About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 1503 Balsam, a rare blend of timeless charm and character, nestled in one of Boulder's most beloved neighborhoods. Built in 1918, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home spans 1,965 square feet and effortlessly weaves together classic farmhouse warmth with touches of mid-century style and thoughtful modern updates. Step inside and you're greeted by colorful, vibrant spaces filled with character-original details, warm wood tones, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace that anchors the main living area. This is a home with heart: full of nooks, textures, and light, offering a feeling you just don't find in newer builds. The layout is inviting and flexible, ideal for everything from quiet mornings to lively gatherings. The main level is home to a primary retreat with bedroom, large bathroom, and laundry. There is also a cozy study, sitting room, or playroom on just off the living room. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a hall bath, and ample closet and storage space.Outside, a shaded and peaceful back patio offers a private retreat under the trees-perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or dreaming up future possibilities. The home sits on a lush lot with mature landscaping and undeniable curb appeal. The one-car detached garage offers storage and convenience. And the location? Unbeatable. Just six blocks from North Boulder Park and three blocks from Ideal Market, Sweet Cow, Belleza Coffee, and Santo-you're perfectly placed to enjoy Boulder's best local favorites in a neighborhood that feels like home.
