Welcome to your dream Boulder retreat! This enchanting 3771 square foot home, originally built in 1885 and meticulously restored, combines historical charm with modern luxury.

The fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s paradise, featuring high-end appliances, spalted fiddleback maple wood cabinets, and a stunning spiral staircase that adds a whimsical touch.
Unwind in the spacious living areas or head downstairs to the media room, where a huge screen TV awaits against hand-painted gilded walls. Enjoy meals in the dining room, showcasing exposed structural bricks and slats, along with custom-created light fixtures that add a unique flair.

Forage fresh produce from the organic raised bed garden or relax in the meditation sanctuary tucked away in the backyard. The front and back yards are lush with fruit trees, creating a serene oasis.
Retreat to one of the three airy bedrooms, each offering a peaceful night's sleep. With 4 bathrooms, you’ll have plenty of space for everyone, and each one is equipped with all the essentials. Two additional bedrooms are currently set up as an office spaced and a reading room both overlooking the front garden facing the most charming Mapleton Street.
This house is more than just a place to stay – it's an experience. Come make unforgettable memories in this Boulder gem!

What makes this property unique
Unique. Relaxing. Comfortable. Clean. Peaceful. Memorable. Luxury. The perfect hub from which to explore Boulder and the surrounding areas.
It may be worth mentioning - the founding members of Naropa including Pema Chodrin lived in this house. The property is a sacred space - a healing sanctuary. I trust you will sense it upon arrival and leave feeling restored.
Almost a gallery. From pieces I picked up while traveling to those I created or found, each one has a unique story. I'm sharing them with you, trusting you'll appreciate their craftsmanship and uniqueness.
The hand-toweled Venetian plastered walls were a labor of love.
The gardens have evolved beautifully over the years. The raised bed organic garden is for your pleasure and health.
Additionally, in the backyard, where Buddhists originally gathered to pray, you'll find a very charming meditation sanctuary. It's a special spot, perfect for finding your own peace and inspiration.
Private parking!
As you arrive on Mapleton Ave, you will be find the flagstone and cobble driveway. It's wonderful to have a guaranteed safe place to park.
If by chance you are driving a truck or oversized vehicle please park on the street.
The kitchen is fully equipped for your pleasure. Grill on the patio. Outdoor patio dining table with large umbrella
Beds have lovely cotton sheets, blankets, comforters and good pillows. The bath has lush white towels.
Internet is accessible via the QR code. The Large Smart Screen is on the lower level. The high speed fiber optics wireless internet allows you to access your subscriptions. I do not provide cable TV.
In the upstair's office an Epson ET-2850 Printer is for you to use. Just download the app if you need to print.
