This magical creek property was a former zoo with elephants and peacocks roaming the 1.33 acres of Japanese gardens and the profusion of many varieties of trees. The impact begins immediately upon entering the private road as you wind around 100 year old trees and come to this stylish Mid Century Modern custom designed masterpiece. Wildlife is abundant and the peaceful sound of the rushing water only adds to the serenity and privacy this one-of-kind property has to offer. You and your guests will savor the time spent on the two bridges and beautifully landscaped estate. It's quite a gem with 8 foot glass doors and floor to ceiling windows in every room. The 913 square foot covered patio is perfect for entertaining vast amounts of people. A tastefully and newly remodeled ensuite accompanies the oversized primary bedroom. Radiant hot water heat in the concrete floors make for the most warm and comfortable way to live throughout the ice cold winters. The house was custom built and continues to be period authentic with original metal cabinets in the kitchen, all copper gutters, tons of storage, and concrete floors. Stepping into this perfect size 2504 sf rancher harkens back to 1950 when life was simpler and neighbors gathered under the covered patio on cool summer nights sipping their favorite beverage while listening to the calming sound of Cheyenne Creek, one of the last creeks in Colorado running through residential property. You can't beat the location as it's within a mile of the 5 star Broadmoor Hotel, hiking trails, post office, library, and fabulous restaurants.. Award winning District 12 schools are only a few blocks away. It is no exaggeration that you will never find such a unique property anywhere in Colorado Springs. With an irrigation well you can keep this park like setting beautifully manicured without the high water bills.
