About this property

BEAUTIFUL 1 BEDROOM CONDO IN HISTORIC MAPLETON HILL 5 BLOCKS TO PEARL MALL

This is a fully furnished condo, located on Maxwell Avenue, which is just 5 blocks to the Pedestrian part of Pearl Street Mall. It has been completely upgraded from top to bottom with high end finishes and the entire condo has gorgeous hardwood floors..
We purchased and furnished this place as a home to stay in when we visit our daughter, son in law and grandchildren. It's perfectly located for people who may want to stay in Boulder a short while and do not want to bring a car. No car is really necessary here as most fun things are within walking distance or accessible by the famous Boulder Public Transportation. If you need to go further there is always Uber or Lyft. The condo is the perfect downtown luxury accommodation.
Entering the condo through the french door, there is a coat closet for storage on one side, as well as a bench with coat hooks above on the other side of the door. Sitting at this bench, you can kick off your boots or shoes, to let them dry out on bad weather days. For your convenience, a cooler as well as some folding chairs are stored in the entry closet in case you want to go to one of Boulder's many parks for a picnic. There are also two beach towels. Boulder Reservoir is just a few minutes drive away.
The condo has central heat and air conditioning controlled by an energy efficient thermostat. Energy efficient heating and cooling, combined with new windows and doors, qualified our unit under the City of Boulder Smart Regulations regarding energy compliance. So, indoors, it's nice and cool in the summer and cozy and warm in the winter months.
The kitchen has new granite counters, stainless appliances, and is furnished with all utensils and cookware, and small appliances such as toaster, blender, crock pot, instant pot, coffee maker and tea kettle. For dining, there is a counter height kitchen island from West Elm with a stainless counter top, that seats two people. In addition, there is a table with 4 chairs set up on the outdoor patio.
A walk in kitchen pantry is huge, with plenty of room for your food as well as an area to store cleaning products.
In the living room, the contemporary furnishings are fresh and comfortable . There is a smart tv , a modern stereo receiver, a DVD player, as well as a wireless modem and router for the high speed internet. The sound system runs through the house by built in speakers. Dim the lights while you watch television or Netflix, and enjoy the modern electric fireplace built in to the entertainment center.
In the hallway, there is a charging station for your phones and tablets.
The bathroom is totally upgraded. The exhaust fan and light are controlled by timer switches. There is also a Japanese style washlett/bidet, which even has a heated seat! The oversized mirror above the vanity doubles the amount of light in there. The wall under the showerhead in the bath has a tiled and mirrored niche for those who like to shave in the shower. The tub is enclosed with glass shower doors.
The bedroom is furnished with a Queen sized bed. The pillow top mattress was purchased new in January of 2017 and has a rattan headboard. The bedding is ultra soft and luxurious with high thread count sheets, and duvet covering the goose down comforter. On either side of the bed is a night table with handy electric plugs to keep your phone charging next to you.
In addition to the bed, the room is furnished with a small desk, and a work station with a printer and table. There is a small bench and dresser set by the closet. The space in front of the closet is large enough to make a comfortable dressing area. The bedroom closet is large and offers plenty of room to hang your clothes, and the dresser has 3 drawers for clothing. There is a blackout curtain for the window in case you prefer a darkened room for sleeping.
The condo complex has a community laundry room. Our unit's entrance is located in the locked and gated inner courtyard of the complex, and is facing west. Our private patio has a table and 4 chairs for you to sit and enjoy the air outdoors. There is also an electric BBQ grill on the patio which is used with a provided special electric cord when you wish to grill.
In addition to no smoking allowed in our unit, the HOA also prohibits smoking throughout the complex, including patios.
Covered parking for one car is off street in our deeded space in the community garage. If you prefer to park outside, we usually do not have any trouble finding a place to park on the street. Mapleton Hill parking is regulated by the City, and a NPP is required to leave your car more than 24 hours on Maxwell Avenue. However, one block north on Portland Place, there are no restrictions on street parking, so that's another option.
The HOA rules allow only 30 night minimum rentals. You will not be subject to the new Transient Occupancy Tax levied on rentals under 30 days, which is helpful. This is a perfect place for short term renters who are in Boulder temporarily for business, such as visiting nurses, or for grandparents visiting their children, as we do, or for someone who needs a place short term while they looking for a place to buy.
In our neighborhood, there is an Ideal Market 3 blocks away, as well as a nice wine and spirits store, bakery, a dry cleaners and laundromat, an ice cream store, and various other shopping. The Pearl Street Pedestrian Mall is just 5 blocks down hill, and the restaurant and bar scene there is a lot of fun. The trail head to Mount Sanitas is just west of us about six blocks away. About 4 blocks away is a beautiful park with picnic and playground facilities. The North Boulder Recreation Center is about 8 blocks north of us on Broadway. They have a wonderful swimming pool and recently upgraded the locker rooms. Day passes or multi passes are available. There is another community swimming pool on Spruce street in the Whittier neighborhood.
The Historic Mapleton Hill neighborhood is close to downtown, and within walking distance to most everything.
I would have no problem with a short term renter with a small child, but would advise you to take in to consideration that there is no barrier around the perimeter of the pool, which is just a few steps away from our front door. Due to this, I would not consider this a toddler friendly rental.
The quoted rate includes all the utilities, internet, water and trash removal. We also provide sheets and towel*s. As this is a self catering, furnished rental, laundering the sheets and towels during your stay would be your responsibility.
The community laundry room is conveniently located to our unit just across the courtyard.
Two bicycles are included, and there are helmets in the coat closet.
We require a damage deposit of $500.00 which will be refunded in full if the checkout requirements are met, and the condo returned to us in good, clean condition.

