217 Skyline Drive

Description

Views that will drop your jaw ALL ONE LEVEL LIVING Multi-generational space plus income potential studio or caretaker quarters above two car garage and shop. Nothing fancy, but a truly special place. Beautiful outdoor living with huge, covered porch, large patio, and a courtyard deck with awesome perennial gardens, all facing Pikes Peak with in-your-face views. Quiet, established neighborhood that is 10 minutes to Woodland Park or Divide, and no HOA. The original home was a 1968 cabin (the 'East Wing') with an addition in 1974, and expanded again in 2013 with an 1800sf addition (the West Wing), and the garage / loft studio. Foam board insulation on both structures and blown-in attic insulation in the original portion. The Sunroom has wonderful southern exposure for plants, a hot tub, and passive heat. There is a kitchenette in the ADA accessible West wing, a bedroom, office, second living room, full bath, second laundry, and a pet door with access to rear dog run and gated courtyard. A new asphalt driveway in 2022 with lots of parking. A great garden shed that was once used as a coop still has the chicken-run fencing if fresh eggs are in the picture for you! Some of the things we will miss sitting on the deck getting buzzed by the hummingbirds while the ever-changing views of Pikes Peak and the Crags beckon. Woodland Park is touted as being the City Above the Clouds, and we are in a great place to watch the cloud banks rolling in over the Catamount Reservoirs at the base of the Peak; the stunning rainbows that hover over the reservoirs after a summer thunderstorm, the Ring the Peak Trails, and the one mile loop around the neighborhood. If we could pick the entire house up and take it with us we would!!!
