Set on an exceptionally large .3-acre lot backing directly to Salberg Park, this North Boulder home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and connection to everything that makes this neighborhood so special. Step outside and the Boulder lifestyle is quite literally at your doorstep-parks, bikeways, Growing Gardens, Ideal Market shopping center, and easy access to Pearl Street are all just minutes away.Inside, the bright and welcoming floor plan is designed for comfortable everyday living. The kitchen opens to spacious living and dining areas with bamboo floors, while two sets of glass doors create an easy connection to the expansive backyard. With mature landscaping, room to garden, gather, play, or simply enjoy the open space beyond, this is a backyard that feels increasingly hard to find in the heart of Boulder.Three bedrooms and two baths are located upstairs, while the garden-level walkout adds a second living space, fourth bedroom, guest bath, and a high-efficiency wood stove for cozy Colorado evenings. On-demand hot water, thoughtful updates, and a large storage shed add everyday convenience.But the real magic is the setting: a generous lot tucked against Salberg Park in one of Boulder's most loved neighborhoods, with miles of bikeways connecting you to the best of North Boulder and beyond. Whether you're heading to the farmers market at Growing Gardens, biking downtown for dinner, or simply walking out the back door to the park, this is a home that puts the Boulder lifestyle within easy reach.
