Offering mountain views & breezy indoor/outdoor flow, this airy retreat will immediately put you in Vacation Mode. Filled with natural light and a curated playful style, the Artful Abode is an ideal property for larger groups that need space to spread out & relax. Very livable and family friendly, this property also works well as a location to collaborate, mixing business with pleasure. If you're into design, you should be happy here: custom artisan details, an eclectic mix of vintage & modern furnishings & a playful art collection create a pleasant and relaxing environment.

Feeling lazy? Uber typically shows up in 5 minutes.

LOCATION: The Newlands neighborhood is loved by locals because (1) you can't get any closer to the mountains, and (2) downtown is only a 12 block stroll when you want to be there... but this area remains peacefully free of parking issues, noise & traffic. Mt Sanitas trail access is 4 blocks from the front door. North Boulder Park (3 blocks down) is a great spot for picnics & sports and it has a wonderful kids playground. Our neighborhood retail center (Ideal Market area) offers Whole Foods, wine/spirits shop, several local restaurants, coffee/tea shops, ice cream shop, bakery, pizza house ... pretty much everything you may want is conveniently located right down the hill. A 15-min walk (or 5 min bike) through the beautiful Mapleton Historic District gets you to the Pearl Street action.

FUNCTIONALITY OF THE HOUSE: This is an ideal property for groups that want to enjoy time together, but would also appreciate multiple in/out lounging areas to escape to for some privacy. There are 4 queen bedrooms, 3.5 baths total. If needed, the couches in TV lounge can convert to 2 single beds. We also have a comfy air mattress and a Pack-N-Play for little ones.

MAIN FLOOR LIVING AREA: Kitchen/Dining/Living/Office -- All Open Flow -- connecting from the Front Porch straight through to the Rear Deck. Master Suite is also on this level.

MAIN FLOOR MASTER SUITE: French doors open to an outdoor seating area overlooking the back yard. The master bath offers a huge soaking tub & separate shower. A dual-sided gas fireplace is visible to bed & bath. A 50" flat screen TV is concealed within the wall. The loft above master opens to a lovely turfed roof deck with stunning views of Mt Sanitas & Dakota Ridge.

LOWER LEVEL, EAST SIDE includes 2 bedrooms, a TV Lounge; and a Full Bath: When you walk downstairs, you reach a landing. The door on the left reveals Bedroom 2, which includes an attached TV Lounge. There is a large couch, a 55" flat screen TV & a large glass slider that opens to a very private back yard. To the right of the stairs is Bedroom 3. This is the only bedroom that does not have its own private seating area within. Bedrooms 2 & 3 share a full bath, which is conveniently accessed from the hallway (it is not a jack-and-jill setup; so the bedrooms enjoy more privacy).

LOWER LEVEL, WEST SIDE offers an InLaw Suite: A bit more removed to maximize privacy, this spacious InLaw Suite has a small seating area w/ flat screen TV and an efficiency/wet bar with table/desk. A private bathroom is attached.

MORE DETAILS:
-- Two gas fireplaces, one in the living room and one in master.
-- Two offices: the loft above master is best for quiet conference calls. The main office is off the living area with views of Dakota Ridge (if needed, this can be a 5th bedroom).
-- During the winter, Radiant In-Floor Heat keeps the house cozy and is very efficient
-- During the summer, an evaporative cooling system provides an eco-sensitive alternative to traditional AC (No Central Air... don't worry, it’s cool & comfy in summer!)
