Listing details for 316 E Willamette Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 : If walls could talk, this well-loved home in the Weber Wahsatch historical district would have a lot to say. It is located within walking distance of downtown, Colorado College, trails & parks. This home has personality plus. It proudly displays an authentic touch of time. Cozy yet spacious. Retro yet updated. I would ask the walls, “Was the school next door an amazing, quiet neighbor in 1915 like it is in 2015?” The house hints its owners valued off street parking, low utility bills and colorful walls. I would ask the walls, "Who painted the downstairs claw foot tub purple?" "Did the kitchen look good in red? Yellow? Pink? Grey? Wait, it is still grey... All interior walls have been repainted neutral colors within last three years. Tax records still show the home as a duplex. It was converted back to a single family home in 2010. The master bedroom now has a coffee bar. Tax records also still show a garage. Rumor has it that it was very old and it was torn down after a mama skunk and her babies moved into it. This home has a lot of great features. The basement is not one of them. It is like a dungeon - one with a washer and dryer. The old, workhorse furnace is located in the basement. The furnace, which used to burn coal, is actually a cool conversation piece. Bits of coal can still be found on the wall. Most importantly, this furnace continues to provide reliable heat. Owner is willing to share utility bills.
