About this House

<br>The quintessential Boulder home! A five bedroom, four bathroom home split into two different, complete living areas with separate kitchens, entrances, and laundry rooms. This makes it perfect for intentional community and rental income! It is situated on over a quarter acre in Martin Acres, one of Boulder's most adorable and accessible neighborhoods, just steps from the bike path and bus. <br><br>The finishes inside are exquisite with slip trowel textures, slab granite, travertine, and rainbow polished slate to name just a few. Add in the Knotty Alder doors, hardwood floors, walnut and oak cabinets, crown molding, stainless steel appliances, and the stunning works of art that double as lighting fixtures and this property will take your breathe away. Upstairs, there is a yoga room with a special floor and mural painted by the famous Eve Naia and an expansive screened front porch to recline on and look out on the extensive gardens.<br><br>The basement of this house is a very sunny, separate living space with its own full kitchen, laundry, two fully conforming bedrooms with landscaped egress windows, an office, and two full bathrooms. It has been rented every single month for the last 7 years, bringing in between $1700-$2400 per month. Pay more than half of your mortgage with the rental income and still have your own space with total privacy! <br><br>The red turret roof and matching red door add further to the tremendous street appeal of this home as it perches lavishly on its corner lot.<br><br>The best part, situated on this quarter acre is a beautiful, artistically landscaped farm featuring fully automated microdrip irrigation system (growing enough food for 30 people), a coop full of chickens and ducks, blackberry and raspberry patches, and an orchard of apple, cherry, and pear trees! <br><br>The edible landscaping, perennial wildflowers, and flagstone walks, with auto-watered flowering crushables in between the stones, make this one of the most beautiful front yards in Boulder. <br> <br>The enormous backyard is fully fenced with a cedar fence so that you can enjoy your flatirons view from your high tech spa in privacy. <br><br>Your canine friends have room to run. The chickens and ducks can waddle and lay rainbow colored eggs in their state of the art coop and run. <br><br>This home has been owner occupied every year since the day it was built and has been lovingly cared for by its sum total of three owners. The current owners have put over $220,000 into adding the basement apartment from scratch, updating almost every finish in the house with natural stone, hardwood, and stainless steel, new electric, furnace, water heaters, Low E windows and doors, energy star appliances, and front yard landscaping and foodscaping, all in the last seven years. <br><br>Come embrace Boulder's sustainable and earth-centered way of life with this one of a kind home!<br><br>SHOWINGS BEGIN: March 3, 2015.

    "For anyone who wants to have easy access to hiking, biking and trail running the Martin Acres Community is an area to consider. Martin Park has a lot of bike paths that connect to other parts of Boulder. Within minutes via bike, car or bus you can be in downtown Boulder. For those who need to commute out of Boulder Hwy 36 is easy to get on to. Most of the homes are built of brick and many have been updated."

    "Great area -- and easy access to Denver or Boulder/CU. The Park and Ride to Denver is a 5 minute walk from my house and the bus stop into Boulder is at the end of my street. Easy bike ride to CU and to downtown Boulder, great bike paths. Great neighborhood -- mix of college students, families, retirees, CU professionals. Active neighborhood association."
