House in Boulder, CO
Reasons to book
About this house rental
The unique open-floor plan, designed by the current owner, an artist and graphic designer, was featured on Home & Garden TV and in a colorful coffee table book entitled, "Vintage and Artistic Homes of Boulder."
The living room, front sun room and open dining area have high ceilings and hardwood red oak floors. The sun room has a desk, office chair and floor lamp for working. Of course, there's WIFI throughout, also four flatscreen TVs, a Family room with puzzles and games, and for those who play, there's a spinet piano.
The elegant style throughout the house seamlessly integrates charming Victorian details with contemporary fixtures and an open feeling of space and comfort. There is art on the walls and sculptures on plexiglass pedestals, so you can guess that the house is a bit of an art gallery and is not suitable for children under 16. Sorry.
The Master suite (Bedroom 1) encompasses the whole upstairs and has 16 ft. cathedral ceilings, three skylights, and views of the mountains. The Master bedroom has a large flatscreen TV, a walk-in closet and a washer/dryer of its own. (This is in addition to the washer/dryer in the basement.) The house originally built in 1889, a true Boulder Victorian, has been lovingly remodeled, however, the update of the upstairs bathroom hasn’t been done yet, so it remains of Victorian size (one sink, single shower, etc. See photo.) In addition to the queen bed in the Master bedroom, there is a sofa sleeper that unfolds to become a full size bed.
The Family Room is adjacent to the Master bedroom and has a flatscreen TV, a Blu-ray player (with a large selection of academy award nominees), and three desk areas for work or puzzles and games. The couch is a queen sofa sleeper, and though the Family room is adjacent to the Master, there is no door between them. If the sleepers in both rooms are in use, it will require some coordination to use the upstairs bathroom.
Adjacent to the Family Room is a Break room with a Keurig coffee maker (in addition to the Nespresso in the downstairs kitchen). The Break room also has a sink, countertop, small refrigerator and microwave for popcorn and heating up snacks.
The Master suite is comprised of the whole upstairs floor and has a private entrance from the side of the house which offers the perfect opportunity to use it as a private suite closable closable from the downstairs.
Downstairs are two bedrooms with a shared bathroom (Jack-and-Jill style). Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and the room looks out onto the deck and tree-filled backyard. Bedroom 3, has a flat screen TV and a very comfortable Luonto sofa sleeper bed which opens into a full-size bed. Both rooms have closets.
Sleeping arrangement summation: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus 2 sleepers (a full size in the Master and a queen in the Family room, adjacent with no door between.) For a flexible group the house sleeps 10.
The kitchen is fully stocked and has two sinks, a center island, and a gas range. The classic Danish modern dining table pulls out to seat 10 and there are dishes, table cloth and chairs for a group that size.
French doors open onto the 2-level, wooden back deck, which has a gas barbecue grill, comfortable deck furniture, a USB/USB-C jack, and a long quartz counter top for entertaining. The yard is surrounded by trees, green and lush in summer, snow covered and a picture-postcard wonderland in winter.
This classic Victorian is in an ideal Boulder location: perfect for The Sundance Film Festival, CU graduation, The Conference on World Affairs, and anything else in town, at Folsum Field, or on the CU campus. It's 1 short block from the hiking trail up to the Viewpoint that overlooks all of Boulder and beyond; and it leads to Gregory Canyon and Flagstaff Mountain.
Also:
• Quantum Fiber broadband Internet throughout (1 Gig / 940 Mbps) —perfect for remote workers and digital nomads.
•There are TVs in the Master suite (Master bedroom and Family room), the kitchen, and downstairs Bedroom 3. All with access to major streaming apps.
• USB/USB-C enhanced electrical outlets throughout for easy device charging.
• Easy on-street parking
• 2 washers & dryers
• Central air conditioning throughout
• Vermont Casting propane stove in the living room
Definitely no parties or events. As I am allergic to pet dander, please no pets of any kind inside or out. Goldfish okay.
I'm an artist, graphic designer and writer and the house is really part of my portfolio of work. As such it is not at all suitable for children under 16, so this has to be a hard and fast rule. Thanks so much for understanding.
PLEASE NOTE:
When inquiring about a stay in my house please mention how many people will be in your group and the configuration, as it makes communication so much faster and easier. Also, please let me know why you’re coming to Boulder. I may be able to help with suggestions.
I look forward to hearing from you. I've loved Boulder for 25 years and hope you will too. Tina
