Property Description
Where History Meets Modern Comfort. Welcome to a timeless blend of heritage and modern convenience. Nestled in the heart of Central City—once known as “the richest square mile on earth”-this beautifully restored 1899 stone home proudly stands on a generous ¼ acre lot (16,218 sq ft). Originally founded during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in 1859, Central City is steeped in history and charm, just 30 miles west of Denver. Step inside this immaculate residence and fall in love with the perfect marriage of original character and contemporary updates. The exterior retains its unique stone beauty, while the interior has been thoughtfully renovated with modern amenities. The main level boasts a gourmet kitchen with brand-new cabinetry, countertops, river rock backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and stylish lighting, a sun-drenched great room with soaring ceilings and expansive windows showcasing Colorado's scenic views, a spacious primary suite with luxurious en-suite bath with a jetted tub, glass shower, and designer tile, an elegant half bath and a large, functional laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find 2 additional bedrooms, one with a charming Juliette balcony, a second, full bath with tasteful finishes. Original woodwork, crown molding, built-ins, and an open-concept give this home character and comfort in equal measure. Outside, enjoy the large, flat lot with potential to build a garage-or even expand by acquiring the adjacent lot behind the home (neg.). Ideal Location-Walk to Central City's casinos, restaurants, and shopping. Minutes to Black Hawk and only 8 miles from I-70, placing world-class outdoor adventures at your fingertips—skiing, hiking, rafting, and more. Central City is a popular Airbnb destination—check local Gilpin County and city guidelines for short-term rental options. This home isn't just a place to live—it's a piece of Colorado history reimagined for modern living. Come experience true mountain living in one of the state's most iconic towns!
