Description

Discover the storybook character of this distinctive 1929 Tudor Revival home in Colorado Springs’ historic Old North End Historic District. Listed as a contributing property in the National Register nomination for the district, 2221 Wood Avenue is an exceptional example of historic architecture, thoughtfully preserved with many of its original details and an array of unique spaces rarely found in today’s homes. With nearly 2,600 of square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence features a stucco exterior, three-over-one double-hung wood windows, side-gable roof, stucco chimney, quarter-width conical porch, conical tower, arched entry, and the charming, original attached one-car carriage house with half-timbering. Copper gutters and downspouts complement the synthetic hail-resistant roof while the conical tower is ensconsed in copper as well. Inside, a separate dining room, year-round sunroom, and numerous original built-ins add character, function, and timeless appeal. The main level also features two bedrooms and a remodeled bath. The lower level features a cozy family room and primary suite with many modern updates. Set on a double lot, the property offers an unusually expansive collection of outdoor spaces. A quaint gazebo complements the mature landscape, while a greenhouse, multiple gardens, raised garden beds, and a chicken coop create a unique garden setting. An irrigation well makes keeping everything healthy and green a breeze without the worry of watering restrictions. And a rare detached two-car garage, with workshop, is accessed from the alley and provides additional parking and storage. With its fairytale-cottage architecture, original carriage house, conical tower, arched entry, sunroom, built-ins, double lot, and exceptional garden features, 2221 Wood Avenue offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Colorado Springs history with character that simply cannot be replicated in a new home.
