Property Description

Welcome to “The Dreamwood Cottage,”  an elegant Folk Victorian home with a rich history steeped in the frontier days of the late 1800s. The 429 W. Carr Ave home is located on the western edge of downtown Cripple Creek. This charming homestead was originally built in 1896 and has been thoughtfully modernized while preserving its timeless character. Two cozy nooks invite you to read, journal, or play music while taking in sweeping Colorado views and the abundant wildlife that visits the watering hole in the adjacent valley. The beautifully redesigned bathroom features a classic iron clawfoot tub paired with modern amenities, creating a vintage elegance balanced with everyday functionality. The walls throughout have been freshly sanded and painted. The kitchen pantry with window is a rare treat for this historic home. A newly installed mini-split heating and cooling system ensures year-round comfort, from cozy winter nights to the few months of mountain summer heat. Fresh facia has been restored by carefully removing the old wood siding revealing a natural brick beneath, adding timeless texture to the rustic exterior. All soffits have been painted, along with a newer roof and gutters installed just recently. To further elevate the footprint a garden room was added to enhance the size of the living space, bringing the outdoors inside offering abundant natural light or a mudroom for storage for your outdoor gear. Ample parking space with RV vibes galore along with a shed for storage. There is even a pizza bake business next store for an afternoon snack just steps from your front door. Every nook of this homestead has been thoughtfully curated to honor its history while introducing modern enhancements making this one-of-a-kind American classic home a rare gem in the Colorado community of Cripple Creek. Just blocks away from seasonal events such as the Donkey Derby Days of summer and the Ice Festival held in the winter. This quaint mining town is calling you home.
