439 E Bijou St Colorado Springs, CO 80903

Listing details for 439 E Bijou St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 : This home features the absolute best of old world Victorian design and all of the best of completely modern infrastructure; all coupled with being just 2 blocks from Acacia park and all of the amenities that downtown has to offer. Everything in the home has been completely redone. There is all new plumbing, all new electrical, and a new foundation. Beyond that when we were remodeling the home we had to make decisions on what things helped to keep that iconic Victorian style that everyone loves, and (cont) what things could we add to help highlight and embrace that pre-war charm. We made the choice to keep the hand cut original hardwood floors, the painted lead glass in the entryway, and the craftsman-style hand carved fireplace in formal dining room. We also had the original hand-carved entry way door completely refurbished to help keep the old world charm as you enter the property. From there absolutely everything has been completely redone. The kitchen has been opened up and all new two toned cabinets with custom crown trim and over headlighting were installed. We also picked gourmet appliances and tier2 granite to help complete an already gourmet kitchen. The master bedroom has been turned into a true retreat. We were amazed when we found original brick masonry hiding behind drywall which we cleaned and left exposed. The master-bath room is an oasis with a freestanding shower with Swedish 4 position body/rain shower system and frameless glass. We also included a freestanding modern soaking tub with waterfall faucet and wand. The bathroom wouldn't be complete without double vanities and granite counter tops. The same level of care and consideration was included in the rest of the bathrooms where you find granite and an additional Swedish shower system.
