1208 Vega Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80905

This tidy red-brick rancher home has everything a family needs for easy living. The three-bedroom two-bath home has been maintained as a high-quality rental since 2011 so it’s perfect for a family to move in. It sits back from a quiet street, and is walk-able to all three levels of District 12 schools, the current number-1 rated school district in Colorado. The house is on the desirable West side where lawns and large trees of older properties keep summer temperatures lower and landscaping and different architectural styles provide a pleasing atmosphere with variety making it easy to find your house. The house is just minutes to hiking and biking in Bear Creek park, North Cheyenne Canyon, Stratton Open Space and other outdoor recreation spots but also close to both high-end 8th-Street dining and regular urban amenities. The house is right around the corner from the Little Dipper community-membership swimming pool so summers have plenty of refreshing options. The house features hardwood throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, a huge, usable, fenced backyard with a large covered patio. The covered patio continues to a large uncovered patio which in combination with the yard is perfect for relaxing BBQs with and without friends. Multiple operating windows let in lots of natural light and fresh air. A taller-than-average crawlspace and storage shed provide more storage than is usually found in a house this size. Laundry hookups in dedicated laundry area. Master bedroom with bath, main bath and two bedrooms along with a bonus room all flow though an open floor plan while still separating the public and private areas of the house. Gas burning fireplace in living room. Yard is landscaped and mature trees and shrubs provide a comfortable level of privacy. Sprinkler system, mulch and gravel beds keep maintenance low. Front, off-street parking large enough for several vehicles . The house has upgraded attic insulation, recent sewer, and recent water heater, 2019 roof, 2020 sprinkler manifold. The furnace was replaced by the prior owner in 2011. The electrical panel is a Cutler Hammer. Exterior and interior is freshly painted and everything is clean. No one has to move making for an uncomplicated closing. The house is what it is: a solid, ready-to-live-in, original, unflipped home so you do not have to pay for any new, sub-optimal work or design flair that just isn’t quite what you want. Work on this house was permitted and completed by currently-licensed tradespeople. With this in mind I’ll entertain fixing necessary safety and health issues identified during inspection but the home is a straightforward what-you-see-is-what-you-get house. Buyer covers buyer’s agent fees.
