    What's special

    Privacy-fenced backyardExposed brick wallsOversized heated jacuzzi tubPaving stone patioCentral gas heatWood stoveBright open floor plan
    Classic 1889 Second Empire home in the heart of Salida’s Historic District — less than three blocks from the Arkansas River, Riverside Park, and the vibrant Creative Arts District. Nominated for State and National Historic Home designation, this beautifully maintained property blends timeless character with modern comfort. The main house features a bright open floor plan, 3 bedrooms, office/family room, and 2 bathrooms, including one with an oversized heated Jacuzzi tub. Interior highlights include hardwood, marble and tile floors, exposed brick walls, newer windows, and metal roof, and new stucco with embedded color. A wood stove and central gas heat provide year round comfort. Utilities and storage are located in the small basement. The privacy-fenced backyard offers a large concrete patio plus a paving stone patio, with plenty of room to relax or entertain. The driveway includes 50 amp service and sewer hookup for an RV. Lawn and planted areas are supported by a sprinkler system. Some furnishings are included. This property has been meticulously cared for and is truly move-in ready. Two exceptional bonus buildings expand your possibilities: • The original 390 sq ft carriage house, with new windows, newer roof, and water/sewer hookups — ideal for a studio or future ADU. • The 2022-built 18’ x 30’ studio/man cave, featuring 9’ ceilings, two finished rooms, and a half bath. Currently used as a golf simulator room and workshop, this modern structure is flexible and ready for whatever you imagine. Please confirm any future uses or additions — including ADUs or RV related features — with the City of Salida to ensure compliance with local regulations. About Our Town: Salida boasts the largest National Historic District in Colorado and offers world class recreation: Gold Medal fly fishing, white water rafting, tubing, hundreds of miles of trails, hot springs, and festivals. Ski in the morning and play golf in the afternoon. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a historic gem in one of Colorado’s most sought after mountain towns. About My Safe-Showing Policy: I coordinate all showings personally and am happy to work with your realtor. For security, for virtual meetings/tours, I only use Zoom links THAT I GENERATE. I do not click external links emailed to me. All financial steps follow standard real-estate procedures through a local title and escrow company. If these guidelines don’t work for your situation, I completely understand and wish you the best in your home search. I am receiving many unsolicited calls and texts. If you call and I don't answer, please leave a message and I will return your call if you are a legitimate buyer or realtor.
    What the owner loves about this home
    Some homes simply feel alive — full of stories, sunlight, and the kind of character you can’t recreate. This 1894 Second Empire home has watched Salida grow from a railroad town into a thriving arts and adventure hub. Today, it stands proudly updated and lovingly cared for, with exposed brick walls, warm wood floors, and spaces that invite gathering, creating, and unwinding. The original carriage house still stands ready for its next chapter, and the modern studio out back is perfect for hobbies, guests, a quiet escape — whatever you imagine. Just blocks from the river and downtown, this is more than a home; it’s a Salida legacy waiting for its next steward. It’s a wonderfully flexible home ideal for anyone seeking a historic Colorado property with studio space, creative work areas, and multi use outbuildings. All prospective uses of the property, such as accessory structures or RV hookups, should be verified with the City of Salida for current guidelines and approvals.
