About This Property

Here is an exceptional opportunity to acquire this remarkable historic property in one of Colorado's most desirable mountain communities. Introducing Brookside, a distinguished 1889 Victorian residence masterfully reimagined as an elegant duplex, offering a rare combination of architectural heritage, modern sophistication, and investment versatility. Ideally positioned near the iconic Manitou Incline, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak Cog Railway, this remarkable property captures the charm and allure of one of Colorado's most sought-after mountain communities.

Elevated above street level, the residence welcomes you through a stately front porch into a grand shared foyer, where separate entrances provide private access to each thoughtfully renovated flat. The upper residence is reached by the original 1889 staircase, while the main-level residence offers convenient first-floor living. Each beautifully appointed unit features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and its own dedicated electric meter. Historic elegance is seamlessly paired with contemporary comfort through extensive renovations, including updated kitchens and baths, new plumbing and electrical systems, replacement windows, and restored cast-iron tubs, while preserving the home's distinctive Victorian character.

The upper residence enjoys direct access to an expansive backyard, creating a remarkable outdoor retreat for entertaining, relaxation, and enjoying the Colorado mountain setting. Historic remnants of the original well and outdoor kitchen provide a unique connection to Brookside's storied past. An additional 914-square-foot unfinished basement with separate exterior access offers valuable flexibility and future potential. Buyers interested in exploring conversion to a Family Dwelling Unit (FDU) should consult the City of Manitou Springs regarding zoning, permitting, and applicable requirements.
