Welcome to the Zen Cottage! This 2 bedroom Chalet II home was conceived by a dedicated Zen practitioner as a peaceful retreat and living space in the Japanese Zen tradition. Shoji screens and tatami mat flooring set the aesthetic for this delightful home. Enter from the front landing into a bright, south-facing sun room that captures winter warmth. Adjacent is the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is spacious, with pantry, laundry nook, and room for an eating or prep table. The two bedrooms each are accessed via sliding Shoji screen doors and the floors have embedded tatami mats. Both rooms look out to beautiful views of trees and the San Luis Valley. One bedroom has a walk-in nook closet. The spacious bathroom has a tub/shower, linen closet, and a long sink counter. Household heat is a propane fired radiant unit in the living room. Individually adjustable electric baseboards are in the bedrooms and bath. The home sits on a large unfinished basement, with approximately 6 feet of clearance. An attached, basement-level storage shed is under the house with exterior access from the west side of the home. The property is being sold with two lots. The home is situated on lot 3585. The second lot, 3586, could be developed with another residence, or it may remain in its natural state as a buffer from future development and additional green space. The home is located on a side street with little traffic, one block away from Cottonwood Creek. Behind the home to the west, the neighboring home sits on a large consolidated parcel, which is not likely to be further developed in the future. This unique home has many desirable features. It's well worth a look!
