Welcome to 3490 16th St, a fully renovated gem on a corner lot in the desirable Melody Heights area of Central/North Boulder. This home is positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac and offers an open flow with distinct, separate spaces that provide a sunny and bright atmosphere. The southern sun streams into the home, highlighting the warmth and charm throughout. Enjoy the scenic views of South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak, and the Flatirons from your private balcony off the primary suite. The inviting front porch and back decks are complemented by a new modern horizontal fence and new low-water native plant landscaping with a dry riverbed, blooming from spring into fall. The outdoor space is designed for entertaining, featuring a gas hook-up for the grill - no propane tanks needed, and a hot tub surrounded by mature trees for privacy. The home boasts a spacious designer kitchen with a 36" Thermador induction stove, Cafe double wall oven, instant hot water, and an eat-in kitchen nook. The elegance continues with oak flooring throughout the main and upper levels, while the basement offers a spacious rec room with space for foosball or ping pong, additional storage, and cozy carpeting. Modern updates include a new air conditioner and furnace (five years old), a furnace humidifier to maintain comfort during the winter, and a minisplit in the primary suite for energy efficiency. The home also features three beautifully remodeled bathrooms, one on each level. Convenience is at your doorstep with a two-car garage and a prime location just one block from the bike path to NBRC and downtown. Two nearby parks, Melody and Catalpa, add to the neighborhood's appeal. This home is a rare find in Boulder, blending modern elegance with the comfort of a welcoming sanctuary.
