653 Blue Spruce Drive

A complete renovation, from the foundation to a reconfigured roof, has created an extraordinary celebration of contemporary design, masterfully executed craftsmanship, acute attention to every detail, and an exceptional floor plan drenched in natural light.  

Bordering open space, this ultra-private and quiet almost quarter-acre cul-de-sac property is a brilliant jewel within the gates of the Blackhawk Country Club and showcases breathtaking unobstructed panoramic views from the Las Trampas Ridgeline in the distance to the third fairway of the Lakeside Championship golf course.  

Completed in April 2024, this "new home" is designed to cater to today's active lifestyle with more than $1.4 million in features and amenities. From its open floor plan, formal rooms, loft, and office/bedroom to the gourmet kitchen and family room, and fabulous backyard sanctuary, every aspect is geared towards comfort and convenience including cell phone app control of irrigation, garage doors, heating and air conditioning systems, security cameras, and kitchen and laundry room appliances. 

With five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a seamless flow to amazing outdoor venues, this home is updated to perfection, ensuring an outstanding experience.  

Behind the custom-designed Antigua front door is a jaw-dropping interior with about 3,475 square feet of living space, and gorgeous hand-selected custom finishes and features including richly stained maple hardwood floors, smooth textured walls, vaulted and high ceilings, plush carpeting, dual pane Andersen double French doors and windows, recessed LED dimmable lighting, solid one and ¾-inch interior doors, Emtek black matte hardware, clerestory, and a sweeping staircase with custom ironwork.

The chef’s kitchen harmonizes aesthetics and function beautifully with its custom white cabinetry by M & M Cabinets with detailed molding, under-cabinet lighting, pullouts, spice drawers, and appliance garages. Exotic black and white titanium granite slab counters with a white subway tile backsplash and a five-by-ten-foot island/breakfast bar for six illuminated by a trio of pendants offer abundant prep space.
