Gracefully blending 1898 character with thoughtful modern updates, this charming home in the coveted Old North End invites you in from the moment you step onto the covered front porch. Inside, rich hardwood floors, custom crown molding, stained glass accents and French doors create a warm, magazine-worthy backdrop. The main floor bedroom adds wonderful flexibility for guests, additional living space, or main-level living. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home-marble counters, under-cabinet lighting, stainless appliances including a high end refrigerator, 4-burner gas stove (new in 2022), microwave, dishwasher and handy island seating. A cozy potbelly wood stove adds old-world charm, while updates like the 2018 roof, 2022 exterior paint, and water heater (approx. 2019) add peace of mind. Clothes washer and dryer are included, and the upstairs bedrooms stay comfortable with two mini-split A/C wall units. Out back, the lifestyle really unfolds: a large wood deck overlooks a fenced yard with mature trees, vine arbor, stone paths, garden area, firepit and a serene, almost secret-garden feel. The detached 2-car garage plus a shed with electricity provides a rare convenience for this historic area. All of this just moments from downtown, Penrose Hospital, shopping, restaurants, transit, and with quick I-25 access to military bases. Historic architecture, modern comforts, and a truly special setting. Colorado Springs living at its best.
