About 2975 18th Street

Welcome to The Garden Light House, one of nine homes on this single block of 18th Street designed as a CU Architecture School project in the 1950s. Large windows, a bi-level plan with garden-level living, and wrought-iron banisters set these homes apart from the post-war ranches around them, and that original intent still shapes daily life here. Light is the first thing you notice. It comes through tall windows and a skylight, filtered by mature trees, and moves across the living room and kitchen on the garden level. The kitchen was planned by a cook: generous counter space, plenty of storage, a gas range, and a bay window that frames the garden. An office addition with built-in bookshelves sits just off the main living space. Upstairs, three bedrooms each have big windows and high ceilings. The layout bends to how you live: guest rooms, a second office, a library, a music room. The sellers have used it many ways. Outside, the yard is large, secluded, and planted over years: Colorado spruce, silver maple, plum, apple, crabapple, peach, and lilacs. Along the driveway, a permagarden of gooseberry, elderberry, currants, sage, tarragon, chives, and perennials is watered by swales that capture rainwater and direct it away from the house. A carport with added storage handles bikes, tools, and garden gear. Walk to Ideal Market, North Boulder Rec Center, Salberg Park, the Community Gardens, and Columbine Elementary. Come see how the light falls in the afternoon.
