This incredible home is an absolute must-see, located on Colorado's oldest Scenic Byway with Continental Divide views! Perfect as a large single-family home, with plenty of space to live large! The two suites on either side have been successful, income-generating short-term rentals, helpful for loan qualification and easy STR license when primary residence.

The layout is inspiring with open kitchen, living area with built-in window seating, dining area with stone fireplace with wood & pellet stoves. Upstairs, two bedrooms with clerestory windows, bathroom and laundry room. In 1987 a foyer and large bedroom suite was added above a two-car garage with impressive storage space.
