Colorado Springs has some pocket areas that are known for their Victorian style homes and Old Colorado City is one of them.

This brand new listing has such interesting character and charm it is hard to choose where to start.

Colorado Springs Victorian Home for Sale

 

Originally built in 1889 the house keeps the Victorian style & motif alive with the floor plan, original wood floors, trim, stain glass door and windows.  With the considerable attention to detail in the extensive update and remodel the current owner (only 3 in the past 100 years) took painstaking care throughout the project.  The entry parlor is a nicely sized room that can function in a variety of ways depending on personal preference.

On the front porch with views of Pikes Peak there is a stain glass door original to the house.  The house is unusual in that there is a large kitchen (rare for this era and style of home).  The kitchen has a laundry room & pantry area and easy access to the back yard.

Out back there are two additional buildings one of which was a boarding room house with two rooms.  It has been renovated since then and has a garage door on one end for a garage, shop or studio while the other is a great storage building or gardeners paradise for fun.  It could also be a fantastic playhouse.

Hi Kelly,

The owners did a wonderful job of remodeling this home while not causing it to lose it's old time charm.  With only three owners, it sounds like this home has been well loved.  

Those hardwood floors look like they are in great shape.  I actually like the the black and white tile floors.   I might do something like that in my home that I have in downtown Colorado Springs that was built in 1909. 

I hope that the buyer finds that great home quickly. 

Sondra
