Picture your morning here: coffee on the sunny enclosed front porch, light pouring across original wood floors, then a short walk down the hall to open your business for the day. This 1909 Old Colorado City charmer offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, and it was made for the buyer who wants to live, work, and build something meaningful in one place. Mixed use zoning allows for a home and a business, and the lot is large enough to build an ADU, opening the door to rental income, a guest suite, or a dedicated studio. Frontage on the West Colorado Avenue corridor puts your business in view of the steady flow of locals and visitors traveling between downtown and Manitou Springs. Two main-level rooms each have their own private exterior door, a rare layout that lets clients come and go without passing through your living space. Imagine a therapy office, salon suite, photography studio, or creative workshop. 9-foot ceilings, classic trim work, and generous room sizes give the home a character you can’t find in new construction. The spacious eat-in kitchen includes all appliances and a pantry. A walk-in closet with dressing area adds everyday ease, and the basement holds the third bedroom, laundry, and extra storage. Outside, the home sits well back from the street behind a large front yard, with a side yard and garden space waiting for your touch. The level 7,500 sq ft lot features alley access to a detached garage and storage shed, ideal for future ADU plans. Whether you are house hacking, launching a business, or simply looking for your piece of the historic west side, this home has room to grow with you. Stroll to the galleries, cafes, and shops of Old Colorado City, catch the seasonal farmers market at Bancroft Park, and reach Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Garden of the Gods, and the Midland Trail within minutes.
