Property details

About 831 Custer Ave

Nestled on a large corner lot between Downtown and Patty Jewett Golf Course just east of Colorado College, this quintessential Craftsman bungalow offers simplicity without sacrifice, where urban amenities meet quiet streets and trails are just a block away. The spacious front porch is this home's first statement, showcasing exquisite stonework and beckoning you to sit and savor your morning coffee under the shade of mature trees. Inside, you’ll find the hallmarks of Craftsman architecture: a simple and thoughtful floor plan that maximizes every square foot, handcrafted natural materials, and built-ins for character and practicality. The living room is open to the rest of the home and features a stunning wooden staircase that leads to the two bedrooms upstairs. From the living room, you enter a large, dedicated dining space with ample windows (new in 2020) and a kitchen with all the modern amenities you need, including stainless steel appliances and a washer/dryer. Beyond the kitchen is an additional room that can be used as an office, mudroom, or for extra storage. Rounding out the main level is the cozy primary suite with an en suite bath and built-in shelving to display treasures or create a reading nook. Outside, the newly installed wooden fence accentuates the spacious, flat lot—perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying Colorado's stunning weather. An added bonus? Dedicated off-street parking and a one-car detached garage with a large workshop provide ample storage and convenience, eliminating the need to rely solely on street parking. Just 1.5 blocks from the Shook’s Run Trail, one mile from Monument Valley Park, and with dedicated bike lanes on the surrounding streets, there are limitless opportunities to explore the outdoors without leaving the neighborhood. This Craftsman bungalow is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
