Beverly Heights is that quiet residential community on the other side of Highway 6 from the Colorado School of Mines, which is why so many CSM staff and their families live there. Indeed, the husband of the couple selling this home at 1945 Sage Drive is himself a retired professor of geochemistry. Tucked at the foot of Mt. Zion with its iconic “M” on the mountainside, this community is so loved that homes like this come on the market rarely and get snapped up quickly. A lovely pocket park is nearby, and this home is on a 1/4-acre fenced and xeriscaped lot with a garden and RV parking, and it has several features that home buyers like. It has hot water baseboard heat provided by a newer high-efficiency boiler. The seller-owned 5.4kW solar PV system keeps the monthly utility bill low, too. The sellers added a cozy sunroom with skylights and a flagstone floor. A classic wood cook stove is the centerpiece of their big eat-in kitchen, and the wrap-around tree-shaded deck is a peaceful retreat most of the year.
