Location, location, location. In the heart of downtown Boulder's coveted Whittier neighborhood-just steps to Pearl Street-this iconic 1900 home offers an extraordinary blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and proven income potential. Remarkably, the next stewards will be only the fifth owners in 126 years. Elegant curb appeal and a welcoming front porch set the tone. Inside, a wide foyer showcases original old-growth Douglas fir floors, the preserved front door, and the stunning original staircase. Thoughtfully renovated to create expansive, light-filled spaces, the home seamlessly marries timeless character with modern updates. Large family room features 9ft ceilings, abundant natural light, and a cozy corner gas fireplace. Exposed beams and historic brick anchor the chef's kitchen, complete with Wedgewood cabinetry, generous counter space, and high-end appliances. Open kitchen and dining areas create the perfect gathering space for entertaining. An airy sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooks a bucolic backyard retreat centered around a 100-year-old apple tree-ideal as a home office, gym, or potential non-conforming 4th bedroom. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each offer ensuite baths and private balconies. Primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a large deck with iconic Flatirons views. Walkout lower level delivers exceptional flexibility w/own private entrance, kitchenette, living area, double-sided fireplace, and separate sleeping spaces. Ideal for multi-generational or as a turnkey Airbnb/VRBO, this licensed rental has operated for 19 years, generating over $1.2M in revenue (averaging $70K annually) and earning 1,000+ five-star reviews. Two covered porches with Flatirons views, a one-car rental garage, whole-house cooling fan, and integrated 30-speaker sound system complete this impeccably maintained property. A rare opportunity to own a true Boulder legacy-offering character, flexibility, income, and unmatched walkability. Let's Get You Home!
