This historic bungalow AND modern ADU on quiet, walkable W 2nd Street checks all the boxes: Single-story? Check! 2-car garage? Check! ADU? Check! Since 2014, this home has evolved into an updated, functional space with its vintage vibe preserved.
The Main House: Major updates include a new roof (2020), refreshed stucco/exterior (2021), replaced sewer line (2019), and newish windows (2016). The updated 3-bdrm, 2-bath layout features a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a cozy reading nook. The original wood floors were just refinished. Marmoleum flooring and authentic 1960s Sputnik lighting add mid-century flair. The bright kitchen offers quartzite countertops, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry cabinet. A convenient mudroom/laundry area provides easy access to the crawlspace for additional storage.
The ADU: Built in 2020, the airy 598 sq. ft. studio includes a full kitchen, 3/4 bath, and in-unit laundry. It's perfect for multi-generational living, a guest house or as a rental unit (current tenant on month-to-month lease).The ADU is all electric, w/cove heating, a private entrance and parking spot, separate mud/laundry room and loft for storage. A sliding glass door enters to a small yard with a privacy wall and patio.
The Garage: 676 sft, 2-car, insulated and drywalled, opening to the alley. It includes a utility sink, high door for larger vehicles, and side double doors and a window for great natural light to work by.
The Outdoors: Enjoy the south-facing front porch, warm even in the winter, or the large back deck with incredible views of 'S' Mountain-perfect for July fireworks or the December "Christmas Mountain" lights. The backyard is fenced and a xeriscaped canvas is ready for a buyer's visions.
Whether you're seeking an idyllic primary home or a savvy investment with historic charm, this property offers a unique opportunity for the Salida lifestyle. Seller is licensed Realtor in Colorado.
