Welcome to this rare and stunning modern luxury home and detached studio located in the heart of Old Town Niwot!

This architect-designed Mid-Century Modern property has been completely rebuilt since 2001 with three recent major remodels, ensuring that it exudes timeless elegance and offers high-quality finishes throughout.

The main house features an open floor plan on the first level, with clean lines, muted tones, and large glass windows that seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces. As you enter through the front composite deck and merlot-colored stucco exterior, you'll be greeted by a full-light solid maple door and a sense of modern luxury. The first floor boasts solid oak doors and trim, luxury Vinyl Plank "Dockside" floors, sleek recessed dimmable lighting, and radiant floor heating. The kitchen remodeled less than five years ago, is a true centerpiece with its skylight, soft-close drawer cabinets, multi-dimmable lighting zones, marble backsplash, and high-end appliances, including a professional gas Thermador Range and dishwasher. The Cambria "Britannica" luxury countertops and oversized kitchen counter provide ample space for gathering and entertaining. The master bedroom on the main floor features a skylight, maple floor, large closets, and a modern vanity. The main floor also offers an optional step-down living room or nonconforming bedroom with a full closet, a Cararra Marble and iridescent glass full bathroom, a separate laundry/utility room with additional storage, and an open modern cable railing that leads to the lower level suite with a separate exterior entrance.

Inspired by the W Hotel, the lower level suite offers a bedroom with an egress window and closet, a designer vanity and bathtub in the full bathroom, a library/office room with built-in wall shelving, and a storage room or office adjacent to the furnace room. This space could easily be used as a short-term rental with its separate entrance.

The detached studio, spanning 1400 sq. ft., is a versatile space perfect for a gallery, fitness studio, home business, culinary venture, or entertaining space. Originally converted to residential use in 2004 and updated in 2019, this studio features 20 ft. ceilings, French doors, ample windows, exposed beams, and a wood tongue and groove ceiling. The space is entirely open and spacious, reminiscent of a NYC loft. The ultra-modern grey designer tile full bathroom with a waterfall shower adds a luxurious touch. At the same time, the gourmet kitchen in the center of the space is equipped with top-rated White Calcutta Quartz counters, a huge kitchen island with oversized slab, and high-quality appliances including a Frigidaire Professional range and cooktop. The built-in theater entertainment system with an HD Epson 4k projector, 100-inch diameter theater screen, and surround sound speakers makes this studio perfect for entertaining large groups or hosting business meetings. The insulated, oversized garage door allows for easy movement of large items, and the furnace, AC, and water heater ensure comfort year-round.

Additional features of this property include alley access, a fully fenced yard with a dog run, a one-car garage with a modern designer frosted glass door, a gas line-connected Chef's edition Kitchen-Aid grill on the deck, low maintenance landscaping, upgraded utilities in both the house and studio, a large concrete slab/back driveway off the alley with space to park three vehicles, architectural plans to build a second-story master suite, and the opportunity to continue leasing the property.

Located just steps away from 2nd Ave, shops, restaurants, and events, this property offers the perfect blend of luxury, flexibility, and convenience. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this modern oasis your own!
