For all the times you drove through Ute Pass, looked up at a spectacular mountain cabin - maybe with a curlicue of smoke coming from the chimney and a sprinkling of fresh snow on the peaked roof - and thought "some day...". Your someday is here. This dreamy log and stone cabin is the stuff dreams are made of and they truly don't make 'em like this anymore. This beloved home has only had three owners in its' 97 years. The original cabin has been added on to twice - the rear bedroom and dining area in 1956 and the front bedroom, mudroom, entrance and deck additions were completed in 2020. Sitting on .47 acres with a flat, usable yard, this home features a newer redwood front deck and a rear stone patio. Inside, the mudroom is a cozy place to drop shoes, boots and bags. It opens to the living room, the star of which is a huge gas fireplace that comes on with a flip of the switch. The bathroom is a hallmark of vintage charm, fully functional and modern but with its' original claw-foot tub and new sink and cabinetry. The three bedrooms are filled with natural light as is the dining room, with wraparound windows to take in the forest and keep tabs on the humming birds. Outside are three out-buildings - one newer shed in use as a dog house w/attached dog run and one newer shed used for storage. The third building is the garage, a rare convenience for a mountain cabin. As remote and rustic as this home feels, you're just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, or shopping in nearby Woodland Park. Some of Colorado's best hiking, fishing, biking and rock climbing are also nearby. Don't miss the attached list of upgrades the current owners have made, including a new roof, new deck, new sheds, upgraded electrical panel, new windows and exterior doors, new kitchen sink and countertop, new flooring and much more, plus Comcast internet w/high-speed available. Historic charm with modern upgrades and important updates - time to make your cabin dreams come true!
