824 W Olive St, Fort Collins CO

Set in the heart of Old Town West, this beloved & bespoke circa 1900 Queen Anne jewel box is truly a one-of-a-kind home, blending warmth, character, & intentional design (homeowners are a professional interior designer and architecture/construction teacher) into a truly unique living experience. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the rich textures- refinished hardwood floors, custom cabinetry & millwork throughout, copper countertops & backsplash, inlaid Texas Osage kitchen bar, & a striking two-way gas fireplace anchoring the space. Designed for both comfort & retreat, the property features ten foot ceilings, arched doorways, a light-filled east-facing "writing room" off the living room, a custom cedar sauna, William Morris Strawberry Thief wallpaper in the office/non-conforming bedroom, custom flagstone patio in the front yard with custom lattice, & an additional 534 square foot detached living space with skylights, white beams, & a pellet stove. With a new roof and gutters, all new interior and exterior paint, newer furnace & water heater (Dec 2019), new gas stove, new dishwasher, & extensive pre-inspection items already addressed, this home offers peace of mind alongside its character. The open plan layout offers a unique footprint, ideal for buyers who value charm and individuality over conventional design. The main floor features three bedrooms, one spacious bathroom with original brass-footed clawfoot tub & period specific hardware, a large front living room & dining room divided by the two-way fireplace, & two sunrooms. Refinished in 2014, the basement includes a second bathroom, two bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room, and a storage room. Located just blocks from Old Town's shops, restaurants, CSU, City Park, Dunn Elementary, Mountain Avenue, and Poudre River Trail, this home is perfect for those seeking an authentic Fort Collins lifestyle with distinctive design and personality.
