Property Description

Some homes impress you with scale. Others stay with you because they have a soul. This Westside cottage is one of those special homes that invites you to imagine a different kind of life—morning coffee on the covered front porch, windows open to the garden, flowers returning each spring, and evenings tucked into a home whose character has developed for well over a century. Distinctive posts, traditional millwork and architectural details evoke the craftsmanship of the late 1800s. Inside, traditional wood window casings and decorative rosette details create warmth and individuality that cannot be duplicated in new construction. The kitchen features butcher-block countertops, while the updated bathroom offers natural stone slate tile and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. The gardens feel collected and cared for over time, with peonies, lilacs, lavender, columbine, iris, delphinium, Russian sage, coneflowers, yarrow and other seasonal blooms. The fenced backyard offers raised garden areas and hardscape, while a detached garage provides alley access. Roof replaced 2022; refrigerator and washer/dryer included. Zoned R2. This is Colorado Springs' historic Westside, near Old Colorado City, Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon and Manitou Springs. You aren't simply buying a home. You're becoming part of a little piece of Colorado Springs history—a garden of your own, a porch to come home to, and a home with character, warmth, history and a true sense of place.
