Built in 1900 for the Nelson Family (who brought dairy to Fort Collins... Nelson Farms), the Nelson Home is a magnificent example of American Four Square architecture, and is one of Ft Collins’ most treasured Old Town properties. The home boasts a plethora of amazing attributes, including original Texas yellow pine hardwood floors, original fixtures and hardware, original leaded glass windows, original transom windows, an original pocket door between the Living Room and Parlor... lots more. The home was recently totally restored to original condition, but with a professional kitchen, master suite/bath, as well as completely updated electrical, plumbing, sewer, hot water, furnace, AC and forced air systems. Best of both worlds... classic history with modern amenities.
The HUGE fenced and professionally landscaped yard leads to a second structure… the Carriage House. The Carriage House features a 1,000 sqft mechanics-grade 3-car heated garage with 220V circuits, oversize bays, as well as a modern one bedroom 900 sqft apartment with full bath, living room, kitchen, central air, W/D and deck.
The home is steps from Old Town, the Library, the Poudre River and all the amenities downtown living has to offer, and has been placed on both the National and Colorado Registers of Historic Places, and a frequent guest on the Ft. Collins Historical Home Tour.
This is an incredible opportunity to take part in original Ft. Collins history!
