This stunning property is tucked into the hills of Manitou Springs overlooking town, the foothills, and Garden of the Gods. The house itself is a well-cared for and loved artist's retreat. From the stone driveway and rare two-car garage, climb the protected stairs to a welcoming breezeway and sheltered front patio. Enter into an expansive, light-filled living room that flows into the charming kitchen and out to a massive deck with breath-taking views. Step down into a delightful fenced yard filled with fruit trees. Upstairs, you'll find vaulted ceilings, amazing details, including a one-of-a-kind mid-century sliding door into the master, which includes french doors to a Juliette balcony.

The second bedroom is unconventional, but cozy and bright. Home has ample attic storage and an insulated crawl space. Of course, you're steps from hiking trails with easy walking access to downtown Manitou Springs and the free shuttle to the Incline.Across the breezeway from the front door is the entrance to the artist's studio. This is a large 20 X 20 room over the garage.
