Welcome to your fantastic opportunity to own a modern luxury home and a spacious, stylish CARRIAGE HOUSE in Old Town Niwot. The property features 2 Full Gourmet Kitchens and is like buying two homes in one with incredible spaces offering ultimate flexibility for living, working, home business, entertaining, or investment uses. The main house entry is conveniently located on 3rd Avenue. In contrast, the carriage house entrance can be accessed from the commercial district alley, creating a unique blend of residential & retail space. The location of this property is truly unbeatable. Find yourself steps away from charming coffee shops & restaurants, with all the downtown amenities within easy reach. MAIN HOUSE: This architecturally designed Mid-Century Modern property exudes understated elegance. The bright & open floor plan seamlessly integrates indoor & outdoor spaces, thanks to the large windows that flood the home with natural light. Every detail has been noticed in the high-end designer custom finishes: solid wood doors & trim, radiant heating in the floors, luxury vinyl plank floors, gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, upgraded appliances, Cambria counters, & marble backsplash are just a few of the exquisite features that make this home wonderful. All bathrooms in the home are stunning & showcase the same attention to detail. The cabled railing on the staircase adds a modern & sleek touch. The lower level of this home offers flexible spaces to suit the needs of the homeowners. CARRIAGE HOUSE, spanning 1400 sq. ft., features a designer 3/4 bath, 20 ft. ceilings, French doors, ample windows, and exposed beams and is reminiscent of a NYC loft. The gourmet kitchen in the center of the space has White Calcutta Quartz counters and high-end appliances. This space is perfect for recreational, business, additional living space for extended family, or the opportunity to generate rental income.
