Charming Craftsman in the heart of Chautauqua. Enjoy effortless trail access and elevated views down onto the plains. Chautauqua is widely regarded as one of Boulder's finest neighborhoods - a peaceful enclave characterized by its tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and an enduring sense of community. Here, homes are thoughtfully spaced, offering a sense of privacy and calm that sets the area apart from denser parts of the city. Despite its tranquil setting, the neighborhood boasts a remarkably central location, placing residents just minutes from downtown Boulder, top-rated schools, restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions. Residents often enjoy a short stroll to the historic Chautauqua Dining Hall - a welcoming place to gather with friends and neighbors over a relaxed meal or morning coffee. Just beyond, the Chautauqua Auditorium hosts a rich calendar of concerts, lectures, and seasonal community events. The home at 1380 Bluebell has undergone a series of thoughtful enhancements. Among the many upgrades are a high-efficiency six-zone radiant heating system for optimal comfort during cooler months, as well as dual air conditioning units with separate compressors. Sustainability-minded buyers will appreciate the owner-owned photovoltaic (PV) solar array system, significantly reducing energy costs while supporting a green lifestyle. Also, look for the water feature out back! Inside, three gas fireplaces add warmth and ambiance to key living areas. The gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances, including a professional-grade Wolf oven. Additional modern touches include a ChargePoint electric vehicle charging station, and a fully updated garage with brand new epoxy flooring, perfect for both storage and vehicle care. With its blend of timeless charm, updated systems, and a premier Boulder location, 1380 Bluebell Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a home that truly has it all - comfort, character, convenience, and community.
