Tucked into a quiet West Side enclave just minutes from the red rocks of Garden of the Gods, the charm of Old Colorado City, the bustle of downtown Colorado Springs and the magic of Manitou and the incline, this home sits on a half-acre lot that backs directly to the 19-acre Mesa Valley Wildlife Preserve-a protected sanctuary that will remain untouched, meaning your privacy, your views, and your connection to nature are here to stay. Inside, the home tells a story-owned by just two families over the years and cared for with intention, not flipped or rushed. It’s clean, solid, and ready for its next chapter, offering the kind of opportunity buyers hope to find in a location like this. The living room frames Pikes Peak through mature trees, while the back deck (built in 2019) creates the perfect place to unwind and take in the peaceful open space and natural surroundings. Downstairs, the partially finished basement offers a rare opportunity for true flexibility, with its own private entrance, existing plumbing, and framing already in place. Whether you’re envisioning multi-generational living, private guest quarters, or a separate living space with income potential, much of the groundwork is already in place-making it easier to create a space that fits your lifestyle. Outside, you’ll also find RV pull-in access for additional parking. This is the kind of West Side home where memories are made, held onto, and rarely let go.
