Be amazed by the unique design installations that truly set this home apart. Highlights include 9′ glass panels from an old New York City high rise, upcycled to serve as shower walls and sliding doors. Other features are living moss walls, a hanging bed, and two hanging love seats. The home also boasts recycled Parisian street lamps, sliding steel doors, steel floors, and recycled teak floors by Indoteak Design. The kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, stunning cabinetry, and a custom Edison bulb light fixture, turkish travertine and Italian stone slabs. Paying homage to Boulder’s western history are bullet and shotgun shell details, vintage buffalo nickels, and over 300 recycled Ralph Lauren and EcoDomo leather belts that adorn several walls and a headboard. As the sun sets and the fireplace glows listen to your favorite albums on the home’s custom sound system.This coveted West Pearl Street location is conveniently situated two blocks to popular Pearl Street Mall and some of Boulder’s best hiking trails.
