Beautifully located in highly sought-after Chautauqua Heights, this stunning and secluded four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom Boulder gem pairs historic provenance with high-quality renovations and a mesmerizing backdrop of verdant gardens and majestic Flatirons views. A contemporary mountain retreat with rich rustic elements, this special sanctuary is reminiscent of the fine homes of Aspen, Vail and Beaver Creek.
Glen H. Huntington— the well-known architect of several of Boulder's most beloved public buildings, private residences and CU campus structures — designed the original house in 1925 for himself and his family. Substantially expanded by a 1945 addition by James Hunter and meticulously renovated in 2005 by Parrish Construction Co., the property is immaculately maintained with reverent updates that align with Huntington's vision. At the iconic Huntington House, the classic Jacobean/Elizabethan style shines through with a lovely brick façade, gable roof and dormer windows nestled on a lush corner lot.
Inside this sprawling 4,731-square-foot home, a large foyer flanked by coat closets introduces a warm and welcoming ambiance accented by hardwood floors, handsome millwork and a wonderful layout for grand entertaining. Greet guests alongside a gas fireplace and exceptional natural light in the formal living room or plan your next dinner party in the beautiful formal dining room. The kitchen is a chef's wonderland filled with cherry cabinetry, stone countertops, a butler's pantry and stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner gas cooktop, Fisher & Paykel wall ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher.
Ahead, the sun-kissed family room is sure to become a favorite gathering spot with its gas fireplace and breakfast nook, where soaring windows frame a dramatic garden and Flatiron views. An adjacent music room with sunny glass doors leads to the elevator, a main-floor bedroom with outdoor access, a new laundry room, and a hallway with additional coat closets open to a heated two-car garage and workshop area.
Seamless indoor-outdoor living on the 0.3-acre corner lot's beautifully landscaped grounds, meticulously maintained by Native Edge. This enchanted wonderland is enclosed by two custom gates designed by Boulder artisans Amos Zubrow at Iron Rose Forge and Barrie McClean of McLean Forge. Two waterfalls, lush plantings, a delightful tree sculpture carved by Hollow Log, stone walls, and privacy fencing create a serene and magical escape ideal for reading and lounging, while the Viking outdoor kitchen and a gas fireplace set the stage for al fresco cooking and dining.
Inside, ascend the front or rear staircase — or board your wood-paneled elevator — to explore the air-conditioned upper level's desirable split-bedroom layout. In the private owner's suite, discover a sprawling bedroom with vaulted beamed ceilings, new wool carpet, two massive walk-in closets and mountain views. A pocket door reveals an en suite spa bathroom featuring bespoke black walnut and red oak cabinetry, a jetted tub, glass steam shower, double vanity and a private water closet. A convenient office and large mezzanine media room lead to a separate wing with two more bedrooms and full bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, including a spacious and bright junior suite and a large bedroom previously used as an exercise room.
Throughout the home, you'll find custom hardware, decorative faucets, designer tile and lighting updated in the 2005 renovation. Radiant heat warms the front entry, living room, primary bathroom and junior suite bedroom, while fresh paint completes this exquisite move-in ready residence.
From this gorgeous tree-lined street, you'll enjoy easy access to coveted Chautauqua cultural events and attractions, including Chautauqua Park, the auditorium and Dining Hall. Dozens of world-class trailheads await just blocks away, with CU, Downtown and Pearl Street minutes from your door.
