"Why yes, I do live in an officially designed Historic Landmark," you'll say to your friends. No big deal. Meanwhile, in private, you can squeal with glee over this historic gem--likely one of Longmont's first homes. There's the wood floors, original to the 1885 house, and period accents such as elegant wood trim, a classic clawfoot tub, and a sun-dappled lot set back from the street. Yet rest assured, modern updates include new windows, furnace and A/C; a flagstone fireplace; a carriage house-turned-2-car-garage; and a kitchen with stainless appliances, granite and walk-in pantry. Entertain to your heart's delight, thanks to a formal dining room and landscaped backyard, where you can sit around and tell stories of the original owner, Eben White, Civil War veteran, stagecoach driver and insurance man. You'll make plenty of memories of your own, too, living in Old Town Longmont a couple of blocks from downtown, with its breweries, hip eateries, shops and access to public transportation.
