Set high atop a rock wall perimeter with original wrought iron fencing and gates, this one of a kind property is steeped in Colorado Springs history. Built in 1905, this home was the original Patty Jewett Caretaker’s residence. The east part of the home was originally the library and private ballroom for the golf course patrons until it later became part of the original residence. You enter the home into a foyer/library which leads into the living areas. The living room area has multiple sets of french doors, a wood-burning fireplace with built-ins, and maple flooring (constructed on-site). The sun pours into the room during the mornings and winter afternoons and it is the heart of the home where company often gathers. The formal dining room makes for spectacular dinner parties with oak flooring, original light fixtures, and built-in corner cabinets. The kitchen has lots of cabinetry, original light fixtures, a gas range, butcher block counters, and an open pass-through to the living room. There is a bedroom and a beautifully renovated bathroom on this side of the home, too. The sunny master bedroom has original oak flooring and crystal sconces, a wood-burning fireplace and gorgeous windows and french doors. Also on this side of the home, there are two more bedrooms and a full bathroom with authentic tile work. Better yet, is the 1/3 acre, corner lot that sits high above the street and provides some views of Pikes Peak in the winter and lush landscaping in the summer. You can open up any of the 11 sets of French doors and enjoy the many outdoor spaces with family and friends. The backyard has a marvelous screened in patio and huge expanses of grass for playing croquet, frisbee, and basketball. Walk to Patty Jewett, Colorado College, downtown, and the many shops and cafes in the area.
Other features include Leaded glass windows, 11 sets of french doors, main level laundry, and impressive storage with a cedar-lined coat closet and storage nooks in the dressing room, a wine room, a huge unfinished basement and an attached, over-sized 2 car garage.
