Public Remarks: Historic Gold Hill cabin with a charming and exciting interior. Feel the history as it is tastefully preserved throughout the home. Cozy living room with a fireplace and a bright family room/office. The kitchen combines old and new with its 1880s kitchen wood stove and the new gas/range oven. The bathroom and the mud room were added recently with finishes to match the rest of the home including a clawfoot bathtub. The home has lots of storage: an insulated attic and a 10x20 unfinished basement. The property has off-street parking and large shed. The property is wonderfully located between the famous Gold Hill Inn and the Gold Hill General Store. 25 minutes above Boulder via paved Sunshine Canyon Dr.
