Beautiful spacious home in heart of Boulder

"Wonderful family celebration. Our family of 5 adults, 4 teens, and a 9 yo had a wonderful celebration of my 80th birthday in this beautiful home. The kitchen and large dining table comfortably accommodated a dinner group of 15 people. We enjoyed the backyard and hot tub. We also enjoyed hanging out on the huge front patio where we met friendly neighbors. The street is quiet and lined with lovely trees. The location was accessible to Pearl St and the UC campus. Thank you Jeff for sharing your beautiful home."
