This is one of the most compelling residences currently offered in downtown Boulder — a full-floor penthouse in The Arete that pairs expansive indoor scale with exceptional outdoor living. The 4,415 SF interior was thoughtfully built-out in 2018 and centers on an architecturally striking turret living room with convex glazing that provides uninterrupted views to the Flatirons, Pearl Street, Boulder Creek, Chautauqua and Folsom Stadium. Cooking and entertaining are elevated by a Moros Fabrication Pental slab quartz island, natural stone granite counters, Wolf double ovens and range top, Sub‑Zero refrigeration, custom cabinetry and a built-in wine cooler.
A family room with custom fireplace and marble mantel offers a softer, cozy counterpoint to the grand entertaining space, while an adjacent office with built-ins provides a quiet work-from-home environment. The generous primary suite includes recessed cove lighting, a TV/fireplace wall, a separate primary vanity area and an oversized walk-in closet; the spa-like primary bath is finished in premium stone and fixtures. Three additional bedrooms each enjoy ensuite baths with granite counters—one currently used as a fitness room—so guest accommodations are seamless.
The most remarkable asset is the wraparound terrace—approximately 1,400 SF—served by 15 doors with screens across three exposures, allowing natural airflow and direct connection to the skyline and mountain panorama. Late-day sun and continuous vistas make the terrace a true extension of the living space for dining, gardening and entertaining. Practical conveniences include abundant discrete storage throughout, a ~150 SF dedicated storage room on the garage level, and three deeded underground parking spaces with additional guest parking in the building.
The Arete is consistently one of Boulder’s most highly regarded condominium properties, certified LEED Silver and known for premium construction and strong resale performance. All of downtown—restaurants, galleries, theaters, and the Pearl Street Mall—is within immediate walking distance, and trailheads to the Flatirons and Chautauqua are minutes away. This penthouse represents a rare opportunity to own an iconic downtown Boulder residence with turnkey, high-end finishes and spectacular, uninterrupted outlooks.
