1005 3rd Ave

Step inside 1005 3rd Street and you will instantly know this is a rare jewel of a property with historic significance. Located in the popular West Side neighborhood of Old Town Longmont, a fabulous neighborhood a block from Thompson Park and walkable to the locals favorite, West Side Tavern. A historical landmark property in the craftsman's style, this turn of the 20th century classic features warm oak tones and a grand staircase. The leaded glass door into the dining room is a luxurious touch to the oak trims and massive windows. Off the bright and sunny kitchen, the breakfast nook was considered a modern innovation for a Victorian era home that created more connection to food preparation in its day. Also off the kitchen is a lovely patio where you can take in the Foothills and Longs Peak! The lovingly maintained home features 3 bedrooms on the second-floor and two full baths, with a bonus attic that has been converted to fantastic project space. The garden level has additional bedroom options and a full bath as well as a kitchenette and is able to be closed off, making it an ideal guest apartment or potentially an income source. From the lower level's sunny yoga room, the french doors open to a grassy backyard with a covered patio and wonderful yard. As a corner lot, the yard is quite spacious with a vegetable garden with a raspberry patch complimented by stone walking paths. There are beautiful rose gardens with native and drought tolerant plants. This home's location could not be better - walkable or bikeable to Old Town Longmont's shops, cafes/restaurants, quick drive to the convenience of Whole Foods and the Village at the Peaks shopping plaza with a movie theater, restaurants, and shops, and only a 20 minute drive to the heart of Boulder and all it's amenities.This home is steeped in history and comes with an oral tradition that has dubbed it "the house that love built," having been built by the owner of the brickyards as a wedding gift to his daughter.
