This charming home feels like it’s in the forest, but it’s only five minutes from downtown Colorado Springs! Towering pines surround this 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath cottage providing a sense of serenity. The property has been completely remodeled with a brand-new kitchen, bath, furnace, hot water heater and electrical panel. The roof and gutters were replaced in 2022. An entry ramp and large backyard patio makes the property wheelchair accessible indoors and out. A one car garage with adjoining 3-car carport offers your vehicles protection from hail and frost. The large R-2 lot includes a spacious shed with its own woodstove, workbenches and electrical power. Could be legally converted into a mother-in-law apt/ADU! Fresh paint and new LVP flooring lead you from the front door, past the original woodstove, into the updated dine-in kitchen with all new stainless-steel appliances. The backyard is professionally landscaped with a large flagstone patio, covered outdoor bar, and solid log privacy fence. An additional 10x7 shed might store tools or become a chicken coop. A secure 360 sq. ft. dog run offers shade for your pups, and there’s still plenty of room to install a greenhouse or lawn. This property with endless possibilities will not last long!
