The Rocky Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop!
The Space:
This loft-like condo is located on the upper floor of a corner Studio 27 Aesthetics Boutique straight out of Old Colorado City. The building’s exterior is colorfully painted with butterflies. Impossible to miss! Enter the paved parking area on the side of the building, where you’ll be welcomed by a huge wall mural depicting a horse-drawn wagon in early Colorado Springs.
Enter the door marked “The Keys” and climb one flight. As the bright, loft-like living space opens to your left, the first thing you’ll notice is the beautiful pool table, ready to indulge your daydreams of a 19th century billiard hall crowded with cowboys and hopeful gold miners. You’ll find everything you need to play.
This open living space is bookended by a cozy alcove with a TV, two comfy chairs, and a chess table, and on the opposite end, a unique bar painted to look like a piano keyboard! Sadle on up, pardner, and take a seat on one of three stools. Just remember – the last one is reserved for the sheriff.
Beyond the bar is a spacious kitchen where you’ll find a high-top dining table with four stools for lively meals with good company. Culinary enthusiasts, get cookin’! You’ll find plenty of granite counter space for food prep, plus a range, microwave, dishwasher, wine fridge, full refrigerator around the corner, double sink, coffee maker, chef’s knives, spices, and a tea kettle. As you work, you’ll be cheered by the daylight streaming through two windows overlooking colorful Colorado Avenue. Plus, you’ll be glad to know that you’re just two short blocks from Bancroft Park, site of the Colorado Springs Farmers Market.
Back out in the open main living area, a narrow support wall separates the pool table from a small living room behind it, where a plump leather two-seater sofa and coffee table invite you to put your feet up and watch the wall-mounted TV with streaming apps for your subscriptions. This is the second of two TV-viewing areas. Don’t like what the others are watching? You’ve got another option.
This home has two bedrooms, both furnished with queen beds and dressers. One has a large walk-in closet.
