Tucked away at the end of a quiet private street in the heart of Central Boulder, this thoughtfully updated residence sits on an expansive 11,000 square foot lot, offering a rare sense of privacy, mature landscaping, and seasonal Flatirons views.
Designed to maximize light and livability, the main level features vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, and an open layout connecting the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Large windows frame the surrounding greenery, creating a natural connection to the outdoors. The kitchen features SS appliances, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, a built-in bar area, and generous storage. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, while a powder room and spacious laundry room complete the main level. Sliding doors open to a newly redone deck, extending the living space outdoors.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. The en-suite bath includes a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a private WC, complemented by a custom walk-in closet with a center island. A mini-split system enhances comfort in the primary suite, in addition to central air conditioning. An additional bedroom and full bathroom complete the upper level.
The finished lower level includes a spacious family room with built-ins, a full bathroom, and two additional bedrooms.
The outdoor setting defines the property—an inviting, private oasis within the city, with multiple areas for gathering and relaxation. A new deck, covered pergola, and a separate firepit area are set within a beautifully landscaped, usable yard with mature trees, a water feature, irrigated garden beds ideal for herbs, vegetables, or seasonal blooms, along with a chicken coop and shed.
Recent improvements include a newer roof and the fully redone deck.
Located minutes from Ideal Market, neighborhood shops, and dining, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, outdoor living, and walkability in one of Boulder’s most sought-after locations.
