Cute, eco-friendly condo that lives like a single-family home in the heart of Boulder. Updated interior, private yard, oversized garage, solar, and a dedicated EV fast charger are unique features.
Unassuming from the street, this is one of three units in an owner-managed HOA, with no shared interior walls. Private yard with high fence and mature trees gives space to relax outside and the oversized garage gives plenty of room for storage and bicycles as well as your car (or more bicycles!). Attached exterior storage gives secure space for skis, climbing gear, gardening supplies, or anything else you want indoors, but not in your living space.
Updated kitchen with an Electrolux gas range, Vent-a-Hood exhaust and Fisher & Paykel fridge. Bathroom makes good use of space with a comfortable vanity and dual-head shower and tub.
Energy efficiency improvements include insulated attic and crawl space, modern dual-pane windows, EV charger in garage, solar electric system, heatpump for supplementary heating and cooling, tankless hot water heater, and more. Hooked up for Quantum gigabit fiber!
One block from groceries, coffee, pizza, ice cream and more. 10 minute walk to Pearl Street, and conveniently located on the 13th Street Bikeway with access to major bicycle paths throughout town.
