Classic character, meaningful updates, and a location just above downtown define this Hillside home. With views of the mountains and walkable access to local favorites like Hillside Gardens and Switchback Coffee Roasters, the setting offers a lifestyle that blends city access with neighborhood charm. Memorial Park and its year-round events are just minutes away, along with proximity to UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central and nearby redevelopment around Printers Home. Inside, the home retains its original character with wood floors, coved ceilings, arched transitions, built-ins, and vintage hardware details that are increasingly hard to find. Natural light carries through the main living areas, giving the home a bright and open feel. Behind the character, important updates have already been completed, including plumbing, electrical, windows, and insulation. The kitchen offers a functional layout with ample cabinetry, pantry storage, and plenty of counter space. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, adding everyday convenience. The exterior continues to impress with a fully landscaped yard featuring irrigation, established grass, flowers, and clean concrete borders. The stucco exterior with hardy trim provides durability and low maintenance. A front porch adds usable outdoor space, while the detached garage with concrete floors and 220v power offers flexibility for storage, projects, or future use. Zoned R2 with alley access, the property also holds long-term potential. This home delivers a rare mix of original character, updated systems, and a location that connects you to some of the best parts of Colorado Springs.
