RARE FIND - BACKYARD NATURAL PARADISE WITH CREEK. Don't miss out on the surprise property of the season! Imagine your own private oasis in North Central Boulder... This charming home hides a lush & private natural sanctuary in back - yet it's only minutes on foot or bike to Pearl St., Ideal Market, Casey Middle School & Columbine Elementary. A lovingly updated 1957 ranch with original hardwood floors throughout the main house, and large terra cotta tile floors in the addition. Double-paned windows in all rooms except the laundry keep the house nice and quiet for baby's nap during the day. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless appliances, and a custom dining peninsula framed by William Morris wallpaper. The adjacent dining area features a sliding door that leads to the flagstone patio with small perennial gardens interspersed. There is a bedroom at the southwest corner of the house that looks out to the natural paradise in back. The 2nd bedroom is at the northwest corner and has the same footprint. The 3rd slightly smaller bedroom has been converted by the owners into a custom office space with built-in bookshelves. To the other side of the house, the large addition added by the previous owners creates a separate south-facing wing, with windows on three sides and surrounded by mature cottonwoods. Originally conceived as a family room and currently used as a 4th bedroom, simply step through a second set of sliding doors onto the patio and you've entered a quiet, natural sanctuary facing a huge undeveloped hillside across the creek that abounds with wildlife. Deer & fox pass by regularly, plus owls and dozens of species of birds. A large raised bed garden covered with a walk-in hoop house sits in full sun, and a large shed provides plenty of room for storage. The very private patio is perfectly situated to enjoy outdoor meals under the trees. If you love nature but want to live in town, you've found your new home!
