412 E 3rd St, Salida, CO 81201

Historic Charmer in a fantastic Salida location! This two bedroom, one bath home is full of character. This owner has meticulously milled trim in several rooms to match the existing original trim work that frames the doorways and windows. You would never know it is new, alder wood additions and not a restored original piece. They are identical! All of the kitchen cabinets were also hand made down to the wooden drawer pulls, and the crown molding around the room to match. Every room that you walk into has a time stamp of the history combined with the years of care and updating. This owner has preserved the original light fixtures, and most of the electrical was updated by adding an inch or more of Styrofoam around the interior walls underneath the sheetrock. This is a stone constructed home, so that layer of foam made it possible to run wiring for outlets and new lighting. Owned for 45 years by the same family, the maintenance has been important and you can see the benefit inside and out. There is a lovely iron fence that surrounds the front yard. Crafted by the owner and his son, the detail and quality is incredible. Enjoy the big backyard that is fully fenced with a combination of more custom welding and bamboo for durability and privacy. The workshop was built with future use in mind. There is already a separate electric meter, and the sewer line is close if anyone wanted to tap into utilities to turn the space into an ADU. This property is perfect to use as it is or add to it for a little more room while taking full advantage of the close to town lifestyle. It is a piece of history that is part of a two block commitment to keeping that line of homes in tact for generations to come. Of course, downtown Salida is within walking distance with the Arkansas River access and other entertainment opportunities in the community. The location, condition, and story of this home are a combination for a great next home!
