Property Description
Calling all CU parents and investors! Why pay rent when you could build equity? Perfectly positioned in the heart of University Hill, just blocks from CU Boulder and moments from Chautauqua Park, this charming 5-bedroom (including 2 non-conforming basement bedrooms), 3-bath home offers an incredible opportunity to experience the best of Boulder living! Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, this meticulously maintained home is as inviting as it is versatile. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer comfortable living, while an intricate wood staircase and charming built-ins complement a remodeled kitchen with newer appliances, updated electrical and plumbing, and beautifully refreshed bathrooms featuring tile flooring and quartz countertops. The fully renovated lower level offers exceptional flexibility with new flooring, fresh paint, two non-conforming bedrooms, an added 3/4 bath, and a spacious recreation room perfect for movie nights, a second living area, or additional storage. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a welcoming covered front porch, private back patio, and charming Juliet balcony off the primary bedroom. Enjoy Flatirons views, a low-maintenance front yard with newer turf, and xeriscaped outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Ample off-street parking adds convenience, while potential for a 2-car garage with living space above presents exciting future possibilities, subject to city approval. Location, charm, and opportunity, this is University Hill living at its finest! With a strong rental history, an unbeatable location near CU, and a lease in place through July 2027, this property offers an opportunity to invest now and plan ahead for your student's college years. Future rental income may help offset ownership costs, while long-term ownership offers the potential to build equity beyond graduation. Whether you're planning for your Buff's future or expanding your investment portfolio, this is one you won't want to miss!
