2208 Champlain Drive

Very nearly a full acre in unincorporated Boulder County less than 3 miles from Downtown Boulder, this open floor plan, ranch style property is a serene oasis within the iconic 'Park Lake' neighborhood. ‘Park Lake’ was created in the late sixties as a collection of horse properties with a private lake and is surrounded by the Teller Lake Open Space. Bridle trails crisscross the neighborhood providing a private easement gate onto the Teller Lake trail leading to Gunbarrel Hill, Boulder Valley Ranch, Niwot and beyond. A beautiful wood burning fireplace with a massive single piece flagstone hearth greets your visitors as they enter. Immediately, your attention is drawn over hardwood floors, through the open dining room to the expansive family room windows with views of the stunningly immense back yard. Wide living room windows gaze out to a Continental Divide view. Two large bedrooms (one with a private bathroom) are located off the living room. The 400sqft family room is wired for surround sound and comfortably supports large screen viewing. A sweeping, very private master suite in the rear of the house provides panoramic views of the back yard with an arched ceiling and sliding glass door to the flagstone patio. The suite includes a large walk in closet and a spacious master bath that offers a very comfortable 6ft tub and walk in shower. The adjacent office provides a built-in bookshelf and overlooks spectacular lilac bushes encircling a racoon-proof bird feeder that attracts Spotted Towhees, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Orioles, Woodpeckers, Goldfinches, Wrens, Chickadees, Warblers, Tanagers and many other species. This summer, a nesting pair of Bald Eagles frequently strafe the yard while hunting the surrounding open space.
