Property Description
Price Reduced!! Don’t Miss Your Chance to Own This Stunning Historic Queen Anne Victorian with a 2.625% Assumable Loan!
A true masterpiece that rarely becomes available, this exceptional property, known as the Cara Glen, is registered with the National Historical Registry and located in Shawnee, a designated National Historic District. Just 5 minutes outside Bailey and right across the street from the prestigious Orvis North Fork Ranch, it’s a fisherman's dream with public access to the North Fork of the South Platte River.
With an assumable loan available, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history with financial ease. The house stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of its era. The owners have preserved the period-correct ambiance, ensuring the home retains its inviting charm. The exterior was freshly painted, providing a crisp, updated look and ensuring low maintenance for years to come.
Start your day with coffee on the covered porch, taking in breathtaking views of Shawnee Lake, the North Fork of the South Platte River, Split Top Mountain, and Mount Logan. In winter, cozy up by the large stone fireplace, thoughtfully designed to efficiently heat the home. After touring this magnificent property, gather around the stone fire pit for an evening of conversation. Top off the night with a dip in the hot tub before retreating to one of the four spacious bedrooms.
The massive suite offers three separate rooms—perfect for accommodating family. This suite includes a versatile upstairs living area/sleeping quarters, known as the Flour Sack Bedroom, leading to a turret tower room ideal for meditation. Beyond the turret, an enclosed porch awaits, offering extra sleeping space for guests.
