, a refined study with built-in bookshelves and soaring ceilings provides the perfect setting for work or reading. Across the foyer, the spacious living room features a beautiful fireplace and opens to the backyard through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The kitchen impresses with a large marble-topped island with prep sink, 4-burner Wolf range with griddle and pot filler, double ovens, beverage cooler, and abundant cabinetry-ideal for everyday living and entertaining. An adjacent dining room opens to a covered stone patio with built-in grill, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A powder room, mudroom, and attached three-car garage complete the main level. Above the garage, a bonus wing houses a stunning library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, hardwood floors, and flexible potential as a lounge, office, or studio. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, including a primary suite with sitting area, high ceilings, gas fireplace, private balcony, and a luxurious bath with steam shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities. The walk-out lower level is designed for relaxation and recreation, with large window wells, a media space, built-in bar, fitness area, guest bedroom, bathroom, and generous storage. Set in an exclusive enclave of just four luxury homes, Meadow Place offers privacy, peace, and proximity to Wonderland Lake trails, Lucky's Market, neighborhood schools, and downtown Boulder.
