Property details

About 965 J St

The original house on the block, this 1920 1.5 story brick charmer has 5 acres and all the potential to flip, renovate and stay, enjoy a cozy homestead, bed and breakfast or Airbnb! Bring your imagination to tweak the layout or shine it up to its original glory! As you pull up into the circle driveway, you are greeted by a picket fence gate with a well maintained garden. The open front porch that wraps to the side would be perfect for a porch swing to sit back and take in the Mountain View's of Apple Valley or watch your livestock or farm animals roam in the fenced pasture. An original fireplace and bay window is the focal point of living room, along with those “creaky” hardwood floors. There is big bright windows and various exit doors to outside to let in a lot of natural light. The Master bedroom is very large and spacious, with its private bath and closet. The screened porch area could be restored or opened up and expanded into the Kitchen. Laundry is off to the side and there used to be an adjoining half bath. The wide and original staircase will bring you to the second story with a balcony that overlooks the views! Use this area as a sitting or game room. Three bedrooms of various sizes and a shared bathroom complete upstairs. The roof was replaced in 2021. Various work such as electrical, drywall, flooring, deck work, painting, clean up has been done to bring this property closer to its full potential. Property is sold as is. Half an hour from Colorado Springs and the I-25 corridor. More photos coming soon!
