Storybook craftsman bungalow in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from downtown Manitou Springs! Flooded with natural light and full of historic character, this 1924 Craftsman Bungalow blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates. Much of the original wood trim has been lovingly maintained, and original hardwood floors shine in the main level bedrooms and hallway. The spacious living room features beamed ceilings, a cozy fireplace with wood stove insert, and an open flow to the kitchen and dining area - perfect for entertaining. Enjoy brand new LVT flooring in the kitchen, bathrooms, and family/dining spaces, plus newer stainless appliances, updated wiring and plumbing, and a roof just 2 years old. Upstairs, the private primary suite is surrounded by windows that frame stunning views of the surrounding mountains and includes recessed lighting, new carpet, an updated bathroom, and a walk-in closet. Main level laundry, plenty of basement storage, and an additional bonus storage room off the dining area add everyday convenience. Step out to the covered front porch for views of Red Mountain and Iron Mountain, or relax in the private fenced backyard with lush grass and shade trees. The front yard bursts with bodacious purple Russian Sage from spring to fall, adding a pop of color and a calming aroma that greets you each time you arrive home. Parking is a rare treat in Manitou, and this house has a 1-car garage plus long driveway - ideal for an RV or multiple vehicles. Located across the street from a quaint neighborhood park with a playground, with easy access to Hwy 24 and just a short walk from the shops and restaurants in historic downtown Manitou Springs, and the award-winning District 14 schools. A perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates make this home truly one-of-a-kind.
