Excellent live/work opportunity in this historic 1915 home with a garage/loft above Horsetooth Reservoir. Property is over a half acre and located directly across from Horsetooth Mountain Open Space. Operate your businesses from the garage, rent upstairs to another business/artist/etc, live in the home - the options are endless! Garage/shop was built with 12'h walls that are 12" thick - everything is over-engineered and designed to keep your client's business or hobby organized and convenient. The included compressed air system is built into the walls and there are nozzles everywhere, both downstairs and upstairs, as well as on the front exterior. The floor support system for upstairs is red iron to accommodate the built-in trolley hoist system on the main level. Radiant flooring on both levels of the garage provide heat - or use the pellet stoves on each level for an alternative. Both levels also have a half bath. Shelves in the shop are constructed to hold thousands of pounds - owner stored over 20,000lbs of motorcycle parts and equipment on those shelves. The enormous 11.34kW solar system (installed in 2019 and owned, not leased) provides ample electricity for whatever hobbies you might dream up! NEW heat pump and AC in home, with propane furnace backup. And in the shop loft a new heat pump and AC unit is also new, so multiple heating exist for both spaces. The historic home was originally in Fort Collins and was moved up in one piece in the 1970s to rest on a full concrete basement on this beautiful lot. Nearly everything on the main level is original - plaster walls, kitchen cabinets, windows, hardwood floors, doors, etc. All plumbing and electrical has been replaced and improved over the years - so you get the quaintness of a historic home with modern conveniences. Newer high-wind standing seam roof provides peace of mind for decades. Yard is fully fenced - and there are producing apple trees at the back of the property.
