About This Home

As of June 2023

Welcome home to this charming early 1900's bungalow / cottage in Old Town Lafayette. As you drive down mature tree-lined streets you are welcomed to this home by an inviting front porch and towering shade trees. Come inside and you immediately notice the period correct detailing like original stained glass, trim work, light fixtures, unique nooks, and the overall charm of a historic home. Single-level easy living awaits you in this 3 bed/2 bath home. Buyers can take peace knowing the roof, gutters, sewer line, backyard fencing, and carpeting have all been replaced. The addition, completed in 2003, was thoughtfully designed, adding two bedrooms and one bath without compromising the scale and charm of this Old Town gem. Finally, head out in the backyard to a private oasis of mature trees and landscape with colorful flowers, raised garden beds, a garden shed, and a 1-car alley loaded garage, and even a doggie door leading to a fully fenced backyard for your furry best friend. The property is also zoned for an ADU. This is an amazing opportunity to own a home in the heart of Lafayette. Spend quiet afternoons on the porch greeting your friendly neighbors or take full advantage of this location and walk to everything. From this home you are just a few blocks from schools, shops, public art, coffee shops, breweries & restaurants. If you must leave, relax knowing your minutes from HYW 7 and I-25 with easy access to Denver and Boulder. This Lafayette location is perfect.
