About this property

North Boulder Park Retreat with Concrete, Metal and Light

This North Boulder Park Retreat (Rental License # RHL-0182278) will delight you right away. Last rented out in 2015 and 2018, it is ready for guests starting July 1, 2025. Walk in and discover a space completely unexpected from the Yellow Front Door. The use of Brazilian Cherry Hardwoods, Metal, Concrete, Color, Light and Angular Motion create a home that was designed with entertainment in mind. I invite you into my home....

Designed by renowned Tres Birds Workshop this custom remodel located in the Newlands neighborhood features an open floor plan, abundant staircase, natural light, decks, outdoor space and stellar location within steps of North Boulder Park, two blocks to Mount Sanitas Trailhead, 2 blocks to Ideal Market Shopping Center and 1/4 mile to Pearl Street Mall. The Kitchen is the fun focal point of the home with the concrete countertops, main deck and high ceilings. It is equipped with everything you need to cook, bake, make a coffee or just pour a glass of wine. There are four Design Within Reach bar stools for making conversations last into the night. The Design Within Reach dining table and chairs seats six people comfortably and has access to the main deck. The Primary Bedroom En-Suite is just off the Kitchen beyond the heavy sliding door and has spectacular views of the landscaping. The deck is the perfect place for a morning coffee to start the day. The full bathroom features a huge tub for soaking and relaxing. You'll find the funky-designed powder room on the main level too. Down the beautiful stairway is another open floor plan featuring the living room with Cable TV, couch, two swivel chairs and plenty of blankets for getting cozy. Just off the living room is the 2nd Bedroom with egress window and the 3/4 bathroom with shower just down the hall. The separation of space between the Primary and 2nd Bedroom make it comfortable for separate parties. There is an office set up in the 3rd non-conforming Bedroom with an Eames Executive Chair and a great view of the back yard for creativity and productivity to flow. The cool mudroom with enormous window welcomes you from the North side of the property once you’ve parked in the carport or driveway. The outdoor oasis with cherry trees, pines and flowers creates a comfortable backdrop for conversations and to enjoy the incredible Boulder climate. North Boulder Park is just down the driveway.

BEDROOMS:
PLEASE NOTE: This is a 4-bedroom house but only TWO BEDROOMS ARE SET UP WITH QUEEN BEDS. There is also a queen blow-up bed and extra linens/pillows/towels to use in case you need them that can be set up in the office space so technically the home can sleep six people.

PRIMARY BEDROOM EN-SUITE on Main Level with Queen Bed with Brooklinen or Parachute sheets, light cotton blanket, Anthropologie duvet cover & Alternative to Goose Down Comforter. Private Deck with beautiful views of the landscaping and two chairs/table. Walk-in Closet with hangers and shelving. En-suite Primary Bathroom with huge tub. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, hairdryer, cotton balls, some toilet paper, fan and extra pillow provided.

2nd BEDROOM on the Lower Level is down the open stairway with Queen Bed with Brooklinen or Parachute sheets, light cotton blanket, Anthropologie Duvet Cover and Alternative to Goose Down Comforter. There is an egress window and closet with hangers. The temperature is much cooler in this room than the Primary Bedroom during the Summer months. This 2nd bedroom is separate from the Primary Bedroom and feels like its own space. The 3/4 Bathroom with Shower is a few steps down the hall. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, hairdryer, cotton balls, some toilet paper, fan and extra pillow provided.

3rd NON-CONFORMING BEDROOM/OFFICE (non-conforming because it doesn’t have a door) is on the Lower Level and is set up as an office with a built-in desk repurposed from a bowling alley with a comfortable bright green Eames Executive Chair. There is a great view of the backyard from the desk. No Bed is set up in here but the space is big enough for the Queen-sized blow-up bed to be set up. Extra linens, pillows and towels provided.

4th BEDROOM on Main Level is not accessible and used as owner storage. No Bed is set up in here.

FREE & SECURE WIFI.

CABLE TV.

