Summary:
This Historic Victorian is in the perfect location, right next to Main Street! The Victorian Aspen Grove was built in the 1880s, and has many unique, existing attributes still present today. This house was recently purchased by a Leadville local, and is a constant work in progress/passion project. Although you can expect older windows, dated style and aging cosmetics, the fun you'll have here will be timeless!
The Space:
This home is clean, functional, and is a comfortable place to stay, and the location cannot be beat. There is plenty of space, there is a sauna, and pets are welcome!
Please note: Recently the paint on the ceiling started to peel, and there are a few cracks in the ceiling. Necessary repairs were made when the current owner purchased the home the ensure any visible cracks are purely cosmetic and that the home is structurally sound. The windows may seem draftier. (Although these things can be expected from a home built in 1880's we wanted to be sure to be transparent, please let us know if you have questions).
The house is two stories. It has two bedrooms, with a queen bed in each. There is a sofa sleeper downstairs. Three bathrooms (first floor - half bath and upstairs - one bathroom with a shower and one bathroom with a bathtub only). The exercise area & Sauna room are available for your use. (This home technically has 3 bedrooms, but we have converted one of the bedrooms into a sauna room for ultimate relaxation and recovery).
Guest Access:
You'll have access to the entire house.
The Neighborhood:
