    What's special

    Quiet tree-lined characterMature landscaping
    1559 Orchard Avenue presents a compelling opportunity to build in the heart of North Boulder on an approximately half-acre, flat, shovel-ready lot. The generous site offers room to think expansively about architecture, outdoor living, landscaping, and the relationship between home and land, a level of flexibility that can be difficult to find elsewhere in Boulder. Whether approached by a developer, architect, or future homeowner, the fundamentals are already in place: a highly usable parcel, substantial space, and an established North Boulder setting. Orchard Avenue has a quiet, tree-lined character, with mature landscaping and larger residential lots creating a sense of space while keeping everyday conveniences close. Lucky's Market, Bakehouse and Cafe are nearby, Broadway provides easy access throughout Boulder, and Wonderland Lake, surrounding trails, and open space offer abundant opportunities to get outside. It is a location that combines the breathing room of an established residential neighborhood with the connectivity that makes North Boulder so desirable. What distinguishes 1559 Orchard Avenue is the combination of land, usability, and location. The flat half-acre provides a substantial canvas for a custom residence, with space to create meaningful outdoor areas alongside the home rather than designing around the constraints of a tighter urban parcel. Bring a personal vision to life, collaborate with an architect, or develop a distinctive North Boulder residence on a site that offers both scale and flexibility. In a city where this amount of usable land is increasingly limited, 1559 Orchard Avenue offers the opportunity to build with room to spare, without giving up access to the neighborhood amenities and outdoor spaces that support the way you want to live.
