Solid 1951 character home with serious square footage and a layout that works. This 5-bedroom, 2-bath single family sits on a corner lot in Cortez with an attached garage, metal roof, and more space than most buyers find at this price point. Inside you'll find hardwood, tile, and laminate flooring throughout, wood-paneled accent walls that give the place real personality, and a kitchen with teal cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and included appliances. The bonus room with slider access brings in great natural light and adds flexible living space. A private entrance apartment setup makes this a natural fit for house hackers, multi-gen families, or investors looking for built-in rental income. Walking distance to Kemper Elementary and just minutes from downtown Cortez; gateway to Mesa Verde country.
