A rare opportunity to own a lovingly cared-for historic cottage on the west side of Manitou Springs. From here, stroll into downtown Manitou for local shops, restaurants, coffee, and the arcade, or step out your door and head for the trails. This inviting cottage blends historic character with thoughtful updates. The character-rich front porch welcomes you home, while the fully fenced yard offers something increasingly rare in Manitou: actual grassy areas, established perennials, a private patio for al fresco dining, a backyard storage shed, and even a side-yard clothesline. Inside, original hardwood floors add warmth and character. The home has been extensively updated while preserving its original charm. Recently, the siding, paint, and insulation were refreshed, the house was re-wired and re-plumbed, and the kitchen was renovated down to the studs.
