Charming Victorian cottage in historic Idaho Springs sitting just above the town. This home is in the perfect location. It is just out of the hustle and bustle yet is only 5 blocks to the downtown historic district and restaurant row. Remodeled top to bottom with attention to detail while keeping the vintage charm. There is a cute front yard perfect for morning coffee & taking in the valley views. Just inside there is a spacious living room with stained glass window and a cozy native stone fireplace. The kitchen is nicely updated with new cabinets, granite countertops, updated appliances and new LED lighting. The first bedroom has windows on two sides for a crossbreeze and gets nice light. The 2nd bedroom could be used as a guest room or a nice sized office. The bathroom is all updated but looks period correct with custom tile, a pedestal sink and a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub. The best part is the laundry room because it doubles as your "basecamp" gear room. It has room for skis, bikes, kayaks and any other mountain gear. The best part of the property is the multi-tiered backyard. It has multiple garden spots with wildflower beds and over a dozen native plants. The upper area is perfect for taking in the panoramic views or starry mountain nights. This is the perfect spot for drinks with friends after a hard day of hitting the slopes. Being located in the center of town is a big plus. There are creekside paths, multiple parks, a remodeled rec center for workouts and numerous mountain bike trails just a few blocks away. Enjoy historic mountain towns, Echo Mountain Ski area, rafting, casinos, fun bistros, galleries and quaint mountain shops. Just 20 min to skiing, 35 min to Denver. This home is ready for your mountain lifestyle!