OUTDOOR ACCESS: Outdoor table and chairs on both the Main Deck, Primary Bedroom Deck, under the arbor and in the carport area give you the opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous Colorado climate. The flowers in the planters on the carport are only for you to enjoy from the decks or the backyard. There is no access to them. The advantages of having an incredible open space steps away is that we share the space with the roaming wildlife. (We have Bear-Proof Trash Cans!)

PARKING: There is parking on Alpine Avenue and there is plenty of parking in the long driveway on the North side of the home. There is space for one car in the carport. The metal gate will be stay open throughout your stay.

STELLAR LOCATION:
- The Newlands neighborhood
- Two blocks to neighborhood shopping center that includes grocery store (Ideal Market which is a Whole Foods), Pharmacy, Liquor Store, Tea and Coffee Shops, Bagel Shop, Bakery with Salads, Soups and Sandwiches, New-York Style Pizza, Take-Out BBQ, Gift Shop, Laundromat, a New Mexican restaurant, Hair Salon and more.
- Steps from the SW corner of North Boulder Park, away from the park parking area and playground located on the NW corner.
- Two blocks to Mt. Sanitas trails for awesome hiking, jogging and strolling.
- 1/4 mile to the Pearl Street Mall, Boulder’s main entertainment destination for world-class restaurants, bars, retail shops, coffee shops and so much more. It is a walking outdoor mall with no drive-through traffic on the bricked portion. Many fun community events are held here.

WASHER & DRYER: Available in the laundry room and can be used by guests. Some laundry detergent will be provided.

COOLING & HEATING:
Cooling is provided by an Evaporative Cooler that cools the house nicely by pulling in fresh air from the outside. It operates differently than Central A/C but works just as well to cool down the home. There are additional fans in each room. Heating is provided by a Boiler and runs through baseboards.

Fabulous Boulder retreat

This beautiful modern home is as wonderful and elegant as the reviews make it sound. Niki and her property manager were very easy to communicate with and super responsive. The location is really great which makes it easy to get to everything. Two families were staying for CU Boulder family weekend and it made for a wonderful home base. We would definitely stay again in the future!

Great location in Boulder

The house is as advertised. Great neighborhood. Right next to a park. Walk to groceries, restaurants, coffee, ice cream, etc. Easy in and out. Well-stocked kitchen. Short drive to Pearl Street and CU. Family of 3 and we had a great time.

Wonderful in every way

The house was great and left nothing to be desired. Modern, comfortable, and chic, it is perfectly situated within walking distance, but away from the noise of, Pearl Street. Easy access to the North Boulder Recreational Center was a plus. We chose not to rent a car and either walked or Ubered everywhere and it worked out great. We will be back!!!

Beautiful house, fully stocked

This house is as pretty as the pictures show. It is comfortable and sits right beside a large park. It came stocked with such things as coffee, spices and shampoo. That was a great surprise. The owner was readily available by phone and sent us clear directions for how to access the unit, local amenities, and answered all our questions. I note that there are two bedrooms with beds and the third is an office space where the air mattress can go. The neighborhood is quiet. A very nice rental!

Absolutely Beautiful Home!!!

We had a wonderful stay in Boulder and this house made it even better! Nikki was a great host and she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay!

A terrific house with great outdoor spaces, a convenient central location and a great host!

Niki was a terrific host. Lots of easy communication, a warm welcome note upon arrival and helpful throughout our stay. The house is terrific. The outdoor space makes it very comfortable with lots of room to relax. The location is perfect providing an easy walk to Pearl Street and a collection of restaurants and stores a few blocks down from the house at the end of the street. I would highly recommend Niki’s house to visitors to Boulder. A+!!

Architectural Marvel with everything needed

The home was more than expected. upon arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine, and a wonderful note, which started the vacation on an high note. The house is an Architectural Marvel, being engineers & architects, we were impressed with the attention to detail in the design elements throughout. The setting could not have been better for Thanksgiving with the snowfall and mountain views. While the gardens were beautiful with the snow, would intend to come back and stay when they are in full bloom. let us not forget the well stocked gourmet kitchen, with all appliances, cookware, and utensils one would need to prepare a feast for many. Then for the overall entertainment the sound system is superb, and the TV with secondary sound system was perfect for the football games, and family movies. If you are planning a trip to Boulder, staying at this house is as essential as visiting Pearl Street or going to the mountains.

