1010 San Juan Avenue

Double corner lot, more than 1/4 acre, with irrigation for trees and gardens, shop building, and space to expand. Many possibilities. Retro bungalow nestled in a forest with aspen grove, cedar, elm and fruit trees. The main house has many original features in good working order: Large cook's kitchen with original cabinetry, double cast iron sink, and newer gas cook stove. There is room for an eating table and/or additional storage space. Oak hardwood flooring is in the kitchen, bath, and hallway. The bedroom has two closets. The living room is large enough to be furnished currently as both a living room and office. The home is wired for fiber optic internet! The town of Saguache is a "Tree City USA" known for its irrigation ditches that support this property with one running through the yard providing year round moisture for lush vegetation. The property is partially fenced for privacy and to protect apple, apricot, and plum trees from deer. There is vehicle access/parking in the back yard through a gate at the ally. A detached deck, hooped greenhouse, historic chicken shelter, large storage shed, plus multiple outdoor nooks with rock work and seating complete the yard spaces. The residence is on one lot, is heated by a wood stove and natural gas heater. Ducting is present to add an attic furnace. The second lot holds a 3-season shop/office of about 500 square feet (unheated, no electricity), which could be converted to a dwelling. Alternatively there is a building site on this lot for an additional small residence. This is a very sweet property that has been well cared for by its owner. A great opportunity for relaxed living close to nature only blocks from historic downtown.
