About 125 Ruxton Avenue
Shut the Front Door! Did you Love the 70s or always knew you just needed to live in this era? Well, here is your chance! Recently renovated with purposely keeping original material from its original build in 1909 and updating elements with a 1970 theme. This blast from the past is unusually rich in graceful original details, including oversized floor-to-ceiling windows and unblemished original wooden paneling, closets and built-ins that still feel remarkably untouched. The focal point of the living space is the brick fireplace with original built-in shelving; a showpiece that beams historic character into the light-filled setting. A timeless kitchen with original retro metal kitchen cabinets carefully refurbished with a butcher board counter top and era-appropriate appliances complete the theme. Each of the 2 main-level bedrooms comes with an oversized walk-in wardrobe area and closet. The full bathroom combines upgrades with vintage elements. Using an exterior entrance to the Manitou-style basement, you'll find a finished rec area. The laundry room is an additional bonus. The welcoming front porch connects you to Manitou while the back patio offers serenity. Situated in the prime gateway between downtown Manitou Springs and several high-volume tourist attractions, including the Manitou Incline and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, this home is just moments from local dining, shopping, trails and Garden of the Gods. Occupants can apply for a permit to park on the street. Great for a personal home, rental or 1031 exchange.
