Upper apartment of stucco 1928 Craftsman Cottage over/under duplex. This home is registered as the ER Hoffman Residence with the Laurel School National Register Historic District. Renovations were completed in 2022 with the intention of preserving as much of the original finishings as possible. Walls have the original wide trim and baseboards, combined with hand-troweled drywall, all new paint, and refinished original pine wood floors that glow with warmth and beauty. The windows and glass are amazingly all original and have the romantic wavy pattern of antique glass. Radiant heating makes the home cozy and warm in the winter, and a modern on-demand hot water heating system ensures the home is energy efficient. All appliances are full size and include a washer and dryer. The kitchen was updated with additional space for a dining table surrounded by large windows overlooking the back yard. The back yard is large and fenced with mature shade trees. Front yard has been landscaped and has a drip system for ease of maintenance. Home is within walking distance of Old Town Fort Collins and Colorado State University. Rent includes a small, detached garage for extra storage. This home is a must see for anyone looking for the convenience of a down-town location combined with the beauty of hand craftsmanship from a bygone era.

If you're still reading, here is a little about me, Kelly, your property manager. Do you have a horror story about a previous management company? I know I do.......hidden charges, unresponsive maintenance calls, and phone tree nightmares to foreign counties just to name a few. We are Greyrock Rentals LLC, a local family-owned business that promises to do property management differently because my job is easy when my residents are happy. And honestly, I don't want to make this more difficult for you or me because this is actually my second job. I have worked in various forms of adult social services for most of my career and began small-scale property management over the last several years to supplement our income and still do the work in the community that I love. Because this is a second job, I only contract with property owners that agree to allow me to manage and maintain their property with strict adherence to responsiveness, safety, and upkeep. I focus on the respectful development of relationships with my residents and only take on a few properties at a time to ensure responsiveness. In return, I expect residents to care for the home as if it was their own and adhere to the pet polices and yard maintenance. This property in particular will need someone special that will love it for both the beauty and fragility of it's age. Thanks to everyone who took the time to get all the way to the end. To those of you that didn't: no worries I can answer questions at the showing too. 12 months lease
