Remodeled Carriage House in Whittier
$940,000 | May 2018
Located in the coveted Whittier neighborhood, this remodeled carriage home features vaulted ceilings, a spacious kitchen, wood floors, and lives surprisingly large for the size of the home. The layout is “upside down”, with the kitchen, living, and dining areas located on the upper level, along with one bedroom and a very nice bathroom. This layout, although unconventional, creates a tree-house feel and allows for great views and excellent light throughout the upper level.
Entering the upper level, a convenient mud space is located directly on the left and offers a good place to kick off your shoes and hang a jacket. To the right is an additional hallway closet. The upper level is open and airy, with high vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams. The kitchen is clad in white cabinets, white Caesarstone counters, and a tasteful and classic subway tile backsplash. The kitchen has excellent counter space, open shelving on all walls, along with views out to the south and west. A large pantry offers good storage. Across from the kitchen is the open living room, also with high ceilings and plenty of space for a comfortable living area. This space features a free-standing gas stove. Glass sliding doors lead out to the west facing deck, which is an excellent area for a grille or outdoor dining. Rounding out the upper level is a full bathroom with penny tile floors. The bedroom on this floor looks out to the east, and features a built in desk and closet.
The lower level features an open master bedroom setup, with excellent closet space, and a remodeled master bathroom. The bathroom features a double vanity, additional storage, and an oversized glass enclosed shower. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a flexible room that can be used as a mud room, a home office, or a lower level sitting area. This floor also features a large laundry room and storage room, as well as access to the yard and to additional storage.
The yard is fully enclosed with a high privacy fence, and features a nice grassy area along with a raised garden bed and a traditional stone wall. On the west side of the home is an additional storage shed, as well as a small parking space under the deck.
The neighborhood and location are fantastic, with excellent access to downtown Boulder. The neighborhood school, Whittier Elementary, is only 3 blocks away and offers a highly regarded International Baccalaureate program. The neighborhood is a mix of classic Victorian homes, along with numerous families and young kids. This free standing home offers a great alternative to a downtown condo, with a very nice yard, a great deck, and plenty of character and charm.
