If you appreciate refined design, exceptional craftsmanship & a deep connection to nature, you'll be drawn to this elegant cottage nestled in the heart of Boulder's prestigious Mapleton Hill neighborhood-just 5 minutes from the Sanitas Valley Trailhead. For those who value quality over quantity & charm over excess, this residence offers a unique opportunity to live with intention & grace. As you approach the home, you're greeted by a series of flourishing gardens & inviting entry. Step into a sunlit living room where antique French tiles adorn the fireplace & museum-quality lighting highlights artwork throughout. The living room & adjacent dining room are graced with original windows. The kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful, featuring thick antique marble counters & top-tier finishes. Just beyond, the primary suite includes a peaceful dressing room with garden views & 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 & 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.
