About this home
Built in 1909 as a simple summer cabin, 215 Washington Avenue has been thoughtfully cared for and updated over the years while maintaining the character that makes historic homes in Manitou Springs so appealing. Tucked into the foothills above town, the property offers a quiet setting just minutes from downtown Manitou Springs, Memorial Park, local restaurants, shops, trails, and convenient access to US-24.
Over the past 30+ years, the current owners have invested in many of the updates buyers often look for when considering an older home. Major improvements include PEX plumbing with a manifold system (2020), water heater (2020), furnace (2025), sewer line (2025), metal roof, updated gutters and flashing, refinished wood floors, interior paint (2022), updated bathroom finishes, and kitchen improvements including cabinetry, tile countertops, backsplash, and layout updates. Subfloors in the kitchen and bath have also been replaced.
The outdoor space has been carefully improved with tiered landscaping, concrete stairways, an expanded driveway, greenhouse, storage shed, and a refreshed deck. Inside, you'll find a comfortable mix of original character and practical updates, including hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, and a floor plan that has evolved over time through additions made in the 1910s, 1950s, and 1960s.
The home sits on a generously sized lot with room to enjoy the outdoor setting, garden, or simply take in the surrounding foothill views. Its location provides easy access to everything that makes Manitou Springs a sought-after place to live while still offering a sense of privacy and separation from the activity of downtown.
For those who appreciate homes with a story, this property has more than a century of history behind it and is ready for its next chapter. As an added piece of local lore, the owners believe a time capsule from the 1990s remains hidden somewhere on the property....
