Some houses have good bones. This one has great ones, and the updates to back them up!

Sitting among the many historic homes that line Weber and Wasatch in Colorado Springs’ historic Uptown district, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home holds onto everything worth keeping: original hardwood floors, soaring high ceilings, and the kind of generous room proportions that modern builders stopped making. The refreshed front porch with city and mountain views is the kind of porch that actually gets used.

Original pocket doors between the living room and kitchen are still here – and still working! The living room itself is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with its original wood mantel. Step through those doors and you’ll find a kitchen that earns the word fantastic: large island with plenty of room to stay awhile, a large walk-in pantry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. The bay-windowed dining room sits between the two, equally at home relaxing or hosting a dinner party.

On nearly 9,500 square feet of lot, there’s room to breathe. The main-level bedroom handles whatever you need it to: guest room, office, workout space. Upstairs, the primary suite has mountain views, walk-in shower, jet tub, and granite countertops. Three more bedrooms, a full bath, laundry where it belongs (upstairs!), and a loft that works as a reading nook, studio, or whatever you’d like.

Inside and behind the walls are tuned up or new too! Furnace, water heater, electrical, plumbing, windows, and doors – all replaced or upgraded in 2020. Freshly painted inside and out within the last few years too. Gutters, fencing, landscaping all handled. This house has been cared for and looked after!

The basement square footage and R4 zoning opens up a world of possibilities. The location delivers the rest: walkable to downtown shops and restaurants, steps from the Shooks Run trail, Stellina Pizza Cafe nearby, and rooted in one of the city’s beautiful historic neighborhoods.
