This single-story ranch blends classic mid-century bones with intentional modern updates and an enviable park-side setting. The house sits on a large 9,147-SF corner lot directly across from the Skunk Creek pocket park and offers seasonal Front Range and Mt. Audubon peekaboo views. Inside, 1,440 square feet is laid out for easy everyday living: three bedrooms, a remodeled bath, and sparkling hardwood floors create a warm, lived-in feel. A thoughtfully expanded family room anchors the home, with two skylights and a wood-burning fireplace that invite comfortable gatherings.
The kitchen is a standout: knotty alder cabinets, quartz countertops, a brick-set subway tile backsplash, 2' x 1' tile flooring, and a large center island with breakfast bar seating provide both style and function. High-end appliances — including a Dacor double oven and gas cooktop — make this an excellent space for people who love to cook and entertain. Practical systems have been addressed as well: the home features a newer furnace and central air conditioning, and there's a convenient stacking washer/dryer.
Outdoors, the oversized fenced backyard and generous side yard open possibilities for gardening, play areas, and entertaining. The one-car garage is large enough for workshop space and storage, and there's additional driveway parking. The property’s park-facing orientation means limited immediate neighbors on one side and a pleasant outlook onto mature landscaping and the creek corridor.
Location is a defining advantage. You're within easy walking or biking distance to the University of Colorado, with direct connections to transit and bike routes. Downtown Boulder, Pearl Street, and nearby trailheads are quickly accessible. This home will appeal to university staff/faculty, buyers seeking a single-level layout, and anyone who values outdoor space in the city proper.
