2003 Balsam Dr, Boulder, CO 80304

Property Description

Positioned on one of the most exceptional view lots along Balsam Drive, just blocks from downtown Boulder, 2003 Balsam Drive offers nearly half an acre with unobstructed views of the Flatirons, foothills, and city below. Located in coveted Hillcrest, the 20,466-square-foot property enjoys extraordinary views in nearly every direction. The Flatirons rise to the south, Mount Sanitas and the foothills define the western horizon, and the city and plains stretch east. Morning sunlight illuminates the mountains, while evenings bring spectacular sunsets and the glow of city lights. The southeast-facing lot slopes gently north toward Goose Creek, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and openness. Underground power lines preserve the expansive views, while surrounding architecturally significant homes underscore the exceptional setting. The existing 1952 residence presents an opportunity for renovation or replacement. With generous lot dimensions, favorable RL-1 zoning, and city water and sewer, the property offers an outstanding canvas for a custom home designed to embrace the views, natural light, and surrounding landscape. Downtown Boulder is minutes away, with Pearl Street's celebrated restaurants, galleries, and boutiques, including Michelin-starred Frasca Food and Wine. The Boulder Theater, eTown Hall, Ideal Market, North Boulder Park, and Mount Sanitas trails are all nearby, placing Boulder's finest amenities within easy reach. Combining extraordinary mountain views, nearly half an acre of land, and an exceptional location just moments from downtown, 2003 Balsam Drive represents a rare opportunity to create a magnificent home in one of Boulder's most irreplaceable settings. Showings begin Friday, Oct 23 at noon.
