The home
A 2018 house sited to face the Sanitas ridge, with the main living volume raised half a level to clear the neighbouring roofline. Larch rainscreen, standing-seam roof, triple-glazed throughout, and an air-source heat pump that carries the whole house. Walk to the Wonderland Lake path in under ten minutes.
Represented by Ines Kovač. All measurements are approximate and taken from the assessor record; a buyer should verify square footage, lot dimensions and permit history independently during the inspection period.

Neighborhood
North-west Boulder at the base of the foothills, on a gently rising grid that ends at the open space boundary. The Mount Sanitas and Wonderland Lake trailheads are within walking distance of most of the neighborhood.
Under the Fair Housing Act we describe the place and its built form only — never the people who live there, and never who a home would “suit”.
Everything in Newlandsper month
An estimate only. Conventional 30-year assumptions, hazard insurance modelled at 0.35% of value a year, and mortgage insurance added below 20% down. Your actual payment depends on credit, debt ratios, reserves, occupancy and the loan product. A pre-qualification is a lender's opinion based on what you tell them; a pre-approval is based on documents they have verified. Sellers here take the second one seriously and largely ignore the first.
