Light, Luxury & Flexibility in the Heart of Boulder

Welcome to 880 Gilpin Drive! A tri-level home completely reimagined by its current owners into a modern, light-filled retreat that captures the essence of Boulder living. Every detail, from the structural improvements to the smallest finish, reflects care, quality, and design intention.

The main level opens to a sun drenched great room, where oversized windows frame mature trees, gardens, and mountain views. A wood burning fireplace with custom floating shelves sets a warm, modern tone and flows naturally into the dining area and chef’s kitchen. Designed for both beauty and function, the kitchen was part of a full 2018 renovation that added quartz waterfall countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a view over the backyard — making cooking feel connected to nature.

Upstairs, two tranquil bedrooms share a designer remodeled bath, while the primary bedroom enjoys mountain views and soft morning light. Descend into the daylight lower level, where two bright bedrooms open to natural light. Furnish one as a bedroom; the other as a sophisticated home office with a custom Murphy bed, or transform as needed. This level hosts a bathroom, laundry, and provides flexible space for media, gym, or creative endeavors. Hardwood floors added throughout unify the home with warmth and continuity.

Over the years, the owners have continued to elevate every element: new roof, furnace, A/C, and water heater; updated electrical and outlets; new doors, blinds, shelving, and refinished hardwoods throughout.

Outdoors, Boulder’s lifestyle shines. A nearly 50-foot patio, custom shed (built 2021 and convertible to office or studio), sprinkler - fed garden beds, and lush, Organolawn maintained landscaping create a true backyard retreat. RV parking, fenced yard, and ample storage in the shed, garage, and crawl space add rare utility.

Set within the top rated Boulder Valley School District and just minutes from CU Boulder, parks, trails, and Pearl Street’s shops and cafés, this home blends design integrity, location, and livability in one seamless package.