Maxwell Place Stay

This is a very well appointed and well stocked condo in a great location. Easy walkable access to Pearl St. Mall and Boulder trails. Easy access to other nearby shopping and restaurants. Pool was a wonderful surprise. Laundry on site was right by the pool and very close to the unit. Off-street reserved parking was necessary and a welcome benefit. Boulder is a wonderful place to visit and this was the perfect place for us.

Wonderful apartment in the best neighborhood

This apartment was ideal for a month-long stay in Boulder; it was equipped with everything one might need to feel comfortable and it's in an ideal spot for walking downtown or walking to a hike. The owner is incredibly communicative and sweet. I highly recommend this flat to everyone!

Condo was very clean and well-stocked. It was in a good location. The pool was convenient and never crowded. I did not like the street parking. I sometimes had to park too far from condo at night.

A beautiful Boulder stay

My partner and I spent a few months in Boulder working remotely this winter to take advantage of the incredible outdoor recreation that this area offers on the weekends. We were lucky enough to find Cynthia's place when we were looking to extend our original stay and we have thoroughly enjoyed our time in her home. It's clear that the place is so well cared for, it's incredibly comfortable, and in an excellent location to downtown Boulder. My partner and I both work long days and the WiFi and working setup was perfect for the two of us. The Mount Sanitas hike is within walking distance from the apartment, as were great coffee shops, we couldn't ask for anything more. The complex is very easy to access and street parking was simple. Cynthia was incredibly responsive and kind whenever we reached out and very thoughtful about how she could help us enjoy our stay even more. This apartment is truly a gem in Boulder if you're looking for an extended place to stay, and Cynthia is a pleasure to work with. Should we be back this way we would absolutely look to return. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Cozy, State of the art space & Exceptional Host

This was the most perfect place for my boyfriend and I to spend a few weeks in Boulder away from our home on the East coast. He was able to WFH on the desk in the bedroom and I was able to set up in the living room no-problem. the appliances are all great, and the location is just a few blocks from Pearl St. Cynthia was incredibly responsive if we had any questions and left plenty of supplies in the pantry including food, spices, a brita, shampoo (etc), laundry & dish detergent, garbage bags, etc, etc.. Our stay could not have been more perfect, thank you!

Perfect location, perfect condo

It's easy to see why Cynthia's place is always booked! It's easy walking distance to Pearl Street with its great shops and restaurants, biking to the Boulder Creek Path, and hiking in Mt Sanitas. The condo is gorgeous inside, the kitchen is well-appointed with all the appliances you need, and the pantry was stocked with many of the basics you don't always find (flour, sugar, coffee, some spices, a hardside cooler). There's even a cruiser bike on the patio and patio furniture that's comfortable & in good condition. Quarters were thoughtfully left for the washer/dryer that are just across the pool from the unit. We never had a problem finding parking on the street (even when they were doing ditch work). The Mapleton neighborhood is the most gorgeous in Boulder, and it's quiet. We loved just walking around the neighborhood looking at the beautiful million dollar homes. We couldn't have enjoyed our 1 month stay more!

Couldn't be in a better location

Had a wonderful stay in Boulder and this apartment was just fantastic. Quick walk into the main drag, easy access to nearby walking trails, nice comfortable furnishings and even came with a pool and courtesy bike. Stayed for a month, and honestly would have been very happy to have stayed longer. The apartment is well equipped with everything you might need, the internet was fast and reliable, the hot water/shower head in the shower was great. The bed mattress was softer than we would like, but was still very comfy. The apartment complex was relatively quiet and the neighbours (and cat) friendly. Definitely recommend, and if we come back to Boulder we would love to stay again.

wonderful apartment and location!

