~ Central Boulder Gem - Walk to CU/Folsom - 20 acre park out the back gate ~

In central Boulder, on a quarter acre, sits our quiet and comfortable home. A 20 acre park is outside the back gate with an outdoor olympic-size pool, newly refurbished water park and playground, skate park, and ballpark. The Boulder bike path is also out the back gate, so getting around via bicycle or walking is an easy option.

A few blocks from CU and the 29th Street Mall, this central location is ideal for enjoying all that Boulder has to offer.

This 1952-built house has been upgraded. Both of the bathrooms are new, as is the kitchen. It's solar heated and powered for a lighter footprint. We've radiant heat for the winter, and AC (mini-splits) for the summer.

**** The booking adult must be at least 30-years old. Parties are not allowed. This is our home, and we'll appreciate you treating this as if it's your house. Sorry, and strangely, glitter and Axe Body products are not allowed.

There are 3 bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a Cal King bed, it's own bathroom, and a loft office with an outside deck. The 'purple bedroom' has a queen bed. A third bedroom room has a double bed. The screened and covered patio off the dining room is a lovely place to enjoy the magical backyard. An olympic-sized swimming pool at Scott Carpenter Park is just out our back gate, as is a great playground and grass hill.

The dining room boasts two large windows and a lovely sitting area with a glider chair and clavinova piano. We've wireless internet, and a brand new sectional couch in the living room. We have YouTube TV, Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime.

City of Boulder license #RHL2017-00279 and only 3 unrelated occupants are allowed to rent the space.

There are two Ring security cameras, one at the front door and one near the back door.

Just like home
Eric and Shanti have graciously opened their house to others who want to experience life in Boulder. We visited our daughter (who lives in Boulder ) over Thanksgiving and this was a great place to gather. We were a family with an infant, toddler, their parents and grandparents. The house is clean, spacious, and abuts a park with a playground. That's one reason I chose it - we walked out the back gate with our toddler and played there. The house is remodeled inside as you can see from the photos. Everything we needed for Thanksgiving was there. When we had questions they were quickly answered. We would love to come back in other seasons to take advantage of the screened-in porch, the yard, and the neighborhood. I highly recommend others to stay here.

wonderful home and owners
This was the perfect place for our long weekend visiting our older daughter at CU Boulder. Our younger 10yo daughter lover the park with playground just out the back gate. The water park was closed for the season but looks like a lot of fun. Our younger daughter left a note in their guest comments book, and the owners emailed a very nice reply which our daughter will be thrilled to read after she gets out of school today!

Great home, ideal location close to to CU
The house was great, as advertised. Clean, updated, nice large peaceful backyard. If you are looking to do anything at CU, downtown Boulder this is an ideal, walkable destination. Short drive to the Flat Irons as well. Highly recommend

Property is located close to CU Boulder campus and within walking distance to 29th street mall. The backyard is large and backs up to a park. We are a family of 4 adults and there was plenty of room to entertain and feed a group of 10 adults on Thanksgiving.
