What's special

New Pricing! Discover the timeless charm of this enchanting Cottonwood Creek cottage, where classic architecture, one-level living, and an exceptional creekside setting create one of Buena Vista's most distinctive in-town homes. Situated on a beautifully wooded 0.42-acre lot with over 110 feet of Cottonwood Creek frontage, this thoughtfully renovated and expanded residence offers privacy, natural beauty, and walkable convenience. The storybook exterior features cedar siding, a welcoming covered front porch, a steeply pitched roof with 50-year shingles, bay and accent windows, and decorative scroll-cut trim that highlight its enduring character. Inside, the 1,928-square-foot floor plan offers comfortable main-level living with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, a reading room or formal dining area, and a large family room with expansive windows that fill the home with natural light and tranquil creek views. The remodeled kitchen features oak cabinetry, updated appliances, generous workspace, and an inviting loft above—perfect for a reading nook, home office, or creative retreat. Abundant finished attic storage provides exceptional space rarely found in homes of this era, plus a great laundry room with pantry space and a new boiler. Step outside to the covered patio and enjoy the peaceful sights and sounds of Cottonwood Creek beneath a canopy of mature trees. The oversized lot offers room for gardening, recreation, or future expansion, including the opportunity to add a detached garage, while existing storage sheds provide ample room for outdoor storage. Located just minutes from downtown Buena Vista's parks, shops, restaurants, and trails, this rare creek front property blends historic craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional Colorado lifestyle. Whether as a full-time residence or mountain retreat, this one-of-a-kind property offers timeless character, water frontage, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to find.
