Rare Opportunity to Own a Property with Private Access to Stratton Open Space. This historic 1919 home is located in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Colorado Springs, offering private access to Stratton Open Space and just minutes from the Broadmoor Hotel and Cheyenne Cañon. The home sits on one of the largest lots in the area, with no covenants, allowing for freedom and privacy. Meticulously remodeled, it’s completely turn-key and blends classic charm with modern amenities. Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a spacious mudroom, perfect for storing coats and gear after outdoor adventures. The original fir floors, recently refinished in 2023, add warmth and character throughout the home. Exposed wooden beams and a renovated wood-burning insert create an inviting, rustic atmosphere. The spacious primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings, his and hers closets, an en suite bathroom, and its own private patio. A versatile Jack and Jill-style bedroom and bathroom can function as a guest suite, office, or sitting area. The cozy family room could also be used as a home office. Formal living and dining areas offer the perfect setting for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen provides stunning views of the Stratton Open Space through a wall of windows. In 2024, a new fence was installed to maximize unobstructed views of wildlife and the surrounding foothills. The property also features a detached cottage, ideal for a studio, guest room, or extra storage, and an outbuilding with electricity, suitable for a greenhouse or hot tub control room. The standout feature of this home is the multi-tiered party deck above the two-car garage. With panoramic views of the Broadmoor, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Cheyenne Cañon, it’s the perfect place to entertain or enjoy peaceful mornings. Additional parking for at least four cars makes this property even more convenient. This rare opportunity offers both luxury and nature, a true gem in Colorado Springs.
