Property Description
Inspired by the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and infused with eclectic design elements from around the globe, 8532 Strawberry Lane is a true work of art that transcends time and geography while maintaining perfect harmony with its immediate environment. Sited on 2.4 magnificently landscaped acres, the grand residence boasts more than 22,000 square feet including a 3,600-square-foot conservatory and pool/spa area.
Priced at $5.395 million, this property represents an incredible investment opportunity with three recent appraisals exceeding $7 million and a Chubbs insurance appraisal at $9.9 million (not including land value).
The home’s interior is as impressive in its many fine details as it is in its size and stature. Upon entering through the Australian Jarah hardwood doors that service the home’s main entrance, one is struck by a majestic 2-story foyer with rich French Travertine floors, generous use of Honduran Mahogany trim and casing, geometric ceiling detail and 6 large skylights that illuminate the foyer in natural light. A pair of rare antique Indian doors with matching custom transoms frame the entry into the home’s executive study. Bordered on the exterior by a space designed for a Japanese garden, the study features a rich blend of Santos and Honduran Mahogany, antique Chinese imports integrated with warm Cottonwood cabinetry, silk roman shades, inlaid wood floor and a spiral staircase accessing a private balcony that offers spectacular views of the property’s exterior gardens and mountain views beyond.
A carefully selected jewel-toned paint scheme lends character and style to each of the home’s finely appointed living spaces while at the same time creating fluid lines and a natural flow from room to room.
The home’s gleaming gourmet kitchen is accented in Cottonwood cabinetry, Indian Viara granite, wide-plank Mahogany flooring, extensive custom lighting and high-end appliances. This kitchen has been featured in ‘Colorado Homes & Lifestyles Magazine’ and Boulder’s exclusive ‘Kitchens on Fire’ tour of art-inspired kitchens.
Among the many highlights of the home’s elaborate spaces for recreation and entertainment is the attached conservatory and pool area. Comprising more than 3,600 square feet with a 40’ pool. waterfall and in-ground spa encircled in sculpted Dakota sandstone, the conservatory is 35’ high from the ground level to the ceiling’s highest point. It is accessible from the home’s main and lower levels with multiple overlooks from all levels. The pool area offers easy access to the home’s spectacularly finished lower level that includes a full wet bar, tropical fish tank, Morrocan-themed family room and lavish custom theater.
A black terra cotta tile roof provides a glorious contrast with the home’s exterior stucco, imported stone, Bluestone pavers, cedar-lined eves and custom-cut pillars reminiscent of an ancient Asian temple. Other exterior features spawned from international inspriation include a multi-tiered Koi pond system, a Japanese garden area and a Tea House constructed from an antique Indian frame with a western cedar roof. The 2.4-acre property abuts a pond and designated county open space that offers access to miles of jogging or biking trails. Unsurpassed views of Boulder’s Flatirons and snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks add to the natural ambience of this magnificent estate. |
