Nestled in prime Eagle Rock above Colorado is this gloriously illuminated 1913 Craftsman jewel with a detached permitted guest house and a resort-like back yard with a heated pool and multiple outdoor spaces. Sitting on an idyllic tree lined street, this storybook beauty in the highly coveted Eagle Rock school district has been cherished for 18 years by the same guardians who have meticulous preserved it's character while enhancing the home with thoughtful modern updates including foundation retrofitting, commercial grade solar panels, a EV220 charger and water softener. Beyond the inviting wraparound front porch is the living room with a working fireplace, original wood casement windows, a dining room with exquisite vintage built-ins including a sideboard and two bedrooms (one currently used as an office) with a full bath. Past the dining room is the breathtaking chef's kitchen complete with a professional grade gas range, pantry and a charming breakfast nook with a view. The second floor features the third bedroom and primary bedroom with a soaring vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, a full bath with dual sinks and a well-sized balcony overlooking the lush grounds. Spanning nearly the entirety of the 8744 lot, the back yard is a verdant oasis--a respite from the city that beckons visitors to linger in the heated pebble bottom pool, enjoy numerous patios including the main covered patio with an outdoor TV, sound system and built-in seating, and another to enjoy al fresco meals under a shaded pergola prepared in the outdoor kitchen. Adjacent to the pool is the equally charming 420 sq. ft. permitted guest house with a full kitchen, bath, living room, a built-in Murphy bed and substantial storage in the attic. As day turns to night, the multiple fire pits provide a space for more intimate gatherings. Located steps to the best of Eagle Rock's shops, restaurants, Trader Joes and with a WalkScore of 82, you might never need a car--or a vacation away from home, again.
