405 2nd Avenue

Welcome to 405 Second Avenue in Monte Vista Colorado! Situation on five and a half town lots, this historic 1910 home has 4 large sized bedroom and 3 baths and is framed by majestic blue spruce trees. Its newly re-pointed brick exterior and stone foundation, classic wraparound porch with wicker swing, and updated outdoor brick grill/pizza oven create an inviting outdoor haven. The property features mature gardens, a greenhouse with auto vent, a heated single-car garage, and an original two-story carriage house with new French doors! Inside, refinished hardwood floors, restored quarter-sawn oak trim, and period-correct colors blend vintage old-world charm with modern luxury. Two original fireplaces—one with a Victorian iron front and one with a wood-burning insert—add warmth. The dining room has original oak paneling and William Morris wallpaper, while the butler’s pantry adds antique flair. A large first-floor bath includes a handicap-accessible shower, free-standing slipper tub, dual-sink marble vanity, and period tile. The remodeled English-style kitchen boasts a gas stove, custom vent hood, farm sink, soft-close cabinets, quartz counters, and more William Morris wallpaper. Off the kitchen, a new mudroom enhances functionality. Four second-floor bedrooms offer walk-in closets, plush carpeting, and fresh paint. The main bath on this level has laundry facilities, a marble-top double vanity, and glass-block windows. The third floor showcases a spacious bonus area with built-in desks, hardwood floors, white wood walls, ample storage, and a newly remodeled bath with shower and barn door. Throughout the home, original doors (with skeleton keys) and lighting have been lovingly restored, and the ENTIRE electrical system has been updated to 2023 code. With its rich history, thoughtful upgrades, and generous indoor-outdoor living, this residence is a rare Monte Vista treasure! Most staging furnishings are included with the house
