Small Home, Big Living

Lot Description

Small home, big living. Well cared for home in Howard, Colorado blends rustic charm with modern amenities. The main home has been remodeled down to the studs with new flooring, walls, windows, ceiling, and roof. The home includes two cozy bedrooms, ¾ bath with tiled shower and ample storage in custom cabinetry, laundry area with washer/dryer combo unit, living area with a thermostat controlled propane fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, range/oven and microwave. Exit the living room through patio doors to access a partially covered, large deck for entertaining and enjoying the incredible mountain and Arkansas River Valley views. An outside entrance provides access to the partially heated basement with the propane forced-air furnace, electric water heater, chest freezer and storage shelves. Side door from the kitchen leads to the breezeway with a Weber grill, hooked up to the main propane, and a cabinet area for protected cooking. Next to the breezeway, is a space dubbed the “party room” with electricity, refrigerator, window AC, and counterspace for entertaining. This could also be an office space, as it has a separate front entrance. Just outside the breezeway is an outdoor utility sink with hot/cold water. In the back of the house is an insulated shed with electricity and a carpeted, finished interior. Also in the back, is a level RV pad with electric, water and sewer hook-up. Outside is a detached, insulated workshop with electricity and workbench, ready for projects. An older mobile home has made for great storage, as no water or electric is hooked up. The shed next to the carport can store auto and landscaping items. Location is situated just 20 minutes from Salida, near the Arkansas River with world-class fishing, river rafting, and near mountain trails. The square footage may seem small on paper, but this is one property you need to see to appreciate all the options available throughout the property.
