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.
