This historic Old Town Longmont home is a seamless fusion of 1872 elegance and modern luxuries. Its inviting front porch faces Thompson Park and is conveniently located across from Central Elementary. With robust 3-layer brick walls and Greek revival columns, this architectural gem offers six bedrooms. The grand foyer welcomes you with intricate woodwork leading to a cozy parlor with a built-in bench and fireplace while the adjacent music room features charming double pocket doors. The beautiful dining room features a custom built-in buffet with leaded glass while the adjoining butler's pantry and gourmet kitchen boast Spanish marble countertops, French-imported cabinet pulls, high-end appliances, a double oven, and six burners. Relax on the amazing screened-in porch overlooking the backyard. Venture outside to discover a deep and private lot with an expansive backyard, home to over 30 rose bushes, a beautiful 75-year-old healthy Elm tree, and a quaint herb garden just off the back porch. An inviting outdoor fireplace is situated next to the well-maintained original coach house that offers endless possibilities from conversion into an ADU to functioning as a garage, workshop, or artist's retreat. Modern comforts include a new roof, vents, gutters, fully updated electrical and plumbing, and a new sprinkler system. Original elements like push-button light switches with dimmers, a soaking tub, and a soapstone sink in the updated laundry room have been lovingly preserved. The basement offers a garden-level walkout and a bonus room with original shiplap, while other amenities feature a functional dumbwaiter and an extra 220 power outlet in the coal room. From its 12-inch hand-cut baseboards to the ornate door handles, fireplaces, and fixtures, this home is a living testament to both artistry and craftsmanship. This property presents a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully modernized piece of history in one of Longmont's most coveted locations.
