At nearly 100 years old, this time-tested Newlands gem on 4 lots shines more magnificently than ever. Enter through the majestic stone foyer into the high ceilinged living room, where it is said the original owner hosted formal dances! The newly refinished antique quarter-sawn oak floors gleam like new, & the stunning fireplace invites cozy gatherings. A 2016 kitchen remodel includes Bosch & Big Chill appliances, marble countertops, pantry space, slate floors & Flatiron views! The walkout lower level is a dream of a primary suite: remodeled in 2014, with a living/ recreation area, spacious bedroom, slate floors & incredible bathroom. Enormous closets keep your gear & memories organized. The heated/ cooled detached studio with 3/4 bath adds exceptional value for WFH or guests. The vast lawn is fully fenced for privacy, and the central location is walking distance to schools, dining, NoBo Rec Center, NoBo park, trails, shopping and more. You couldn't ask for a more iconic Boulder home.
