Just a few steps from the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, this sunlit Victorian retreat blends timeless charm with modern comfort, offering a peaceful escape in the midst of city life. Set on the upper floor of a historic 1888 duplex, the space is perfectly situated for days filled with mountain trails, city parks, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant local dining. Whether you're visiting for outdoor adventure or a quiet place to unwind, this home is a warm, character-filled base for your Colorado experience.
Living Space
Step into a bright and inviting living room where large windows let in the Colorado sun and vintage details meet contemporary design. Settle in on the cozy sofa for a quiet evening, or stream your favorite shows on the 55” Smart TV, already connected to Wi-Fi, Netflix, and YouTube. Just off the living area, the updated kitchenette is both functional and charming, outfitted with stainless steel appliances, farmhouse-style cabinetry, and thoughtful touches like a coffee maker, blender, and dishware. Enjoy a morning coffee at the eat-in nook before heading out for the day.
Sleeping Arrangements
Two serene bedrooms each feature a queen-size bed with highly-rated memory foam mattresses, premium linens, and plenty of natural light. Whether you're traveling with friends, family, or on a solo retreat, the spacious layout offers everyone a quiet, restful place to recharge. Additional blankets and room-darkening shades ensure both warmth and privacy at any time of day.
Bathroom
The vintage-inspired bathroom is outfitted with a clawfoot tub and shower combo, freestanding vanity, and decorative mirror. After a day of hiking or exploring nearby attractions, take a moment to relax in a hot bath, surrounded by touches of the home’s original character. Fresh towels, soap, shampoo, and other essentials are thoughtfully provided.
Outdoor Living
Out back, you’ll find a shared, fully fenced yard ideal for unwinding under the open sky or letting your pup roam safely. The laundry room, located just outside through a separate entrance, makes longer stays or post-adventure cleanups convenient. While the yard is secure, please keep in mind that determined pets should not be left unattended, as the fence may not contain high-jumping dogs.
Perfect for...
This home is a great fit for couples, small families, remote workers, or outdoor enthusiasts seeking a centrally located stay with charm and comfort. You'll be just minutes from the trails of Red Rock Canyon and Garden of the Gods, with walkable access to downtown restaurants, cafes, and historic Old Colorado City.
