    What's special

    Located on Elk Avenue in the heart of Downtown Crested Butte, this historic home is rich with authentic Crested Butte charm while benefiting from extensive modern updates. Recent improvements include a new foundation, upgraded insulation, and updated mechanical systems, providing enhanced comfort, efficiency, and long-term durability while preserving the character of the original structure. The home lives significantly larger than its square footage, offering a highly functional and inviting layout. While short-term rental licenses are limited town-wide, this block retains unused availability. The outdoor space is exceptionally spacious for downtown living, featuring mature landscaping, ample seating areas, and a surprising sense of privacy despite being in the center of town. The renovated garage/flex space adds outstanding versatility, complete with a 1/2 bath and excellent potential for a private office, studio, or additional living area. Just steps from Elk Avenue’s shops and restaurants and the ski bus, this property offers a rare combination of historic character, privacy, and modern livability in one of Crested Butte’s most desirable locations.