The apartment has everything you would need. A comfortable bed and linens, good space in the lounge area and kitchen, safe area with gated entrance and swimming pool for those hot days in Boulder. I was travelling on my own visiting relatives in Boulder and this was ideal for me. Just down the road on Broadway, there are buses taking you to different parts of town, or to the local Ideal Market for your food shopping. It is within walking distance to Pearl Street but in a quiet street away from tourists. The owners were quick to respond to a couple of questions and helpful in every way. The apartment is very comfortable and has air conditioning and a fan in the bedroom - was very helpful in the summer and made it that much more comfortable. The pool is an added bonus for summer as well and there is an outside sitting area which I used. The apartment was ideal for me and I would definitely stay here again. A wonderful experience - thanks Cynthia !

This condo was in the perfect location for everything...whole foods, restaurants, pharmacy, medical care, and Pearl Street were all a short walk. I did not have a car, and managed perfectly! The condo itself is very well equipped with everything needed, it was clean, very comfortable and welcoming. The complex is small and quiet. The laundry room worked great, just a quick walk across the courtyard. There were no negatives at this place! Thanks for making this available for me during my transition to the area.

A stylish oasis in heart of downtown Boulder

This apartment is as perfect as the photos suggest. My husband and I stayed there from mid-Oct to mid-Nov. while visiting our daughter and grandchildren. It is attractive and comfortable, with thoughtful details like a blackout curtain and humidifier in the bedroom, well-placed reading lights throughout, ceiling speakers in several areas, and a cozy throw on the sofa. The contemporary furnishings are fresh and clean—as is everything in the apartment—as well as tasteful and functional; the kitchen is efficient with nearly new appliances and a handy pantry. We loved the high top dining table and appreciated the spotlight overhead for reading. The small bathroom is modern, immaculate, has sufficient storage, good towels, and a heat lamp though better lighting would help with make-up. The bedroom decor has wonderful Asian accents, a soothing gray color scheme on the bedding and a well-appointed corner desk. Plenty of hanging space in the closet nearly makes up for the limited drawer space. The bed is comfortable and the comforter is just the right weight. We enjoyed sitting on the patio on warm days and cozying up to the electric fireplace on cold days. The heat and a/c were quiet and the temperature inside was always comfortable. The apartment complex is quiet and the residents friendly. Cynthia was available by phone and email almost instantly to answer questions and her daughter and son-in-law, who live nearby, were delightful guides to the mysteries of the TV settings. The location is perfect for walking to both the local shopping plaza -with many stores including a Whole Foods and a dry cleaner—two blocks away; or the four blocks (slightly uphill on the way back) to shops and many excellent restaurants on the amazing Pearl Street Mall. The residential neighborhood is delightful for walks and it is not far to the trails on Mt. Salinas. It is also a short drive to the excellent public library and to Chautauqua and Encar. The new parking garage will be a good addition as street parking took some planning. This small apartment is ideal for one or two, is lovely to be in and is superbly located. We would gladly stay here again.

Great experience

No hesitation giving 5 stars. This is a very nice small apartment within walking distance of pearl street. One thing that stands out is the owners have thought of everything. It's tastefully and comfortably furnished, and has all the utensils and appliances you'll need. The owners are also very responsive; we stayed for 6 weeks and had one small issue with the air conditioner. I called Cynthia, and she had someone out to repair it the next day. You'll also have access to a pool and a small outdoor patio with an electric grill. Great experience overall.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Orr

Host profile image
We bought this condo so we had our own place to stay when we come to Boulder to visit our daughter and son in law, as well as a place to stay during the ski season.
Eric is a third generation Colorado man, whose family settled in the Denver area in 1872. He attended the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and is currently a General Surgeon in San Diego. All the photographs displayed in the condo are taken by Eric over the years.
Cynthia taught middle school Science in the Cherry Creek School District for many years, and now manages rental property for the family.

Why they chose this property

The location is central to everything in Boulder. We are just 5 blocks to the pedestrian part of Pearl Street.
In addition, we really liked the complex when we first saw it. The residents are quiet, respectful, and actively work to keep the complex peaceful.

What makes this property unique

The location, the location, the location. We like being able to walk to everything, and we love the Mapleton Hill neighborhood with all the ancient trees, and beautiful old homes. There is a fantastic park just blocks away where you can picnic or bring your kids to a playground, or just enjoy the day. During the winter, people go there to cross country ski. There is something for everyone, year round.
