Some homes have a great location. Others have incredible views. It's exceptionally rare to find both.Set on one of the most desirable blocks in Mapleton Hill, just steps from the Pearl Street Mall, this beautifully restored American Craftsman enjoys what are arguably some of the best Flatiron views in all of Boulder. Whether you're relaxing on one of the two south-facing porches or simply looking out the large windows, the backdrop is nothing short of spectacular, with effortless Flatiron views from almost every room. Inside, the home blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Original woodwork and timeless architectural details have been carefully preserved, while the updated kitchen and numerous improvements make it as comfortable as it is beautiful. Natural light fills the home, highlighting the warmth and character that only a true historic property can offer.The landscaped yard provides a peaceful outdoor retreat, and the large unfinished basement offers endless possibilities for additional living space, a workshop, wine cellar, home gym, or extra storage.This is a home that lets you experience the very best of Boulder every day. Walk to Pearl Street's restaurants, cafes, shops, and farmers market, then come home to views that never get old. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare-a classic Boulder home in an unbeatable location with views that are simply in a class of their own.
Whittier, located between Broadway and 28th Street, is a historic and walkable Boulder neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a strong local-food scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Pearl Street and 28th Street, where patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include The Dairy Arts Center, Boulder Theater, and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. Early-1900s cottages and brick bungalows mix with tidy infill near the Pearl Street corridor. Pocket parks and the Boulder Creek Path shape daily routines with green space and bike flow. Cafes and markets along Pearl Street give the area a polished, lived-in rhythm.
