Description

Step into a rare piece of Walsenburg history with this beautifully preserved 1917 home, originally built as a boarding house and rich with character you simply can't replicate. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the original woodwork, hardwood floors, vintage doors, and even original light fixtures—all thoughtfully maintained to honor the home's timeless appeal. With over 2,300 square feet, this spacious 5-bedroom, 2-bath property offers incredible flexibility. The layout—true to its boarding house roots—creates natural separation of spaces, making it ideal for multi-generational living, rental opportunities, or even a live/work setup. A detached caretaker's cottage in the back adds even more potential as a studio, office, or guest space. The main floor features a tastefully updated bathroom and an updated kitchen, blending modern convenience with historic charm. Upstairs, you'll find additional bedrooms and bathrooms that retain their original character, adding to the home's unique personality. High 9.5-foot ceilings throughout enhance the sense of space and light. Comfort is provided by individual electric baseboard heaters in each room, along with a cozy pellet stove that serves as a warm and inviting focal point. The home also benefits from updated plumbing, offering peace of mind for future owners. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides privacy and room to relax, garden, or entertain. Located just half a block off Main Street, you're within easy reach of
