Great VRBO possibility...sleeps 10! Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the very heart of Manitou Springs! This exquisite, fully renovated and restored  home was once owned by Michael A. Leddy, former mayor of Manitou Springs and owner of the Manitou Electric Railway and Casino Company.  Built in 1890, the home features three bedrooms, tow bathrooms, a two-car oversized garage, and over 2300 sq. ft. of living area. Located directly on Manitou Ave. in the midst of Manitou's shops and restaurants, the home is set back high on top of a hill for stunning downtown views, while mature trees, including two apricot trees, and a vacant next door lot provide plenty of privacy. There is a combined hot water heat/water heater system with low-profile European radiators. A recently added whole house fan keeps the home cool in the summer while keeping energy bills low.  The home has been completely renovated down to the studs with new electric and plumbing, yet contains some of the original trim, brick fireplace, and stunning wood bannister. The main level bathroom features the original clawfoot tub from 1890 which has been fully refinished in true Manitou Springs style. Completely updated chef's kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances and brand new Bosch dishwasher. The patio has been paved and could be used for two additional parking spots.  Enjoy your coffee on the front porch swing while you watch the Pike's Peak Marathon and Carnival parade which start right in front of the house.  This is a must-see home...schedule your private tour today!
