Epic views. Unbeatable location. Endless potential. Welcome to 831 Manitou Blvd, a one-of-a-kind retreat perched perfectly between Downtown Colorado Springs and historic Old Colorado City. Set on an oversized R-2 zoned lot just shy of 11,000 sqft, this property offers a rare blend of charm, flexibility, and future development potential. At the heart of the home is a bright and inviting kitchen featuring granite countertops, a gas cooktop, newer appliances, and a view that will stop you in your tracks. From both the kitchen and living room, enjoy epic, unobstructed views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range. The main level also features oak hardwood floors in the living space and ceramic tile throughout the rest of the main floor for easy maintenance and style. Head downstairs to a cozy and well-designed lower level, where you’ll find the spacious primary bedroom, complete with an attached 3/4 bathroom and in-suite laundry. French doors off the primary lead to a private outdoor sitting area, ideal for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The house also features a whole-house water filtration system tucked neatly into the laundry area for easy access and peace of mind. Step outside and discover even more to love: a rooftop patio atop the garage that delivers jaw-dropping mountain views, a decorative pond, and plenty of parking, including space for an RV or two. The 200-amp electric service upgrade provides peace of mind and supports any future additions or upgrades. With R-2 zoning, there's the opportunity to build a second home, add an ADU, or expand. Tucked just steps from the Mesa Open Space trail, this location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who also want quick access to city life. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, income property, or unique investment, 831 Manitou Blvd is a rare find with Colorado charm, flexibility, and front-row views.
