What if your morning started with breakfast at The Little, your afternoon included a quick walk to City Park for volleyball or pickleball, and fall Saturdays meant heading over to cheer on the Rams? Welcome to 408 S Washington Avenue, a rare Old Town West property that offers an incredible way to live now, with room to dream about what comes next. Set on an approximately 9,500-square-foot lot, the property is half a block from Dunn Elementary, an IB World School, blocks from City Park and CSU, minutes from Downtown, and just 20 minutes from Horsetooth Reservoir for those weekend boat days. Coffee, dinner, live music, CSU basketball and football are all within easy walking or biking distance. The move-in-ready, 699-square-foot, one-bedroom home has been freshly painted inside and out and features hardwood floors, an updated kitchen and bathroom, and a backyard that may be the best part of the property. Fully fenced and surrounded by mature landscaping, the outdoor space includes a covered pergola and two patios, creating multiple places to gather, unwind, or simply enjoy the Colorado seasons. Just beyond the main home, an approximately 134-square-foot detached flex space offers even more versatility. Separate from the reported living area and complete with a Murphy bed, it works beautifully as an office, studio, workout space, or creative retreat.Then there is the lot.With OT-A zoning, alley access, three off-street parking spaces, and approximately 9,500 square feet to work with, the property opens the door to a range of future possibilities, from a custom residence to additional living space, a garage, or an ADU concept. Future improvements are subject to City approval and buyer verification. A preliminary land-use analysis is available upon request This is the Fort Collins lifestyle people fall in love with: neighborhood coffee, live music under open skies, Tour de Fat through Old Town, fall weekends with the Rams, and summer afternoons at Horsetooth.
