The living room and adjacent dining room are graced with original windows. The kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful, featuring thick antique marble counters and top-tier finishes. Just beyond, the primary suite includes a peaceful dressing room with garden views and a jewel-box bathroom. A second bedroom offers similar garden outlooks and opens to both a delightful sunroom and private side garden access. The sunroom, once a screened porch for a nearby historic sanatorium, now offers a quiet retreat in every season. Above, a charmingly adapted attic delights guests, serving as both a bedroom and magical playroom. Step outside to find an elegant garden of sophisticated design, which provides additional living space many months of the year and a superb area for entertaining. The entire garden is enclosed by a custom-designed fence. The contemplative side garden is a composition of stone paving, lichen-covered boulders, and native plants. Mixed flower borders fill the garden with bloom from early spring to late autumn. This landscaping continues into the alley with a cutting garden adorned with seasonal flowers. This is a residence that speaks to the discerning eye-those who cherish quality, beauty, and timeless design. It's a home that lives as gracefully as it looks, offering daily inspiration in one of Boulder's most sought-after settings.
