My pick of the week is in Holland Park area on 1090 Kara Ridge Pt.
It includes over 1400 square feet, with 2 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 car attached garage.
If you are looking for a Colorado Springs townhome at a reasonable price in the desirable west side located close to Garden of the Gods, then this is the property for you.
The downside
Even though the property was built in 2004, the property has been lived in fairly hard. There are some dings in the wall, paint chiped on some of the bull nose corners, some broken tiles in the main entryway; all easy cosmetic things to fix.
The one downside I saw about the property, the master bath only has a shower, vs. a shower and bath. The carpet going to the garage is stained, but it may be able to be cleaned up. Also it’s a typical bank-owned property with no appliances, but it has been cleaned up.
The other thing I didn’t like about the property was it’s location in the complex. It’s a middle unit and there are another 8 units located just a sidewalk away; because of it’s location it felt dark and crowded.
