Welcome to this charming end-unit cottage that invites you into the heart of downtown Salida. The moment you walk in, the warmth of wood flooring and a cozy gas fireplace greet you, blending the home's historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Natural light pours in through the windows, framing mountain views in nearly every direction, including front-row seats to the iconic S Mountain.
The kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a classic eat-in layout. Just beyond, a laundry and mudroom combo leads to your private backyard oasis. A large deck offers a perfect perch for watching fireworks and a shady tree provides a peaceful backdrop for afternoon lounging. There’s even a patio nook for outdoor dining, an irrigation system, two raised garden beds, and easy-care xeriscaping that keeps things beautiful with minimal effort. A separate insulated studio sits beside a tidy storage shed, ideal for stashing bikes and boats or creating a quiet retreat.
The two bedrooms are bright and inviting, each offering a peaceful retreat with warm wood flooring and lovely natural light. Whether you’re waking up to soft mountain views or winding down after a day in town, these spaces feel cozy, calm, and comfortably livable. The remodeled bathroom features a modern walk-in glass shower and electric heated floors. Other updates include a tankless water heater (2023) and new roof (2018).
All this sits just a block from the energy of downtown, close to trails, shops, and restaurants, yet still quiet when the stars come out.