Everything as Advertised ad More

This home is just as nice and contemporary and clean as the pictures suggest. The location is very close to the Ideal Market plaza and the Sanitas Trails yet still close enough to Pearl that we walked home from there one night just for fun. We hope to stay again. My only suggestion would be to add a microwave. Even a small cheap one that stayed in a closet would have been helpful for my daughter to reheat some leftovers. But that is immaterial, the house is wonderful.

Great place to stay in Boulder, I'll stay again!

I was not disappointed with this home at all. The location is perfect, and the home is beautiful, clean, sexy. Great for our family vacation. The home was big enough so everyone had their own space. We loved the design and layout of home. Great walk to Pearl Street, parks, and more. Neighborhood felt safe. Also we loved the entertainment music system. Even the outside of home was a nice place to sit and relax. We liked that this home didn't have owners personal items. I was not let down, and will for sure stay again. Last but not least, the home owner was pleasant to deal with.

Beautiful modern home close to everything Boulder has to offer!

Our family rented the home for a month during summer 2015. We were very pleased and had a wonderful stay. The home is clean, beautiful, and perfectly positioned in Boulder. Most days we had deer in the front and back yard and it is a delight to be a few blocks from Mt Sanitas and across from the park. The owners were very attentive and responsive. We highly recommend this home as a perfect choice for visiting Boulder.

Beautiful modern home in amazing location

we had the pleasure of staying at Niki's house for a couple of weeks. We have been coming to Boulder for a while and this rental certainly is one of the best ones we have experienced. The house is located across from the north Boulder park which was great for our family and walking distance to trails. It is a 4 minute drive to pearl street and downtown. The house is modern and clean and uncluttered. Well equipped kitchen for serious cooking. We will definitely be coming back !

Loved our stay

We stayed for 5 nights and loved it! As a boulder Native, it was so great to stay in this part of town. The location is perfect! Close to Vic's coffee shop, groceries and beautiful North Boulder park. It's also very close to Pearl street. The house is clean fresh and modern! The new architecture is really cool, (however, not the easiest for a pregnant woman to chase a toddler around, but I knew that going into it) and the house amenities were lovely and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and felt like we were in a luxury rental, not someone's used and abused house.

Great place, perfect location

We stayed for 5 nights and were very happy with the house and amenities. It's right on North Boulder Park, an arms length to groceries, Vics coffee and some cute shops and a very short drive to Pearl and the rest of Boulder. I grew up in Boulder and can honestly say that most houses have an "earthy-lived-in feel" (to be nice) this gem is a refreshing Modern clean space with beautiful views and cozy spaces. It was a bit more work to manage our toddler with the stairs, but we were able to maneuver around it.

About the host

Hosted by Niki Mattioli

Host profile image
I have been a Licensed Colorado Real Estate Broker for the past 23 years helping clients accomplish their dream of living in the beautiful foothills of Boulder, Colorado. I moved here straight after college to ski in Vail, CO for a couple of winters and never left the bounty of the outdoors and the sunshine. Boulder's extensive biking trail systems that take you to every corner of this City is one of the perks that lured me in. As a world traveler, I have experienced many different cultures and love getting to know people from all over the world. I speak fluent Italian having grown up with Italian parents and have an eye for the modern, sleek and unique.

Why they chose this property

This home sits on an over-sized lot with an ideal North - South configuration that allows windows to capture views of The Flatirons, Mount Sanitas and North Boulder Park.
This was originally a ranch-style home with a walk-out apartment built in the 1950's.

What makes this property unique

This home is truly a unique property. Remodeled and designed by Tres Birds Workshop in 2005, the angles, materials, colors and space all add up to making this vacation home one to remember.
