Iconic Mapleton Hill Residence Marries Historic Elegance with Modern Luxury
Poised gracefully in the heart of Boulder’s most coveted neighborhood, the 1903 Moorhead House stands as a rare architectural jewel — a home that embodies over a century of Mapleton Hill history, reimagined with exquisite craftsmanship and timeless sophistication. Behind its storied façade lies a stunning fusion of heritage and modern design, where every detail has been meticulously considered to create a living experience that feels both luxurious and deeply rooted in Boulder’s character.
“This is one of Mapleton Hill’s most iconic, unique, and beautiful homes,” says listing broker Tim Goodacre of milehimodern. “The remarkable, extremely high-end remodel showcases extraordinary, thoughtful craftsmanship that honors its history while elevating every modern comfort.”
Fully renovated just three years ago, this storied residence captures the enduring grace of its 1903 origins while embracing a design-forward aesthetic. Exquisite details include crystal chandeliers, French doors, oak floors, intricate woodwork, and custom built-ins — each element thoughtfully restored or reimagined to balance heritage with sophistication.
Natural light fills the home through large corner windows, highlighting a sense of openness and warmth throughout. Outside, the south-facing front porch offers a serene space for quiet mornings and golden-hour evenings overlooking lush gardens, while a private shaded brick patio off the kitchen sets the scene for al fresco dining beneath mature trees.
Perched gracefully on a hill, the home enjoys leafy views in spring, summer, and fall — and sweeping Flatiron vistas come winter, where elegance, light, and location converge.
The property features four bedrooms — each fitted for a king-size bed — along with two offices, ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. A rare, large and remodeled oversized 2-car garage and an additional 2-car pad further enhances the property’s functionality and appeal.
“The garage itself is a rarity in this historic neighborhood — large, remodeled, and beautifully integrated into the property’s design,” adds Goodacre.
Located in the heart of Boulder’s cherished Mapleton neighborhood, the Moorhead House is just blocks from beloved cafés, Lolita’s Market, boutique wine shops, celebrated restaurants, and the Sanitas Trailhead — offering a seamless blend of historic character, modern luxury, and quintessential Boulder living. The home is listed at $5,500,000 and represented by Tim Goodacre of milehimodern.
