A Quiet, Established Longmont Neighborhood
This home sits in a quiet, friendly Longmont neighborhood shaded by mature trees, the kind of established setting that reflects decades of pride of ownership throughout the block. Longmont continues to be one of the more accessible entry points into the broader Boulder County real estate market, offering a strong sense of community, a walkable downtown core, and quick access to both Boulder and the northern Front Range via Highway 119 and I-25. For buyers who want the character of an established neighborhood without the price premium of some of Boulder County's more central communities, Longmont remains a consistently strong option.
Thoughtful Updates Throughout
What sets this home apart from a typical resale property is the sheer number of recent updates completed by its owners. From the refreshed kitchen with its motion-activated lighting to the newly carpeted living room and updated bathroom, buyers are getting a home that has already had its major refresh items addressed. Combined with a newer roof, this is a property where a buyer's first months of ownership can be about settling in, not tackling a lengthy repair list.
A Layout That Makes the Most of Every Square Foot
At 2,082 total square feet including the finished basement, this cottage is designed to feel efficient without feeling small. The open floor plan on the main level keeps the kitchen, living, and dining spaces connected, while each of the two bedrooms offers the practical benefit of a walk-in closet, a detail not always found in homes of this era. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a genuine bonus room for a home office, media space, or workout area, along with dedicated laundry and ample storage.
Schools Serving This Address
This property falls within the St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1J, with Central Elementary, Westview Middle School, and Longmont High School as the assigned schools. As always, families should confirm current attendance boundaries directly with the district before making a decision based on school assignment.
What to Know Before You Tour
A few practical notes for buyers considering this Longmont home:
- This property does not have an HOA, giving buyers flexibility but also full responsibility for exterior maintenance and any future changes to the home.
- The garage was originally configured as a two-car garage and is now used as an oversized one-car space, which buyers may want to explore further if additional covered parking is a priority.
- Buyers should still plan for a standard professional home inspection as part of the purchase process, even with the numerous recent updates already completed.
Questions about financing, taxes, or legal matters tied to a purchase like this one are best directed to a mortgage lender, tax professional, or real estate attorney. The Bernardi Group can help connect buyers with trusted local professionals.
