About this property
Welcome to Cottonwood Porch! Hardwood floors, a sunlit dining bay, and space in every room give this renovated Westside two-story an easy, lived-in warmth, with three bedrooms tucked upstairs on their own quiet floor. When the sun drops behind the foothills, two cedar pergolas light up out back and the night begins.
🔥 Hot tub, gas fire pit, outdoor TV, grill, and retro arcade
🏡 A mile to Old Colorado City, minutes to Garden of the Gods
🌳 Big fenced lawn, a covered back porch set for six, and a gas grill on the front porch
The space
A renovated two-story on the Westside of Colorado Springs, a mile from Old Colorado City in one direction and downtown in the other. Hardwood floors, tall windows, and a whole-home speaker system run through the main level, three bedrooms and two full baths sit upstairs on their own floor, with a half bath on the main level, and the backyard carries the stay outdoors with a hot tub, a gas fire pit, and a covered back porch built for long evenings.
🛋️ LIVING ROOM
The living room opens straight off the dining area, with a large sectional facing a large wall-mounted Smart TV and soundbar beneath a geometric board-and-batten accent wall. A whole-home speaker system runs through the house, so the playlist follows you from room to room. Recessed lighting and two tall windows keep the room bright by day, and the open layout means whoever is cooking is never cut off from the conversation. Please note the fireplace is decorative only and not available for guest use. A second sitting room off the front entrance to break away for a bit is ready with a sofa and a leather armchair, and is the spot for a slow morning coffee or a night of reading when the main room is spoken for.
🍳 KITCHEN & DINING
The fully stocked kitchen comes with everything needed to cook a full meal, along with a complimentary coffee station with pods and a complimentary spice rack, plus a large pantry on the main level. Meals happen in the dining bay just off the living room, where a round wood pedestal table seats six in upholstered chairs beneath a globe pendant, with three windows wrapping the table in light.
🛏️ BEDROOMS
All three bedrooms sit on the upper level.
Bedroom 1 (Upper Level): King bed in a black metal canopy frame, wall-mounted Smart TV, private en-suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet finished like a dressing room with built-in shelving, a granite-topped island dresser, and a window seat
Bedroom 2 (Upper Level): King bed with an upholstered headboard, wall-mounted Smart TV, two windows, and a closet with built-in shelving
Bedroom 3 (Upper Level): Queen bed with an upholstered headboard, wall-mounted Smart TV, and a closet
🛁 BATHROOMS
Full Bathroom 1 (Upper Level En-Suite, Bedroom 1): Double vanity with a white quartz top and matte black faucets beneath oval mirrors, a walk-in shower in white subway tile with a rainfall head and built-in bench, a black textured accent wall, and a black-and-white patterned tile floor under a beadboard ceiling
Full Bathroom 2 (Upper Level, Shared): Relaxing soaking tub with a shower and white subway tile surround, gray vanity with brushed nickel fixtures.
Half Bathroom (Main Level): A half bath for guests on the main level.
All bathrooms are stocked with plush towels and essential toiletries.
👶 KID-FRIENDLY
Pack-n-play and high chair available. The whole yard is fenced, the lawn has room to run, and a corn hole set is ready to be set up on the grass. All three bedrooms share one upper floor, so little ones are never far from the adults at bedtime.
🧺 LAUNDRY
In-unit washer and dryer in a dedicated laundry room, so a longer stay never means a trip out for clean clothes.
🌳 OUTDOOR SPACE
The gas grill is an easy way to start dinner as the evening settles in. The covered back porch runs the width of the house and works as a second living room: an outdoor dining table with seating for six, a wall-mounted outdoor TV, and a full-size retro arcade game against the wall. Paver paths lead across the lawn, where a corn hole set is ready to go, to two cedar pergolas at the back of the yard. One shades a lounge with a wicker sectional, a concrete coffee table, and a stone gas fire pit ringed by Colorado-flag Adirondack chairs. The other sits next to the private hot tub. Landscape lighting, a raised garden bed, and a wood privacy fence round out the yard. A golf simulator in the shed off the backyard is available to guests booking stays of 30 nights or more.
🅿️ PARKING
Free on-street parking is available directly in front of the home and along the block. There is no driveway or garage parking for guests.
