About This Home
Victorian Charm Meets Modern Downtown Living. Step back in time while enjoying all the comforts of today with this exceptional pair of historic residences in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs. The main house, built circa 1890, offers almost 1900 finished square feet of timeless character, while the charming two-story 1902 carriage house provides an additional 1,200+ square feet of versatile living space. Together, these homes offer countless possibilities, multi-generational living, short and/or long rental income, guest accommodations, or an inspiring live/work retreat.
The property greets you with a delightful rose garden, arbor, and perennial landscaping, inviting brick patio, and a covered front porch perfect for relaxing mornings. Inside, the main home exudes elegance and craftsmanship with exquisite carved woodwork, built-ins, a bay window in the dining room, and gleaming wood floors. The kitchen features a gas stove, butler’s pantry, and an enclosed sun porch, while a flexible main-level room can serve as a bedroom, office, or study. Warmth and comfort flow throughout with a living room fireplace, gabled ceilings, and abundant natural light. Three additional bedrooms and a bathroom with free standing tub complete the upstairs.
The 1902 carriage house is equally enchanting, boasting a kitchen, cozy living room with fireplace, and a main-floor bedroom (or den). Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer flexible use for guests, tenants, or family. This structure could serve as a guest house, rental, parent suite, studio, or home office. The shared outdoor space offers inviting areas for gathering, grilling, or unwinding under the Colorado sky next to the firepit and relaxing in the hot tub. Located just one block from Shooks Run and within easy walking distance to trails, schools, restaurants, and all that Downtown Colorado Springs has to offer, this property embodies the perfect blend of heritage, versatility, and modern convenience.
