A serene main-level primary bedroom offers convenient living with a walk-through dressing room that leads to an elegant bathroom with marble tilework and glass shower. The second main-level bedroom opens to both a delightful sunporch and private side garden access, while the second bathroom showcases a striking skylight that bathes the space in natural light.

The private side garden is a composition of stone paving, lichen-covered boulders, and native plants. The back garden features a sunny dining terrace with views of the Flatirons. A silver maple, one of the original 1885 Mapleton Avenue trees, creates a leafy canopy attracting songbirds throughout the seasons. You'll enjoy the home's premier location in Boulder's Mapleton Hill neighborhood just a block from Mt. Sanitas and Red Rocks trailheads, while urban conveniences await six blocks south on Pearl Street. This charming residence offers effortless living through its considered design, ideal for both full-time residents and those seeking a refined Boulder pied-a-terre.
