CLASSIC VICTORIAN, a short walk to downtown in a charming Boulder neighborhood

Splendidly remodeled Victorian in a quiet, tree-lined, west Boulder neighborhood, 1/2 block from mountain trails, tucked away but a short walk to the Pearl Street mall, restaurants, CU campus, Chautauqua, Boulder Creek path & other trails. Perfect for CU graduation, Conference on World Affairs, The Sundance Film Festival, anything happening at Folsum Field and all the interesting things going on in Boulder. Everyone seems to love the location. Bikes are available for rental a few blocks away. Quite a few of them are electric bikes, great for managing the many hilly areas.

When inquiring please mention the reason for your visit and the configuration of your group so we're sure its a good fit. Makes communication faster and easier. Looking forward to hearing from you. Tina

The space
This unique open-floor plan remodeled Victorian home, 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, four TVs, a Family room with puzzles and games (VRBO designates it "the office") and for those who play piano, there's a spinet in the sun room.

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 like an art gallery and is not suitable for kids under 16. Sorry.

With regard to the sleeping arrangements, in total there are two queen beds, one queen sofa sleeper bed and two full size sofa sleeper beds, but please read the description of the sleeping arrangements carefully because you should know that each one of those beds is situated differently.
Downstairs are two bedrooms with a shared bathroom (Jack-and-Jill style). The back bedroom has a queen bed and the room looks out onto the deck and tree-filled backyard. The other room downstairs has a flat screen TV and a Luonto sofa sleeper bed which opens into a full-size bed. Both rooms have closets.
Upstairs is the Master bedroom, with a 16 ft. cathedral ceiling, three skylights, and views of the mountains (Mt. Sinitas, etc.). It has a large flat screen 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, a true Boulder Victorian, which was originally built in 1889, 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 the Master bedroom, in addition to the queen size bed, there is a sofa sleeper that unfolds to become a full size bed.
The Family Room (which VRBO designates "the office"), with its queen sofa sleeper bed, is adjacent to the Master bedroom but no door separates them. If the sofa sleepers in both rooms are in use, it will require some coordination to use the upstairs bathroom.
In the Family room there is a flats creen TV, a Blu-ray player (with a large selection of academy award nominees), and three desk areas for work or puzzles and games. It has a view of Flagstaff Mountain.
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 Upstairs (which includes the Master bedroom, the Family room and the Break room) has a private entrance from the side of the house which also offers a perfect opportunity to use it as a Private Suite closable from the downstairs.

The kitchen has two sinks, a center island, and a new gas range. The vintage teak dining table pulls out to seat 10 and there are dishes, table cloth and service for a party of that size.

Double French doors lead out to the 2-level, wooden back deck, which has a gas barbecue grill, deck furniture, a long quartz counter top and is surrounded by trees, green and lush in summer, snow covered and a picture-postcard wonderland in winter.

Also:
• Quantum Fiber broadband Internet throughout
•There are TVs in the kitchen, the downstairs sofa sleeper room, the Master bedroom and the Family room
• Speakers in the ceilings throughout he house can be controlled through WIFI by the music platform on your phone (Pandora, Spotify, etc.)

• Easy on-street parking
• 2 washers & dryers
• Central air conditioning
• 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 kind of a work of art. As such it is not at all suitable for children under 16, so this has to be a hard and fast rule. I've been reluctant to switch to instant book, but I've been assured that guests are bound by this rule which will enable the accommodations to continue to be stellar. Thanks so much for your consideration.

PLEASE NOTE:
When inquiring about a stay in my house please let me know how many people will be in your group and the configuration. Also, I'd love to know why you are coming to Boulder (Hopefully, I may be able to help with suggestions).
I've loved Boulder for 25 years & hope you will too. Tina

Guest access
You're invited to use the washer & dryer and back deck with barbecue and deck furniture.

Other things to note
With all the sleeping accommodations in use the house sleeps 10. The photos clarify a lot better than the basic ( limited and immutable) categories provided by the website. That's why it's important for you to read the sleeping arrangements in the description above and see the photo captions for further clarity. (You're a hero for having read this far.) Hope yo see you.
