Land
Situated on five town lots, this oversized corner property provides space that is hard to find within Westcliffe. The fully fenced backyard is ready for children and four-legged family members, with a garden patio connecting the main residence and guest cottage. The owners have planted trees and bushes throughout the backyard and completed attractive, low-maintenance xeriscaping in the front yard. The generous grounds offer room for outdoor entertaining, raised garden beds, flowers, or simply relaxing while enjoying the fresh mountain air and dramatic Sangre de Cristo views.
Improvements
It does not get much better than this charming, single-level home in the heart of Westcliffe, Colorado. The main residence offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sunroom, separate laundry room, and an inviting open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. Large picture windows frame magnificent views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, while a wood-burning fireplace insert and propane forced-air furnace provide year-round comfort. Laminate flooring extends through the main living areas, newer stainless-steel appliances complement the kitchen, and new carpet has been installed in the primary bedroom. Since 2020, the owners have also installed new electrical breaker boxes, insulated the garage, and stuccoed the interior and exterior of the back room. A new water heater was installed in 2021, and the furnace and ductwork were cleaned in 2022. Exterior trim, areas of the house and cottage, and the fence are scheduled to be freshly painted. The property is being sold “AS IS.”

There are separate electric meters; one for the main house and the other for the guest cottage.
