About This Home

As of August 2022

Ideal downtown Cortez home - just a couple blocks to Wildedge Brewing, the farmers market and downtown restaurants. The house is zoned neighborhood business, meaning you can run certain low-impact businesses out of it. High ceilinged, light-filled interior and artistically remodeled. Hardwood floors in the main part of the house. Relatively recent double pane windows, upgraded wiring and light fixtures with LED lighting throughout. Heating and A/C are a forced air natural gas system. House features an active sub-slab radon mitigation system to keep radon levels safe. There’s an unfinished walk-in basement for more storage and easy utility access. A recent home inspection report is available and the home is scheduled to have a fresh coat of paint this week. The detached garage has been finished out as an office, which could make for a great workshop or studio. The wide gravel driveway can hold multiple vehicles. The front yard is mostly established with native plants, while the backyard, which is completely fenced, is mostly a large garden with several young trees. The entire property has been managed organically for the last 5 years, with no chemicals of any kind applied. The backyard also features an adobe horno oven that's great for pizza, bread or other baking.
