Full remodeled in 2025, this modern 5 bedrooms-2 bath house has an excellent location, only 2 blocks to CU campus, the Hill, and just minutes to vibrant Pearl St. With parking for 4 vehicles (1 Detached Garage + 3 Off-St) - a rare and highly valuable feature in this area - this is an excellent investment. For parents, this is a powerful financial move: instead of writing rent checks for 4 years and walking away with nothing, you can own the property, build equity, benefit from appreciation, and potentially offset expenses with rental income from roommates. Currently rented through July 31, 2027, the property generates strong income now, giving you time to plan ahead. The layout balances private bedrooms with inviting shared spaces. The open-concept kitchen and living area with vaulted ceilings and brand-new appliances creates an ideal environment for both studying and socializing. A detached den/playroom adds flexible space for entertainment, group projects, or quiet focus (foosball table and fridge included). Every major component was fully updated in 2025 - flooring, drywall, insulation, interior and exterior paint, lighting, electrical, plumbing, bathrooms, and kitchen - all permitted with the City of Boulder. New washer and dryer included. Sprinkler system in place for easy landscape maintenance. This place needs nothing. Parking is a major advantage: large 1-car detached garage, 3 designated off-street spaces, plus typically available on-street parking - a true differentiator for student households. For investors, the excellent location plus the numbers work: strong cash flow, tenants pay all utilities and trash, plus low-maintenance improvements throughout. Whether you're planning strategically for your student's college years or securing a proven income-producing asset in a premier location, this property offers immediate income and long-term wealth-building potential.
