Do you love the outdoors and mountain living but also appreciate the amenities of living in a city? Here is a great home that is steps away from Bear Creek Park, Bear Creek Canyon, one of Colorado Springs' favorite hikes and mountain-biking trails, Section 16, and the city of Colorado Springs itself! Built in 1934, this home is the epitome of character and charm. After walking down the stone-laid staircase to the front door, walking into the main living level, you'll be struck by the generously-sized living space with cozy wood-burning fireplace, dining area with window-surround, and a reading nook. The main living level also houses the oversized primary bedroom with attached bath, and a private office that also serves as an unconventional bedroom. The lower level boasts the updated kitchen with stone countertops, a bath, and a zany hallway that takes you to the hidden back bedroom with independent access. This home is positioned on a private lot of mature trees, beautiful rock formations, and lush vegetation. There is a detached garage on the Gold Camp Road that's the perfect place to store your equipment and toys. There are miles and miles of hiking trails seconds away from your door step. Usually having privacy and seclusion requires you to have a lengthly drive to civilization. This home is a quick drive to everything you need. Downtown Colorado Springs is about a 15 minute drive with traffic. Need more adventure and trails? From this home you can be on Hwy 24 heading west within 5 minutes. Old Colorado City is also a quick drive on those days you want to shop and enjoy local restaurants.
