The exterior of the Arts & Crafts Bungalow style home built with bricks kilned at the GJ Brickyard has changed little being owned by only 4 families since it was built in 1926. Located in the 7th Street Historic District, named the Willsea House after the 2nd owner who kept a pet alligator on the property, this home was featured in "Colorado Homes" by Sandra Dalles. In 2003 the interior was professionally restored to its original vintage style without sacrificing any modern comforts. Electrical and plumbing were updated and refrigerated air conditioning added along with a rare owners suite with a large dressing room, vaulted ceiling, in floor heat, two vintage sinks supported by antique dresser vanities, stacking washer/dryer unit, hand painted walls of art, several stained glass windows and a private shower (custom mosaic tile), sink and toilet room separated by a vintage stained glass door. The original faux painted woodwork by local artist Al Nestler still remain thoughout the property. French Doors, stained glass, vintage light fixtures, hardwood flooring and hand painted wall coverings make this home a special place to live. There is a detached two car garage with additional off the street parking. Call Marjorie today for your private tour! (970) 250-6556 http://www.listingsmagic.com/140887
