Wake up each day and enjoy a quiet coffee on the veranda before leashing the pup and stepping out your front door. In less than a minute, you're walking into Boulder’s Open Space at the entrance to Chautauqua Park. The Flatirons stretch out in front of you—majestic and ever-changing, depending on the time of day or season. Whether it’s a challenging hike to Royal Arch or a gentle loop around the Chautauqua Meadow, you’ll likely run into familiar faces and happy dogs playing off-leash along the way. Then it's home again—until your return visit in the afternoon.

Set back from the street and shaded by mature trees, this home sits on a beautifully landscaped quarter-acre lot. It feels private and peaceful, with expansive windows facing north and west that keep the home cool while filling it with soft, natural light. The fully renovated main house is perfect for a couple or small family and includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two dedicated office spaces (one easily converted to a third bedroom)—an ideal layout for anyone balancing work and play in Boulder.

Inside, the chef’s kitchen blends style and function with custom-built cabinetry, Cambria countertops, a walnut breakfast bar, and a stunning accordion window that opens to a bar-style seating area outside—perfect for entertaining. High-end appliances include a Fisher & Paykel six-burner gas range, a double-drawer dishwasher, a drawer microwave, a wine fridge, and a deep farm-style sink.

Upstairs, the cozy living room features white oak hardwood floors and beautiful natural light streaming in through new skylights and double-pane windows. Throughout the home, custom touches like walnut built-ins, solid wood doors, and sleek metal railings give the space a warm, modern feel.

Each of the bedrooms is spacious and comfortable, while the bathrooms are sleek and modern. The main bathroom features heated tile floors, a double vanity with Cambria counters, custom cabinetry, a rain shower with Sharkskin and Wave tile, and an Elfa closet system. The second bathroom is equally refined, with heated floors, updated tile work, a modern glass shower, and a dual-flush toilet.

Behind the main home, you'll find a beautifully remodeled guest studio with its own private entrance. This flexible space is 498 square feet and includes a full bathroom, room for a king sized bed and comfortable living area, ideal for both long-term guests or short-term visitors. The attached oversized two-car garage offers extensive storage, built-in cabinetry, a workbench, room for bikes, and even a second washer/dryer setup.

Additional upgrades throughout the property include a new HVAC system, an upgraded electrical panel, all-new switches and outlets, new insulation and drywall in much of the home, new patio doors, and a brand-new roof completed in 2025.

Outdoor living is just as thoughtfully designed as the interior. There’s a shaded pergola perfect for lounging, a raised deck for outdoor dining, and a cozy firepit circle for crisp spring or fall evenings. The fenced yard is ideal for dogs, with a convenient dog door providing easy access in and out.

Evenings are quiet, and the neighborhood is wonderfully welcoming—Grant Place is celebrating its 48th annual block party this year. Whether you’re walking to dinner at the Chautauqua Dining Hall followed by a concert, strolling a mile down to Pearl Street, or heading to Folsom Field for a Buffs game, you’re always close to the heart of what makes Boulder special.

This home offers a rare combination of modern luxury, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable location just steps from Boulder’s most iconic trails. The current owners are consolidating and open to selling select pieces of furniture to the right buyer. This is your chance to step into a beautifully updated home in one of Boulder’s most desirable and dynamic neighborhoods.
