Updated home on oversized lot 2 blocks from downtown! Welcome to this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, thoughtfully renovated from the studs up just seven years ago. With updated electrical and plumbing, this home offers the perfect blend of modern conveniences in the heart of historic Salida. Situated on a rare 0.24-acre oversized city lot, there is plenty of room to spread out and even space to build an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) off the alley-accessible back yard - ideal for guests, rental income, or a studio (zoned C-1). Step inside to find a fresh and inviting layout, with the third bedroom perfectly suited for a stylish home office, work out room, or bonus room. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch, cook with ease in the kitchen that opens to an east-facing deck, or unwind on the south-facing back patio. Just a short 2 block stroll from the heart of downtown and the Monarch Spur Trail, you will love the ease of getting to the grocery store, shops, restaurants, parks, trails, and the Arkansas River. Currently used as a successful short-term rental, the home can be sold fully furnished for a turnkey opportunity - whether you are looking to move in or invest. Fresh, flexible, and full of possibility -- this one is ready to go! Check out the tour video at https://book.emeraldrealestatemedia.com/519-W-First-Street then call for a showing!
