Three private bedrooms each have their own full bath, ideal for visitors, guests, or hosting unforgettable Airbnb stays for CU Parents Weekend, Sundance Film Festival, or anyone seeking the quintessential Boulder experience. A sunroom invites morning coffee among the trees; a loft office offers retreat and focus. Two bike sheds await your e-bikes for easy access to Goose Creek Path, or anywhere in town. A truly magical playhouse is ready for it's next generation of imaginations. Four fruiting trees in the yard will make you a popular neighbor.This home's spirit is undiminished and its price reflects the opportunity to make it your own. With ample off-street parking, proximity to top-rated schools, and an active short-term rental license generating at least $7K/month, this home is more than a place to live, it's a feeling and a lifestyle. A slice of Boulder magic waiting to be yours.
