1302 E Platte Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80909

Fantastic location--just one block to Boulder park, a few to Memorial hospital, & about 1 mile from downtown! This lovingly preserved home blends historic charm with modern functionality. Most of the beautiful craftsmanship remains—original trim, 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, leaded glass, & wood floors. The living and dining spaces are naturally bright, warm & inviting. An eye catching, functional fireplace with a gorgeous brass insert, an ornately carved wood mantel, and original Van Briggle tile (along w humidified, forced air natural gas) warms you in the winter. And central air cools you in the summer! The spacious kitchen, with granite countertops and generous cabinetry, draws family and friends together with ease. This home is great for anyone, but due to having 2 bedrooms on the main and a 3/4 bath w a large, easy entry shower and bench seating, it also has a great set up for multigenerational living if needed. Upstairs, there are 2 more bedrooms with a full bath. The master bedroom--a large and inviting retreat--features vaulted ceilings and dormer windows that look out to a clear view of Pikes Peak. The backyard is truly your own private oasis; there you'll find established landscaping under umbrellas of large elm trees offering a peaceful escape. Enjoy the perfectly manicured lawn, patio, and water feature to de-stress after a long day. Up front, recent xeriscaping showcases high-quality stone and a dry riverbed with a footbridge, both enchanting & sustainable. And a full front/back irrigation keeps everything thriving with minimal effort. The R-2 zoning offers flexibility, and the home has 3 entrances--front, East side, and West side. The side entrance to the west is perfect for adding ramp access if necessary. Much has changed in Colorado Springs, but this turn of the century charmer still echoes with timeless warmth & waits for new owners to love it just as much as the current ones have. Full history of home and all past owners are also included.
