Perched atop Old North Boulder on a rare half-acre lot, 2085 Balsam Drive offers some of the most breathtaking views in the city. With sweeping mountain panoramas from nearly every room, this architecturally sophisticated home blends modern design, thoughtful renovations, and over $1M in recent upgrades to create an unmatched Boulder living experience. Rebuilt in 2015 and extensively enhanced between 2021-2025, the home showcases soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and a seamless open-plan design. Recent improvements include a standing seam metal roof, new sand-finished patios, rebuilt deck with integrated drainage, extensive landscape design with retaining walls, irrigation, lighting, and an expanded north yard. A new driveway, sewer line, radon system, electrical upgrades, and water heater ensure long-term peace of mind. Inside, refinished oak floors, new luxury vinyl tile, and fresh paint set the stage for elegant living. A gourmet kitchen with Poliform cabinetry, Corian counters, Miele appliances, custom pantry, and wine refrigerator anchors the main level. The primary suite is a serene retreat with commanding views and a remodeled bath featuring radiant heated floors, new cabinetry, and refined tilework. Additional highlights include remodeled closets, smart home features, integrated entertainment systems, and a custom Media Room with cabinetry, sound, and a separate sauna. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with multiple patios and decks designed for year-round enjoyment, all framed by professional landscaping and dramatic Flatirons views. Even the garage has been finished with epoxy floors and slat walls. In a superb location on one of Boulder's premier streets, and only moments from downtown, 2085 Balsam Drive represents the pinnacle of Boulder luxury. An architecturally striking, meticulously upgraded residence offering elegance, comfort, and panoramic views. Explore the 3D Virtual Tour, drone video, and floor plans.
