Opportunities like this are increasingly rare. Located in the heart of Colorado Springs, this property offers the unique combination of a little over 1 acre of usable, fully fenced land with the convenience of being just minutes from major shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. The setting feels private and rural, yet remains firmly connected to city living. The property includes a main residence as well as a separate apartment with distinctive Mediterranean-inspired character, featuring multiple living spaces, a formal dining room, kitchen, flex room, and a large primary suite with a private sitting area. A wood stove with a stone fireplace anchors the home, adding warmth and character. The basement includes additional space with cedar-lined walls, offering flexibility for future use or customization. A three-car garage includes additional living space above it with a separate entrance, kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry - ideal for guests or extended living arrangements. The land itself is a standout feature. It is relatively flat, fully fenced, and complemented by a greenhouse and detached covered structures currently suited for storage or hobby use. This is a property that invites vision whether restoring, updating, or reimagining to suit your needs. While the home requires some updates and improvements, and the existing septic system will likely need replacement this home offers a lot of potential. For buyers who value location, land, and potential over cosmetic perfection, this is a rare chance to secure acreage in the middle of town and create something truly special.
