Property Description
A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Boulder's History- This exceptional 1958 home is more than just a place to live-it's a beautifully preserved piece of Boulder's rich cultural and architectural heritage. Once owned by Leonardo Laudisio, the beloved restaurateur behind one of Boulder's most iconic Italian eateries, this residence reflects a passion for entertaining, culinary excellence, and timeless design. A Chef's Dream: Commercial Kitchen and Entertaining Spaces- In 1996, Laudisio added a commercial-grade kitchen where he hosted Italian cooking classes and private events. Today, this culinary space remains a centerpiece, featuring a Commercial Imperial Gas Range and Oven, a top-of-the-line convection wall oven, granite and steel countertops, and breathtaking views of the Flatirons from the breakfast nook-perfect for starting your day with beauty and inspiration. In 2009, the original kitchen was transformed into an elegant wet bar complete with granite countertops, a bar sink, dishwasher, wine cooler, and custom glass display cabinetry, enhancing the home's reputation as an entertainer's paradise. Original solid hardwood oak floors, lovingly maintained, add warmth and authenticity throughout. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a convenient laundry chute, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious primary suite with en-suite bathroom and balcony access-offering an ideal retreat with stunning mountain views. Lower Level Bonus Spaces- The finished lower level includes a second bar area, a versatile bonus room (previously used as a wine cellar), an additional bedroom, and a full bathroom featuring a relaxing jetted tub. Thoughtful Modern Updates- • 2019: Installed a new high-efficiency 40-gallon gas water heater. • 2020: Added PVC sewer lines and clean-out ports for enhanced plumbing reliability. • 2021: Full clay pipe sewer line replacement to the street. • 2022: Installed a Lennox high-efficiency furnace for the lower level and a Lennox high-efficiency heat pump and new A/C system for the upper level. • 2017: New roof installation on both the house and garage. All windows feature a transferable lifetime warranty, ensuring comfort and efficiency for years to come. Unrivaled Location, Views, and Outdoor Living- Perched atop glacier-formed Hoover Hill, this home enjoys panoramic, unobstructed views of Boulder's iconic Flatirons and the Rocky Mountains. Zoning covenants protect these priceless views permanently.Enjoy colorful sunsets from the shaded flagstone patio, unwind in the private Wind River four-person hot tub, or gather around the historic 1950s wishing well-now thoughtfully converted into a charming fire pit. The expansive Trex balcony and show stopping manicured front gardens create ideal spaces for hosting unforgettable gatherings or peaceful reflection. Across the street, serene pastureland (undeveloped and protected) offers a pastoral setting where horses graze in summer and bald eagles perch nearby. Garden-to-Table Living- The backyard is a gardener's dream, featuring a raised-bed vegetable garden with drip irrigation-currently thriving with tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, rhubarb, and more. Four mature apple trees and a pear tree provide bountiful seasonal harvests. Exclusive Crestmoor Community and Lake Access- Residents of Crestmoor have eligibility for Baseline Lake membership-a private lake limited to just 125 households. While there is currently a waiting list, this highly coveted amenity offers swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing, and lakeside relaxation only minutes from home. A Home with a Legacy- Every renovation and addition at 1069 Crestmoor Drive has been thoughtfully planned and meticulously maintained by its four previous owners, preserving the spirit and integrity of the home. With its seamless blend of historic charm and modern luxury, this one-of-a-kind Boulder property offers a rare chance to own a truly special piece of Colorado's history. Whether you're drawn by the home's culinary legacy, architectural beauty, luxurious amenities, or unrivaled setting-this is a home that will inspire for generations to come.
