837 Collyer Longmont, CO 80501

Rare opportunity to own this Victorian gem located in the charming historical Longmont community where the neighborhood makes this house a home. Wide, shady streets with sidewalks allow walking to the nearby city library, Main Street with shops, restaurants, and coffee shops, parks with playgrounds & schools. You can't help but fall in love with the historical character of this 1899 home including the cheerful exterior paint that matches the chicken coop and shed. The property has extensive gardens and is somewhat of an urban "homestead" - there is space for vegetable gardens, bees, chickens, and more; there are also dozens of fruit trees (apple, plum, cherry, apricot), berries (raspberry, strawberry, currant), wildflowers, and culinary herbs. Situated in the middle of this backyard oasis is a lovely flagstone patio with space for both dining and living sets and a grill. Grassy spaces in the shady back and sunny front yards are perfect for a hammock and ready for outdoor play. Inside, the home has been tastefully updated with modern conveniences that reflect the period including a vintage stove in perfect working condition, newly painted kitchen cabinets, newly refinished farmhouse sink, modern baths, including a Jack-n-Jill connecting two bedrooms, hardwood floors, a laundry chute, built-in cabinetry, space for a wood stove if desired, wood beams, 2 sunrooms - and so much more! Additional new updates include sod and mulch in the front yard, fresh interior paint touchups, re-glazed bath clawfoot tub, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer & dryer, backyard fence, and the cellar walls tuck, pointed and skim coated! This home has a historical connection having been owned for decades by the Kitely family, one of the original founders of Longmont - and now it's yours to part of its history.
