Timeless brick charm in a prime Fort Collins setting! Set on a quarter-acre in the heart of University Acres, this classic home was recently remodeled and brings a fresh interior feel, paired with a generous lot that provides space to spread out and enjoy both indoor and outdoor living. Newer updates include fresh paint throughout the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom, plus new Andersen windows for a move-in ready experience. The bi-level design offers a smart separation of spaces, creating distinct areas for gathering and relaxing while maintaining an overall connected feel throughout the home. The main level features an open and inviting layout filled with natural light and a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a center island that adds extra prep space and seating. The primary suite is also located on the main level and includes an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet with built-in storage. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms provide versatility for a variety of uses, along with a shared bathroom and a dedicated laundry area. Convenient access to the attached garage adds functionality to this level. Outside, the massive, fenced yard feels like your own private oasis, complete with a raised deck, flagstone pathways leading to a fire pit area, mature trees providing natural shade, and an additional storage shed for all the extras. Located just minutes from Old Town, Colorado State University, and the scenic Spring Creek Trail, this home offers easy access to dining, entertainment, outdoor recreation, and everyday conveniences.
