About This Home
A rare and stately offering in the heart of Manitou Springs, 151 Ruxton Avenue presents a reimagined 1889 Victorian residence known as Brookside — a historic treasure thoughtfully restored into a turnkey duplex just moments from the Manitou Incline, Garden of the Gods, and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway.
Elevated above street level with a striking front porch entry, both units share a grand main entrance that opens into a distinguished foyer. From this space, each flat enjoys private access via separate doors — one ascending the original 1889 staircase to the upper level, and one remaining on the main level. Each unit offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and its own dedicated electrical meter.
Timeless Victorian charm is woven throughout the home’s restoration, from the preserved period details to refurbished cast-iron tubs. All-new systems — including plumbing, electrical, windows, kitchens and baths — create a seamless blend of historic character and modern convenience.
The upper-level flat boasts direct access to the expansive backyard, a serene and versatile space ideal for gathering or stargazing. Tucked within the sloped lot are remnants of the home’s original well and outdoor kitchen — subtle nods to the property’s past that enrich its narrative.
With its iconic location, extensive outdoor space, and rich history, Brookside offers a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of Colorado’s most beloved mountain communities — ideal for full-time living or dual rental income. Additionally, a lower-level space with its own entrance adds 914 square feet of versatility. Buyers interested in exploring use of this level as a Family Dwelling Unit (FDU) should consult the City of Manitou Springs for requirements. OM in supplements.
