Property Description

A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Boulder's History.This exceptional home is more than just a place to live-it's a beautifully preserved piece of Boulder's rich cultural and architectural heritage. Formerly owned by Leonardo Laudisio, the beloved restaurateur behind one of Boulder's most iconic Italian eateries, the residence reflects a deep 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, that chef's kitchen remains a showpiece, complete with a Commercial Imperial Gas Range and Oven, a top-of-the-line convection wall oven, granite and steel countertops, and a view of the Flatirons from the breakfast nook-perfect for mornings that start with beauty and inspiration. In 2009, the original kitchen was thoughtfully converted into an elegant wet bar, outfitted with granite countertops, bar sink, dishwasher, wine cooler, and custom glass display cabinetry. This addition enhances the home's reputation as an entertainer's paradise. Historic Details with Modern Comforts Nods to the home's original 1958 character remain, including the pristine mint green porcelain tub and toilet and beautifully maintained hardwood floors. All windows include a transferable lifetime warranty. The spacious Trex upper deck is accessible from two of the bedrooms, blending functionality with mountain-view charm. Unrivaled Location, Views and Outdoor Living Perched on the glacier-formed Hoover Hill, this home offers uninterrupted views of the Flatirons and the Rocky Mountains. Zoning covenants protect the view corridor, ensuring the scenery remains unobstructed for years to come. Enjoy sunsets from the shaded flagstone patio, relax in the private Wind River four-person hot tub, or gather around the converted 1950s wishing well, now a cozy firepit. The upper Trex balcony and manicured front garden provide ideal settings for entertaining or quiet reflection. Across the street, undeveloped pastureland adds a peaceful, rural touch-with horses grazing in summer and local bald eagles perched on nearby poles. A Garden-to-Table Experience The backyard features a raised-bed vegetable garden with drip irrigation-currently home to tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, rhubarb, and more. Four mature apple trees and a pear tree offer seasonal harvests, making fresh ingredients just steps away. Crestmoor Community and Lake Access Residents of Crestmoor enjoy eligibility for the Baseline Lake membership waitlist. Limited to just 125 households, this private amenity offers paddleboarding, swimming, and summer relaxation just minutes from home.
