A lovingly remodeled Victorian in a quiet tree-lined West Boulder neighborhood; 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus 2 additional sofa sleepers (sleeps 10 max); excellent location: 1 short block from the Flagstaff trail system and also a 8-10 minute walk (north) over the creek to the historic Pearl Street mall, restaurants & stores; near CU campus (west), Chautauqua (south), and hiking trails. Rental bikes available a few blocks away; some are electric and perfect for managing the many hilly areas.

The unique open-floor plan, designed by the current owner, an artist and graphic designer, was featured on Home & Garden TV and in a colorful coffee table book entitled, Vintage and Artistic Homes of Boulder.

The living room, front sun room and open dining area have high ceilings and hardwood red oak floors. The sun room has a desk, office chair and floor lamp for working. Of course, there's WIFI throughout, also four flatscreen TVs, a Family room with puzzles and games, and for those who play, there's a spinet piano.
The elegant style throughout the house seamlessly integrates charming Victorian details with contemporary fixtures and an open feeling of space and comfort. There is art on the walls and sculptures on plexiglass pedestals, so you can guess that the house is a bit of an art gallery and is not suitable for children under 16. Sorry.

The Master suite (Bedroom 1) encompasses the whole upstairs and has 16 ft. cathedral ceilings, three skylights, and views of the mountains. The Master bedroom has a large flatscreen TV, a walk-in closet and a washer/dryer of its own. (This is in addition to the washer/dryer in the basement.) The house originally built in 1889, a true Boulder Victorian, has been lovingly remodeled, however, the update of the upstairs bathroom hasn’t been done yet, so it remains of Victorian size (one sink, single shower, etc. See photo.) In addition to the queen bed in the Master bedroom, there is a sofa sleeper that unfolds to become a full size bed.
The Family Room is adjacent to the Master bedroom and has a flatscreen TV, a Blu-ray player (with a large selection of academy award nominees), and three desk areas for work or puzzles and games. The couch is a queen sofa sleeper, and though the Family room is adjacent to the Master, there is no door between them. If the sleepers in both rooms are in use, it will require some coordination to use the upstairs bathroom.
Adjacent to the Family Room is a Break room with a Keurig coffee maker (in addition to the Nespresso in the downstairs kitchen). The Break room also has a sink, countertop, small refrigerator and microwave for popcorn and heating up snacks.
The Master suite is comprised of the whole upstairs floor and has a private entrance from the side of the house which offers the perfect opportunity to use it as a private suite closable closable from the downstairs.
Downstairs are two bedrooms with a shared bathroom (Jack-and-Jill style). Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and the room looks out onto the deck and tree-filled backyard. Bedroom 3, has a flat screen TV and a very comfortable Luonto sofa sleeper bed which opens into a full-size bed. Both rooms have closets.
Sleeping arrangement summation: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus 2 sleepers (a full size in the Master and a queen in the Family room, adjacent with no door between.) For a flexible group the house sleeps 10.
The kitchen is fully stocked and has two sinks, a center island, and a gas range. The classic Danish modern dining table pulls out to seat 10 and there are dishes, table cloth and chairs for a group that size.

French doors open onto the 2-level, wooden back deck, which has a gas barbecue grill, comfortable deck furniture, a USB/USB-C jack, and a long quartz counter top for entertaining. The yard is surrounded by trees, green and lush in summer, snow covered and a picture-postcard wonderland in winter.

This classic Victorian is in an ideal Boulder location: perfect for The Sundance Film Festival, CU graduation, The Conference on World Affairs, and anything else in town, at Folsum Field, or on the CU campus. It's 1 short block from the hiking trail up to the Viewpoint that overlooks all of Boulder and beyond; and it leads to Gregory Canyon and Flagstaff Mountain.

Also:
• Quantum Fiber broadband Internet throughout (1 Gig / 940 Mbps) —perfect for remote workers and digital nomads.
•There are TVs in the Master suite (Master bedroom and Family room), the kitchen, and downstairs Bedroom 3. All with access to major streaming apps.
• USB/USB-C enhanced electrical outlets throughout for easy device charging.

• Easy on-street parking
• 2 washers & dryers
• Central air conditioning throughout
• Vermont Casting propane stove in the living room

Definitely no parties or events. As I am allergic to pet dander, please no pets of any kind inside or out. Goldfish okay.

I'm an artist, graphic designer and writer and the house is really part of my portfolio of work. As such it is not at all suitable for children under 16, so this has to be a hard and fast rule. Thanks so much for understanding.

PLEASE NOTE:
When inquiring about a stay in my house please mention how many people will be in your group and the configuration, as it makes communication so much faster and easier. Also, please let me know why you’re coming to Boulder. I may be able to help with suggestions.

I look forward to hearing from you. I've loved Boulder for 25 years and hope you will too. Tina

    What a fantastic house! We felt like we were in an art museum! So much to see and appreciate. The home itself was well stocked and very organized. Location is great, in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Pearl street shopping and dining. I needed to change dates, which proved to be easier said than done thru VRBO. Tina responded immediately and together we made it work. She also inquired during our stay if we needed anything. Tina is by far one of the best hosts I’ve dealt with. I highly recommend this house. We will be back again.

    Lovely, eclectic, artistic home… not just a house. Felt like we were staying at a family member’s home, provided peace & calmness & good vibes. Good location to get to our event in the mountains, close to university & Pearl St. for shops & food options. Fantastic kitchen, we bought groceries & made a few meals in also. Appreciated access to the washer & dryer.

    The unit is the entire first floor of a large house. It's very spacious, and is full of interesting works of art by the owner and others - she has put a lot of thought into the place. It was clean and well equipped (though we actually had to move stuff a little to make space), and the owner makes herself available to help out if necessary. The downtown and university areas are within a healthy walking distance, and we also did a great short hike into the foothills, which begins a small distance down the street from the unit. We had a wonderful stay and would gladly visit again.

    We loved our stay. Nearly every day, after a morning hike, we would lounge on the large deck, then walk to one of the wonderful restaurant. The location was perfect as it was also easy to get out of the city to go on our hikes. We travel North, West and South to hiking destinations. Check-in/Check-out was very smooth. Lots of art and interesting decor in the house.

    I was in town for sorority moms' weekend and the house was perfect for a small get together and peace and quiet when needed. The host was so welcoming. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. The house had every amenity possible for cooking small and large meals. (Even a Nespresso machine, which we loved!). We will definitely be back as the location was perfect to both the hill, and pearl street. Five out of Five stars!

    We spent Thanksgiving in Boulder with our children who just moved to Boulder. The location was great and the house was very comfortable and it made for a great and special time to spend with the family.

    Our host thought of all the details. It was so easy to relax - everything was easy and comfortable. Great location - an easy walk to the campus.
