Additionally, there's a quiet reading nook for your library. Beyond the main house, an 800-square-foot studio, with a private entrance, offers endless possibilities as an art studio, office, or gym or game room. This not included in the square footage, and brings the house nearly 5000SF under roof. Above the garage, a 500-square-foot carriage house serves as an ideal guest suite or office space. Pine Brook Hills has natural gas lines, it's own water district and a fire station in the neighborhood. Boulder Valley provides bus service to the neighborhood schools and the county plows the roads for the busses early on snowy mornings.
