The Space:
Step into style and serenity in the heart of Boulder. Just one block from the CU campus, this newly furnished, design-forward retreat offers the perfect blend of mid-century architecture and elevated modern living. Thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original character, this home exudes timeless sophistication with clean lines, warm textures, and curated interiors that feel both refined and welcoming.

With over 3,300 square feet of space, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home comfortably accommodates up to eight guests. Each bedroom is outfitted with high-quality linens and plush mattresses—featuring one king, two queens, and one full—for a restful and luxurious night’s sleep. The layout is ideal for both relaxation and connection, with elegant common areas designed for conversation, quiet moments, or a glass of wine by the fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with everything you need to host effortlessly, from intimate dinners to celebratory gatherings.

For those who need to get a little work done during their stay, a dedicated office space with a desk and chair offers a quiet and comfortable spot to focus. Downstairs, you’ll also find a card table perfect for board games, puzzles, or a low-key night in with friends or family.

Outdoors, enjoy coffee on the covered patio or unwind in the fully fenced backyard—private, peaceful, and perfect for Colorado evenings. An attached 2-car garage makes coming and going simple, though you may find yourself leaving the car behind. Even though you're just a block from campus and in the center of it all, the surrounding neighborhood is peaceful and quiet—truly the best of both worlds. Whether you're in town for business, pleasure, or a little of both, this is Boulder living at its most graceful.

The neighborhood:
Nestled at the foot of the Flatirons, Boulder is one of those rare places where nature and culture feel perfectly balanced. Whether you’re here to hit the trails, explore the local food scene, or simply unwind in a slower pace of life, Boulder makes it all easy. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, most locals live in hiking boots or bike shoes and are always up for a walk down Pearl Street or a quick jaunt into the mountains.

The heart of town beats around Pearl Street Mall — a charming, brick-paved pedestrian area full of locally-owned shops, street performers, cafés, and restaurants. Don’t miss happy hour at one of Boulder’s many craft breweries or farm-to-table restaurants. If you're into wellness, you’ll find everything from yoga studios and juice bars to hiking groups and sunrise meditations on the trail. Boulder really leans into its reputation as one of the healthiest (and happiest) cities in America.
Outdoor lovers are spoiled for choice here. Head up Chautauqua Park for stunning views and accessible hikes, or explore Boulder Canyon if climbing or creekside picnics are more your speed. The Boulder Creek Path winds through town and makes a perfect route for a walk or bike ride. Nearby Eldorado Canyon and Flagstaff Mountain offer more technical hikes, climbing, and panoramic views of the Front Range.

Venture just 30–40 minutes in any direction and you’ll stumble upon something new: the artsy and ever-evolving scene in Denver, the charming small-town feel of Louisville and Lafayette, or the historic vibe of Golden. Whether you're heading into the hills for a weekend ski trip or just grabbing local produce from the Boulder Farmers Market, this area has a way of turning even the most everyday moments into something memorable.

At its core, Boulder is about balance — between work and play, adventure and rest, nature and culture. You’ll feel it in the air, in the people, and in the way life flows a little easier here.
