RECIR1070287The light finds you first…At dawn it pours through two stories of glass and spills across radiant-heated floors as the plains wake below. By evening, the sky over Boulder turns peach and violet, and the whole house glows like a lantern on the hillside.This is in Spring Valley Estates, reimagined by Brad Burch of IndexAD. Mid-century modern lines are sharpened to precision on 2.06 acres that border open space, so the privacy is real and the land feels like your own. Turn in any direction and the view keeps going: mountains, plains, city and water, a full 360 degrees. It’s the kind of setting you can’t build anymore.Climb the sandstone steps, pass through the red front door, and the ceilings lift away. The vaulted great room flows into a chef’s kitchen built around a sprawling marble island and Miele appliances, made for slow Sunday mornings and dinners that run late. Pour something at the wet bar, then settle into the lounge as the light turns gold and the city lights flicker on below.Two primary suites mean everyone gets the Good Room. In the spa-like bath, sink into the soaking tub or the steam shower and let the day dissolve. Climb to the loft to read, meditate or work above it all. A flexible fourth bedroom or office and a full-light lower level give the home room to grow with you, whatever the next chapter brings.Outside, Colorado-native plantings soften the architecture and draw frequent wildlife visitors. Fire up the outdoor kitchen, gather friends around the patio table, and watch evening settle over the valley.The quiet luxuries are built in: whole-house water filtration, an in-house fire-suppression system, and an oversized attached garage with room for every toy. Every detail has been handled, so you never have to think about it. Wild on the outside. Refined within. Minutes from downtown, a world away. Come see it at sunset. You won’t want to leave.
