Property Description

Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Dolores. Own a remarkable piece of Dolores history, where timeless character and thoughtful craftsmanship come together in one truly special property. Originally used in 1913 as a harness, saddle, and boot shop, this beautifully restored home has been meticulously reimagined while preserving the rich heritage that makes it one of a kind. The original business sign still welcomes you at the entrance, offering a glimpse into the property's fascinating past. Taken down to the studs and fully rebuilt including all new plumbing and electric, the home was restored using reclaimed original wood siding and cladding from the old roof, blending authentic historic materials with modern construction and efficiency. Every detail reflects exceptional care, including the original glass window frames and transom at the front of the home, now fitted with new glass that overlook the inviting covered front porch. Even the main bathroom door tells a story, featuring the number "52," salvaged from the historic Del Rio Hotel just down the street. Inside, you'll find a bright, open living space filled with natural light and mountain views through custom wood Jeld-Wen windows. The home offers two comfortable bedrooms on the main level, along with a charming spiral staircase leading to a spacious loft that easily serves as a third bedroom, office, or yoga space. Soaring 17' aspen ceilings in the great room and loft create a dramatic sense of openness while maintaining the home's warm, welcoming atmosphere. Original Douglas fir flooring, carefully restored from the historic structure, graces the kitchen and two bedrooms, while beautiful ash flooring enhances the great room and loft area. The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances, including a premium Fisher & Paykel induction range, all of which convey with the home. Comfort is ensured year-round with a natural gas stove, electric wall heaters, mini-split systems providing both heating and cooling, ceiling fans, and an on-demand water heater. The entire home is exceptionally well insulated, including additional closed cell spray foam on the east and west walls, and insulated stem wall foundation with crawl space. Adding even greater value is a fully paid-off solar system, providing energy savings and sustainable living for years to come. Step outside to enjoy the large west facing covered back deck, complete with low-maintenance Trex decking, sturdy 2x12 roof joists, and exposed 2x6 pine ceiling
