About 541 Arapahoe Avenue

This rare-find downtown dream location spans both banks of Boulder Creek while being easily walkable to Pearl Street Mall's vibrant dining and shops, the best foothills trails, top-rated schools, and CU Boulder campus, with instant access to Boulder's extensive bikepath network.The expansive 4,000 sq. ft. 5 bedroom home blends old Boulder with new Boulder, offering a high-ceilinged foyer and dining-parlor great room featuring stunningly restored elegant Victorian woodwork graced by an antique Bavarian crystal chandelier. This connects to a professional chef's kitchen, complete with pro-grade appliances, premium countertops, an open layout ideal for cooking and hosting, including a guest bathroom with a steam shower. The main level then continues into a second dining area with a sunlit family room that leads outside to four unique outdoor entertainment areas flowing down to your own private landing on Boulder Creek. The tree-filled backyard vista and access to the creek frontage present a rare and relaxing downtown nature experience. The upstairs features a master bath with a large spa tub, and a large master bedroom with a spacious walk-in closet opening to a child's bedroom or office / yoga room. The master bedroom also opens to a large house-width balcony enclosed by large trees for privacy with a "forest" feel. A second en-suite bedroom offers full frame sunset-over-the-foothills views. Classified as a "duplex/triplex", the home also includes a spacious, light-filled, private-entrance one-bedroom basement apartment-ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income. A second private entrance leads to a studio apartment on the main level that opens to the family room and main kitchen.
