This mountain retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a charming and move-in ready home at an affordable price. Enjoy the airy, open floor plan with a cozy living room and modern kitchen on the main level. Upstairs, you will find a spacious bedroom with office space. Built with quality and sustainability in mind, the home features passive solar design. There is plenty of room for an expansion as Boulder County allows a total of 2,576 sq. ft. on the lot, and the septic system is sized for 3 bedrooms. Perched atop a scenic ridge, the property boasts lovely views of Fourmile Canyon and Sugarloaf Mountain. The final half-mile of road is well maintained by the neighborhood association, providing reliable year-round access while preserving the serenity of mountain living.
