About This Home
As of June 2025Charming, character-rich, and packed with updates-this Old Town gem is the total package! This beautifully maintained ranch home in the heart of historic Fort Collins sits just minutes from the city's thriving downtown scene, rich with culture, craft breweries, and a diverse dining and shopping scene. Inside, you'll find a warm and welcoming vibe with hardwood floors in most spaces, original architecture that nods to the home's history, and updates that make daily living feel fresh and effortless. The spacious kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, a center island, and a breakfast bar for casual meals. Accommodation includes two generously-sized bedrooms that offer plenty of space and natural light, giving you flexible options for rest, guests, or even a creative studio. Step outside into the fenced backyard oasis, where you'll be surrounded by mature trees providing shade and privacy. The raised deck and flagstone pathways create a serene environment that's perfect for unwinding under the Colorado sky. The fully landscaped front and back yards are a mix of native and drought-resistant plants, flowering beds, and raised vegetable gardens, all kept lush by a smart automated irrigation system with remote control and a dryness indicator. New pavers on the driveway connect to a gravel drive inside the backyard, offering bonus space and flexibility for cars, bikes, an RV, or storage. Live just minutes from downtown Fort Collins, with access to outdoor adventure, fun local establishments, seasonal festivals, and the city's historic charm. Whether you're dreaming of your own personal retreat or seeking a prime rental opportunity, this home has the prime location and versatility to do it all. Enjoy peace of mind and added value with the roof, gutters, furnace, and AC having been replaced just 2 years ago. No HOA!
