I saw an interested foreclosed home yesterday in West Colorado Springs in Holland Park.   The property definitely has possibilities, even though it needs lots of TLC and updates.   Here’s the main facts, it was built in 1978 and is currently listed at $184,900; 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage.   The property was foreclosed on in May 2009 and the El Paso County Assessor has it valued at $232,000.   It last sold in 2005 at $217,500  The property has some nice curb appeal from the outside, stucco, circular drive; in my opinion it looks nicer on the outside vs. the inside.   It’s in a nice established west side neighborhood.

 IMG_1748 hans outside

The bank (who is the current owner) has put in new carpet and new paint; but there is still plenty that needs to be done.   In the master bedroom, one of the closets had been converted to an additional bathroom, even though there is a small bath right around the corner.   The bathroom conversion (addition) was not done very well, and  probably should be torn out and it should be made back to a closet.   Or better yet, do a major change and take the 2 bathrooms and combine them to 1 nice spacious master bath.  OR, the bathroom in the closet could be redone; as then it would be very usable for handicap access.

Colorado Springs Luxury Homes are hit by foreclosures

outside-original-oak-valley Colorado Springs Luxury Homes — Foreclosures  (Part II)
Even in affluent neighborhoods,  foreclosures are beginning to appear more frequently

 Wow, if only homes could talk ………………….. I previewed a variety of homes this week in Colorado Springs, ranging from a cute home in the East part of the city that was listed at $155,000 to one that was listed at $725,000.  My favorite home of the day was an afront-door-oak-valleymazing Italian Villa type home in Northwest Colorado Springs.  It was  located on a breathtaking wooded lot, .85 of an acre,  in one of my favorite Northwest Neighborhoods, Oak Hills.

If you want to receive a FREE copy of my favorite foreclosures in the city, email KTorine@msn.com

The property was originally built in 1987, but according to some of the information I found in previous listings, it went through extensive remodels in 2001. 

The home was a little deceiving from the outside, looked nice but notocean-bedroom anything special.   In fact, the outside paint color was a little odd to me, a pale yellow.  Once the front doors opened,  the first thing I saw was the circular hardwood stairway, great entryway.    Other amenities at the home include 3 fireplaces, and many, many, many decks.One of my favorite things were the unique children’s room.  First there was the “Ocean Room” with artistic painted murals on the walls, almost felt like I was walking into an aquarium.  And the finishing touch was the life preserver on the ceiling.
