Aspen , Vail, and Telluride are Colorado ’s most expensive cities for real estate, but Boulder home prices are on the rise. According to a recent report, the average luxury home price spiked from around $5.89 million to upwards of $8 million.
This $7.7 million home in the Park Lake community certainly reflects this uptick. Located at 8802 Lakeside Court , the home was built in 1976 and underwent a down-to-the-studs renovation in 2008 to create a modern mansion inspired by the surrounding mountain and set up for those who love to relax and entertain, perhaps after a long day hiking or biking in the nearby foothills or kayaking on the local lake.
Situated on a flat 1.6-acre parcel, the just shy of 7,500-square-foot home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The clean-lined stone and concrete facade provides a more contemporary take on a typical Colorado mountain home. Inside, there’s an open-plan, double-height great room housing the living area, dining room, and kitchen. There’s plenty of wall space for avid art collectors to showcase large-format pieces, as well as built-in shelving and a bridged walkway over the living and dining areas. Huge windows flood the room with natural light. Off the great room is the professionally equipped chef’s kitchen, which has a massive center island and a secondary island with built-in seating.
