About 1302 E Platte Avenue

Fantastic location--close to downtown. Nothing wrong with this house!! it's been lovingly preserved w routine maintenance on all systems. Foundation work completed after owners purchased. Historic charm w modern functionality. All the beautiful craftsmanship remains—original trim, 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, leaded glass, and wood floors. The living & dining spaces are naturally bright, warm & inviting. There's an eye catching fireplace w original tile, gorgeous brass insert, & ornately carved wood mantel. The spacious, large kitchen has granite countertops and generous cabinetry, drawing family and friends together with ease. This home is great for anyone, but it has 2 bedrooms on the main and a 3/4 bath w handicapped accessible shower, so it has a great set up for a roommate situation or multi-generational living. One main level bedroom is a pass-through to the other, so it would also make a great office, 2nd living space, or bonus room. Upstairs, you'll find 2 more bedrooms with a full bath. The master bedroom--a very large and inviting retreat--features vaulted ceilings and dormer windows that look out to a clear view of Pikes Peak. This home has forced air natural gas w a humidifier and central AC. The backyard is truly your own private oasis; there you'll find established, mature landscaping under an umbrella of large trees offering a peaceful escape. A perfectly manicured lawn, patio, and water feature will relax you after a long day. Front yard xeriscaping showcases high-quality stone and a dry riverbed with a footbridge. Full front/back irrigation system. R-2 zoning (build a garage out back and put an apartment above it). Home has 3 entrances--front, East side, and West side. The side entrance to the west is perfect for adding ramp access if needed. Work shop in the back with electric. Off street parking along the alley. Turn of the century charmer waiting for new owners to love it just as much as the last. Shop can be converted into a 1 car garage.
