Property Description

Some homes impress you with scale. Others stay with you because they have a soul. A Westside cottage is one of those special homes that invites you to imagine a different kind of life—morning coffee on the covered front porch, windows open to the garden, flowers returning each spring, and evenings tucked into a home whose character has been developing for well over a century. The curb appeal begins with a porch that feels perfectly suited to the era of the home. Its distinctive posts, traditional millwork and architectural details evoke the craftsmanship of the late 1800s without trying to recreate something that was never there. Step inside and that character continues through the traditional wood window casings and decorative rosette details, creating warmth and individuality that simply cannot be duplicated in new construction. The kitchen brings together the natural beauty of butcher-block countertops w/ the cottage character, updated bathroom natural stone slate tile paired with rich oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. And then there are the gardens. This isn't landscaping that was installed simply to sell a house. It feels collected and cared for over time. Peonies, lilacs, lavender, columbine, iris, delphinium, Russian sage, coneflowers, yarrow, tickseed, cosmos, zinnias, snapdragons and other seasonal blooms create changing color and texture throughout the growing season. A fenced backyard becomes its own private retreat, w/ raised garden areas and hardscape offering places to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy a quiet Colorado afternoon. Detached garage with alley access a six-foot privacy fence. The front remains welcoming behind its lower fence, preserving the cottage's connection to the neighborhood. Roof replaced 2022, refrigerator and washer/dryer included. Zoned R2, Perhaps what completes the story is where you are. This is Colorado Springs' historic Westside, where an 1888 cottage feels completely at home. Nearby Old Colorado City brings together historic architecture, local restaurants, cafés, boutiques, galleries, Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space and nearby Manitou Springs, w/ miles of trails, dramatic rock formations, mountain views and access to the Pikes Peak experience. That is really what makes this property special. You aren't simply buying a home. You're becoming part of a little piece of Colorado Springs history—a garden of your own, a porch to come home to, a lifestyle where some of the city's most treasured historic districts and outdoor spaces become part of everyday life. For the buyer who has been searching for something with character, warmth, history and a sense of place, this is the kind of property that can be very difficult to replace.
