About This Property

Discover a refined North Boulder retreat where timeless character meets thoughtful, modern upgrades. Tucked along one of the neighborhood's most serene, tree-lined streets, this 3 bedroom home blends classic warmth with elevated comfort. Sunlight pours through large south-facing windows and skylight, illuminating the inviting main living space. Original wood floors and custom built-ins preserve the home's charm, while newer paint, sleek quartz countertops, and recently upgraded appliances elevate the kitchen with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. A Morso wood-burning stove anchors the living room, offering a cozy, sophisticated focal point for cool Colorado evenings. The main level features two serene bedrooms and a beautiful full bath. The finished lower level-complete with a separate entrance-provides a versatile extension of the home. Here, exposed brick, a whitewashed wood-slat ceiling, updated flooring, and modern lighting create a stylish backdrop for a home office, media room, fitness space, or guest suite. A newer 3/4 bath and non-conforming bedroom enhance flexibility and function. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a series of peaceful, sun-drenched spaces. The fully fenced yards are a garden lover's dream, with room for blooms, vegetables, and gatherings around the firepit. From the spacious composite deck, enjoy postcard-worthy views of Mt. Sanitas-an ideal setting for dining, lounging, and effortless entertaining. With numerous upgrades including newer roof, central A/C, updated baths, newer hot water heater, upgraded bottom-up blinds, and an oversized driveway offering generous off-street parking, this home is beautifully move-in ready. Perfectly situated within walking distance to Pearl Street, Ideal Market, beloved cafes, and miles of Boulder's iconic trail systems, this North Boulder gem captures the essence of effortless living in a coveted location. A rare blend of charm, comfort, and convenience-your retreat in the heart of Boulder awaits.
