512 E 1st St UNIT R, Salida, CO 81201

Looking for a serene, low-maintenance home on the banks of the Arkansas River yet steps from downtown? This newly constructed riverfront condominium offers modern comfort and convenience in the heart of the historic town of Salida. Nestled on the river at the base of the Arkansas Hills, across the river from the historic factory, this lovingly maintained one-owner home offers both a sense of seclusion and the advantages of an easy five-block walk to the center of downtown. At the west end of a small condominium complex, this three-story end unit has windows to the east where you can breakfast watching sunrise over the river. On holidays, you can watch fireworks over S Mountain from the three riverside decks. On quiet nights, the sound of the river and an occasional owl can be heard. The front bedroom upstairs has views of snow-capped peaks. The home has an entryway and living area with generous kitchen on the main floor, two bedrooms and two baths on the upper level, and a master bedroom with walk-in closet, custom tile bath, and laundry room on the lower floor. All three of the decks overlooking the river are fully fenced, with a gate on the lower deck. An attached garage may be accessed from the entryway. All windows have insulating Hunter-Douglas blinds. Upgrades include a new & ultra quiet KitchenAid dishwasher, Maytag washer and dryer, full fencing on the master bedroom deck, and a screen-storm door for added insulation, sunlight, and breezes in the summer. HOA dues cover water, all exterior maintenance, pickup of trash and recycling, landscaping, and snow removal.
