Property Description

Built in 1889 and set within the Mill Street neighborhood on the south end of Downtown Colorado Springs, this historic home carries the kind of character that only comes with time. Small in size but rich in personality, it has been thoughtfully updated over the years while maintaining the charm and quirks that give older homes their appeal. Inside, the home has been steadily refreshed while preserving its individual charm. The kitchen was completely reimagined with updated cabinetry, butcher block countertops, hardwood floors, shelving, lighting, gently used appliances, and a functional layout that feels both practical and inviting. Additional improvements throughout the home include new hardwood floors and carpet, trim, paint, lighting, and built-ins that create a cohesive feel while still allowing the home's original character to come through. The backyard feels more like a private gardening retreat than a typical city lot. Established raised garden beds, an irrigation system, and multiple outdoor spaces create room to plant and spend time outside throughout the seasons. A potting shed with French doors adds both charm and functionality, while a large workshop creates opportunities for hobbies, projects, storage, or creative use. Two off-street parking spaces inside the gated yard add everyday convenience that can be hard to find this close to downtown. Historic homes have a way of feeling different—they tell stories through details, imperfections, and spaces that have evolved over generations. With extensive updates already completed, a backyard designed for growing and creating, and a personality that feels entirely its own, this is a home for someone looking for more than just square footage.
