Description

This versatile property offers two income-producing residences on a single R-2 zoned lot, just blocks from downtown Colorado Springs. A charming 2-bedroom Craftsman-style main home pairs perfectly with a fully detached, renovated studio cottage—ideal for short- or mid-term rental or flexible owner occupancy.The main residence blends classic character with smart upgrades: original hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, and a gas fireplace anchor a bright and welcoming living space. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a tile backsplash—all connected by a center island perfect for everyday function.Tucked privately at the rear of the lot, the cottage was fully upgraded in 2024 with premium appliances, new bath fixtures, in-unit laundry hookups, and modern finishes throughout. With its own entrance and separate metering, it’s a self-contained unit ready for immediate use or income.Major system improvements between 2022 and 2024 offer long-term peace of mind, including a new high-efficiency HVAC system, full electrical safety upgrade, sewer line replacement/servicing, radon mitigation, and a 5-year roof certification (valid through 2029).Outdoor living includes a fully fenced backyard with a grill-ready patio, a private front porch, and dedicated off-street parking for three vehicles—plus additional street parking.Originally purchased for long-term owner occupancy, the home was upgraded with care. Now, with plans changed, a new owner can take advantage of its flexibility, location, and turn-key condition.
