5 Minnehaha Avenue

Manitou Springs, CO 80829

This is a unique property located in the historic Burnett & Lennon subdivision in Manitou Springs. It's recognized in the historic preservation code, indicating its significance in the area's development. Right off of Manitou Ave in a prime location. Sold as is. Just up the stone stairs, the top and main level features a kitchen, dining room, living room, bath- and Bedroom. There is a washer/dryer combo in the dining room. The bottom level is built out as a studio apartment and does NOT have access to the upstairs. It does have its own laundry. This is a great place for someone needing multi gen living or wanting to offset costs by renting one of the levels out. Originally built around 1880. Though city records date it to 1910—when official documentation began—its heritage is evident in the original stacked stone foundation surrounding the kitchen, the heart of the home. Proudly owned and cared for by the same owner for the past 26 years, the home has been thoughtfully updated while keeping its timeless character. The spacious dining room includes built-ins and a newer washer/dryer combo, while the attic has been built out to provide convenient extra storage. The living room showcases three stately German shrunks, which stay with the home, and large street-facing and wraparound windows that flood the space with natural light. These windows can be replaced, but must match the originals to preserve the home’s historic integrity. Downstairs, a private-entry studio apartment includes a full kitchen and its own washer and dryer—perfect for rental income, multigenerational living, or a private workspace. Utilities run on a single meter. The basement was stripped down to the cement walls and fully rebuilt. All sewers lines & plumbing lines have been redone. Cooling is provided by a window unit, the backyard is defined by the original rock wall that marks the property line. This one-of-a-kind home offers a rare blend of history, all just waiting for its next chapter.
