Property Description

Welcome to Hart Home, a distinguished Victorian home nestled among the tree-lined boulevards of the Weber-Wasatch Historic District! This spacious, sunny retreat was built in 1888 for local businessman and manager of the El Paso Club, A. Eliot Hart and his wife, Sara. Admired for its spacious bedrooms and light-filled living spaces, this home was designed to command attention! An updated, full-width porch welcomes you to relax and greet your neighbors! You can't help but notice the octagonal-cut wood shingles which wrap around the home; a popular feature found in eclectic Victorian homes of the day. The carved front door opens to a handsome foyer and a staircase leading to the upper floors. Step inside on original hardwood flooring and admire the gleaming plaster walls with oversize windows in every room! Ornate window and door casings with circular corner blocks also appear throughout the home. There is a main-level bedroom (currently used as a sitting room) across from the living room, and a sunlit dining room which can easily hold all your holiday guests! At the end of the hall is a cook's dream kitchen! Completely remodeled with Saltillo tile floors, the kitchen features a small butler's pantry, custom hickory cabinets, a gourmet gas stove and an island! Enjoy your morning coffee in the cozy breakfast nook, or walk out back and have lunch in the private garden! A two-car detached garage with extra storage sits behind the home. At night, retreat upstairs to the Primary Bedroom with its own fireplace, attached 5-piece bath and an oversize walk-in closet! One more bedroom and two bonus rooms (inside a former TB porch) offer ample space for family and friends. And don't worry, the upstairs stays cool in the summer from 2 strategically placed mini-splits. In the kitchen, there is a second staircase which takes you to a large deck. Prepare to be dazzled by the City and Pikes Peak views! Downtown shops, schools and venues are all within walking distance!
