The Story Behind
Architectural Masterpiece in Boulder's Most Exclusive Enclave
Nestled at the end of a private North Boulder cul-de-sac, this extraordinary 8,200+ square foot residence represents the pinnacle of architectural excellence. Designed by award-winning architect David Waugh with sophisticated interiors by Mickey Ackerman, the home seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary luxury living, creating an unparalleled sanctuary in one of Colorado's most coveted locations.
This magnificent residence stands as a testament to architectural vision and meticulous craftsmanship, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered and expertly executed. The collaboration between renowned architect David Waugh and interior designer Mickey Ackerman has produced a home that transcends typical luxury, creating spaces that are both grand and intimately livable.
The journey begins with a dramatic double-height foyer, where a sweeping wood staircase serves as sculptural centerpiece beneath soaring ceilings. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, connecting spaces with visual continuity while tall windows flood the interior with natural light. The refined study, with its floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and commanding presence, establishes the home's commitment to both beauty and functionality.
The heart of the home reveals itself in the kitchen, where culinary artistry meets everyday practicality. A substantial marble-topped island anchors the space, complemented by professional-grade Wolf appliances including a 4-burner range with griddle and convenient pot filler. Double ovens and a beverage cooler ensure seamless entertaining, while abundant custom cabinetry provides both storage and visual appeal.
The living spaces demonstrate masterful indoor-outdoor integration, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors dissolving boundaries between the formal living room and private backyard retreat. The adjacent dining room extends this philosophy, opening to a covered stone patio featuring a built-in grill – creating an entertainer's paradise that functions year-round.
Above the three-car garage, a bonus library wing showcases floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and flexible space that adapts to personal pursuits, whether as a creative studio, private office, or contemplative retreat. The upper level houses four en-suite bedrooms, each designed as a personal sanctuary. The primary suite epitomizes luxury with its gas fireplace, private balcony, and spa-inspired bathroom featuring a steam shower and soaking tub positioned beneath bay windows.
The walk-out lower level transforms the concept of basement space into sophisticated entertainment quarters. Large window wells ensure natural light penetrates this level, illuminating a media space, built-in bar, fitness area, and guest accommodation. Throughout the home, rich materials, custom millwork, and thoughtful proportions create an atmosphere of refined elegance that honors both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary living.
