BEAUTY IN SYMMETRY
Many psychologists argue that beauty and symmetry are synonymous. This Colonial Revival house is perfectly symmetrical. Dual fireplaces, sunrooms, rooftop decks, and arched windows mirror each other. 1403 Baseline Road is the kind of traditional American home that radiates elegance. This stately dignified brick home sits comfortably behind a wrought iron fence on almost a quarter acre. We don’t say this lightly… but they do not make them like this anymore.
Very few homes are important enough to have their own name. Also known as the Henrietta Somers House. It’s registered as a historic landmark. Owning this home means owning a part of Boulder’s history. The home was built in 1935 by the famous architect Glen Huntington. Huntington is also responsible for designing the Boulder Courthouse, Boulder High School, and the Central Park Bandshell. This house was commissioned by Henrietta Somers, the founder of the Somers Sunken Gardens, a University Hill restaurant which is now known as “The Sink”.
Tall trees and mature landscaping shade the Historic University Place Subdivision. Views of the flat irons, the northern foothills, and downtown Boulder surround you. Sidewalks and bike lanes make alternative transportation easy. From your front door, you’re only an 8-minute walk to Chautauqua Park’s expansive trail system. Full immersion in Boulder culture comes naturally in this neighborhood. It’s only a 5-minute drive to the Pearl Street Mall and 3 minutes to the University.
A dignified curved staircase greets you at the front door. Serve drinks in the living room before enjoying a candlelit dinner in the formal dining room. Two private balconies steps away from the bedroom/home office provide a respite from the daily grind. Original birch wood decorates the floors, trim, staircase, and French doors. The eat-in kitchen provides plenty of opportunities for good conversation over a cup of tea.
The Somers-Notestine House has everything you could ever need.
