Can you imagine living in a historical home (built in 1898) perched on the edge of Colorado College, with an entrance to The Pikes Peak Greenway Trail 200 ft. from your front door? Walk South on the trail a few blocks, and you’re on the CC Campus! Imagine walking to a CC Tigers Hockey game, an evening in the Fine Arts Center with its renowned Museum & Art Exhibits, Theatrical Productions, Bemis School of Art Classes, the list goes on. Or maybe you’d like to spend some time at Monument Valley Park on the pickleball courts, or Washburn Field catching a Lacrosse game. Go North on the trail, and enjoy 16 miles of paved trail, traveling along Monument & Fountain Creeks, which connect to various other parks along the way, as well as trails traversing the city while you enjoy stunning views of Pikes Peak, the Rocky Mountain Range, & Pikeview Reservoir fishing expeditions! Enjoy a private backyard w/raised bed growing strawberries, succulents, herbs, Asian lilies, with lilac & choke cherry trees as your canopy.
In researching the City Directory of 1879 and the years following, we find an interesting list of homeowners…the 1st was a Lumber Broker- Think of it, Colorado Springs was founded in 1871, by Civil War General William Jackson Palmer. Palmer envisioned a resort city at the base of Pikes Peak. The climate, natural beauty, & mineral waters of Colorado Springs brought many tourists & health seekers to our city. After the 1891 discovery of gold in Cripple Creek, even more wealth came to the Springs. For a time, the city had more millionaires per capita than any other place in the county, all needing houses, house building needs lumber! Imagine living in a home that was part of the rich, wild west history of Colorado Springs from the beginning! A History of some of its Owners, Artifacts, & Fun Facts will be in the Property Book for you to see. A list of the updates done by the current Owner will be available for you on the Flyer when you Come Take a Look Inside!
