Erie, CO 80516 1341 Washburn St

If you haven't experienced the Erie Village neighborhood yet, it's a must - a warm, small-town vibe with beautifully crafted, architecturally distinct custom homes throughout. This Victorian-inspired home is a standout among them, featuring a corner turret, a storybook front porch with white balustrades and a swing for lazy summer days, and an arched entry - all framed by leafy trees and tidy flower beds. On a nearly 1/3-acre lot, a highlight of this home is the backyard's emerald, tree-lined lawn, pristine landscaping, iris beds, raised vegetable gardens and a covered patio for picture-perfect fresh-air parties. Just beyond your back fence, Coal Creek and a meandering nature trail await. Inside, the spacious main level is filled with great light, intimate seating nooks and hardwood floors. Plan cozy afternoons around the gas fireplace, gatherings in the formal dining room beneath an elegant tray ceiling, and mornings flipping pancakes in the spacious kitchen, complete with tiled floors, abundant cabinetry and a wine bar. Upstairs, a dreamy primary suite offers a built-in bookcase, a window-wrapped sitting alcove, your own fireplace and an updated bathroom with a gorgeous freestanding soaking tub, seamless glass shower and quartz-topped dual vanity. An addition above the garage provides a large bonus space, perfect as a home library, yoga room, art studio, office or play area. An unfinished basement gives you room to expand, too. The excellent condition of this home leaves you plenty of time to explore nearby paths and trails, newly finished open space, playgrounds and parks, and neighborhood events like an annual summertime lantern festival.
