A true gem in sunny Empire! This is an incredible opportunity to own in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, minutes from skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, and more! This light and bright Victorian home has gorgeous mountain views and a lot of historic charm.  Enter via a quaint enclosed porch, which leads to the family room with a cozy wood stove, wood floors and architectural details you don't see in newer homes.  You will love the mid-century style kitchen with vintage metal cabinets and a tin ceiling!  Enjoy the mountain views while sipping your coffee in the breakfast nook.  Two bedrooms are on the main level (one is non-conforming).  Upstairs, is a loft area with gorgeous wood ceilings and wood floors and an attic closet.  The large level lot is something you don't see very often in a mountain town, complete with raised garden beds, two outbuildings - one of which has a workshop with a mountain view, and two chicken coops - a gardeners paradise!  The extra large lot is fully fenced for privacy and your furry friends.  Empire is an up and coming mountain town centrally located just 45 minutes from Downtown Denver, and within an hour of 8 major ski areas. Just 30 minutes to either Winter Park or Arapahoe Basin and 17 minutes to Loveland Ski Area.  Backcountry skiing and hiking at Berthoud Pass and Jones Pass are closer yet.  Historic Georgetown with quaint shops, a loop railroad, and a picturesque lake is only 4 miles away.  High Speed Internet is available for remote work.  Schedule your showing today!
