601 Chautauqua Park

Description

A front-row seat to Boulder at its very best. For more than a century, Chautauqua has been where Boulder gathers. Summer concerts under the stars, breakfast at the Dining Hall, afternoon hikes beneath the Flatirons, evenings on the porch, and a pace of life that feels increasingly rare. Few addresses capture the essence of Boulder more completely. The magic here isn't simply the cottage itself, but the life that unfolds around it. Coffee and blueberry waffles on the porch. A short stroll to dinner. Music drifting through the summer air. Trailheads leading into thousands of acres of protected open space. The Flatirons fill your view and remind you every day why people come to Boulder and never leave. One of the property's most unusual features is the land itself. While many Chautauqua cottages occupy compact sites, this home enjoys an exceptionally generous lot, 3 off-street parking spots, apple trees, and a native stone patio positioned to capture sweeping Flatiron views. It's the kind of setting that allows the home to live far larger outdoors than its square footage would suggest, creating outdoor gathering spaces rarely found in Chautauqua. Inside, the one-level cottage has been totally rebuilt from the inside out, preserving historic features while providing modern conveniences. Warm oak floors, abundant natural light, inviting living spaces, a bright kitchen with granite counters and dining area, two bedrooms connected by a renovated bath, a private primary retreat, charming soaking tub preserve the home's character while embracing modern comfort. The extensive renovation by architect Kristin Lewis included updated heating and cooling systems, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure. Irrigation, EV-ready service, attic storage, and rare off-street parking for 3 vehicles. Sun room maintained as a 3 season finished area. Opportunities to own within Chautauqua's National Historic Landmark are rare, with this much outdoor living, this much privacy, Flations views.
