About This Home

As of July 2025

This historic Victorian home has stood the test of time, from 1890 to 2025! It's easy to imagine past generations enjoying this home. Centrally located in a highly desirable neighborhood west of Main Avenue, this property is close to downtown, parks, schools, shopping, the library, churches, and the Animas River Trail. The traditional floorplan consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, den/office and 3/4 bath on the main level, with 3 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. A great project house, you might imagine how you would choose to remodel this home while preserving it's historic character. The home's plumbing and heating systems are in working order. From the alley there is access to the detached two car garage, fenced backyard and charming back porch leading into the kitchen. There is also a small unfinished basement underneath the home. This colorful home is ready to start a new chapter, check it out today!
