This incredible home is an absolute must-see, located on Colorado’s oldest Scenic Byway with Continental Divide views! Perfect as a large single-family home, with plenty of space to live large! The two suites on either side have been successful, income-generating short-term rentals, helpful for loan qualification and easy STR license when primary residence. Remodeled with granite counters, stone floors, custom cabinetry and included quality appliances. The layout is inspiring with open kitchen, living area with built-in window seating, dining area with stone fireplace with wood & pellet stoves. Upstairs, two bedrooms with clerestory windows, bathroom and laundry room. In 1987 a foyer and large bedroom suite was added above a two-car garage with impressive storage space.
