1011 W Mountain AVE Fort Collins, CO 80521

Some houses just have the kind of character that can't be built new. This charming Mountain Avenue home is one of them. Set in the lovely, history rich Washington Place neighborhood of Fort Collins where the amenities of Old Town and peace & quiet exist together. You're only a short walk or bike from the coffee shops, breweries, parks, local restaurants & the variety of attractions that make Old Town what it is. The neighborhood co-op market is just steps away, as is the popular Little on Mountain restaurant. Recreational opportunities are close by at City Park and Lee Martinez Park. Start your day with a warm drink on the screened-in front porch surrounded by towering trees and taking in the sights and sounds of historic Mountain Avenue. Inside, wood floors flow from room to room adding warmth and character throughout. A large family room with a gas fireplace, numerous tall windows and southern exposure offers a great place to retreat and cozy up on chilly Colorado winter nights. The kitchen is conveniently laid out and opens directly into the family room and out to the patio, creating an inviting space for entertaining or simply winding down at the end of the day. Bar top seating provides an easy eat-in kitchen option, while the dining area offers room for more formal sit down meals. One of the main level bedrooms doubles easily as a home office, while the primary suite occupies the entire second floor. It is private, quiet & away from the daily traffic of the house. Out back, there's room to play, garden & relax in the private fenced yard. Enjoy all the apples you can eat from the highly productive apple tree. A detached one car garage with alley access gives you secured, covered parking, additional storage and easy ingress & egress. The unfinished basement adds even more space for your gear, bikes, tools or whatever your hobbies require. This is an absolute Old Town charmer-walkable, welcoming & full of the kind of character that makes a house feel like a home.
