For Sale - Active

Welcome to this beautifully updated ranch home in the heart of Fort Collins' coveted Old Town neighborhood with a separate 2 bedroom/2 bath fully permitted ADU. Situated on a spacious one-third acre lot with a lush, park-like backyard, this light-filled single-story residence offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and functionality. Just one block from City Park, you’ll enjoy easy access to Lake Sheldon, the water park, golf course & cross country snow skiing, pickleball and tennis courts, playground, Club Tico, and the vibrant Food Truck Tuesdays throughout the summer. Bike and walking trails, the scenic Poudre River, CSU, and the shops and restaurants of Old Town are all within walking distance. Inside, the home is thoughtfully updated with stylish finishes and abundant natural light. A custom fireplace mantel crafted from a maple tree that once stood in the backyard adds a personal, timeless touch. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully modernized, and two automatic skylights flood the space with even more light. Step outside to your private oasis with mature trees, garden boxes, a fire pit, and a covered patio ideal for entertaining. The outdoor BBQ island, added in 2022, makes gatherings even more enjoyable. Unique to this property is its excellent parking and layout, including a front two-car carport and a rear two-car garage with alley access. Nestled beneath a stately maple tree, the newly built 900 sq ft ADU (carriage house) is fully permitted and offers two bedrooms, private alley access, and separate parking—perfect for guests, in-laws, or rental income. With upgrades including a new roof across all structures, automatic irrigation, updated fencing, a whole house fan, and more, this home is move-in ready and full of character, history, and thoughtful design.
