Description of 623 Manitou Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
Listing details for 623 Manitou Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829 : A Piece of Manitou History, Fully Reimagined — 621/623/627 Manitou Ave
Built in 1885 of rare Manitou greenstone, this stately 3-story Victorian doesn't just wear its history — it flaunts it. Dentil cornice work, a wraparound covered porch, twin turret dormers, original stone masonry, and original windows protected under Manitou's historic preservation ordinance make this a genuine architectural survivor, fully remodeled without losing an ounce of soul.
4 bedrooms. 4 bathrooms. 2,728 square feet. And a front-row seat to everything that makes downtown Manitou irresistible — shops, restaurants, art galleries, and the mineral springs the town is named for, all a walk away.
Here's what no other downtown property can claim: this home is assembled from three separate parceled lots (621, 623, 627), sold together as one estate-sized offering. That means 8 total parking spaces — 6 off-street spots plus a 2-car garage — in a town where parking is the rarest commodity there is.
Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself: a designer kitchen with waterfall-edge counters, custom arabesque tile, and unlacquered brass fixtures; a dining room anchored by its original 1885 built-in china hutch; a living room built for lingering, with a hand-laid stone fireplace and a bay window seat made for slow mornings.
Every one of the 4 bathrooms has its own personality — a sleek 3-piece shower bath, a second-level primary with a full standing tub, and a top-floor 4-piece retreat with double vanity, marble-look counters, and a freestanding soaking tub beneath vaulted ceilings. Original cast-iron radiators keep the period charm honest throughout.
Still more to unlock: a rooftop deck waiting to happen atop the garage, made for sunsets, plus a courtyard off the east side — ready to become a paver-finished entertaining space.
This isn't just a house. It's a rare, one of a kind, never to be duplicated piece of Manitou Springs.
