Rich in history and filled with warmth, this has been home to generations of Colorado Springs residents. Originally built in 1896 for Winfield S. Boynton, an El Paso County commissioner and sheriff, the house was rebuilt for him following an 1898 fire. Today, this lovingly cared-for Victorian welcomes you with beautiful craftsmanship, abundant natural light and an inviting feel throughout. Settle in on the charming front porch and enjoy the tree-lined streets of the North End. Beyond the wrought-iron fence and front entry, an elegant staircase sets the tone for the character found throughout the home. Original handcrafted woodwork, pocket doors, leaded-glass windows, crown molding, picture rails and hardwood floors reflect its history. Two fireplaces retain their original mantels and Italian glazed tile and have been converted to gas. Thoughtful details, including half shutters and two staircases, add to the home’s charm. The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with plenty of room to gather, or even find a favorite hiding spot. The timeless kitchen is a wonderful place to cook and connect, featuring custom hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range, an oversized island and double ovens. The dining room features a bay window and built-in china cabinet, while the family room offers a second bay window and original French doors leading into the parlor. An upstairs laundry area adds convenience, with additional laundry space in the basement. The third floor has been completely remodeled in a functional and timeless way. The approximately 1,300-square-foot detached Annex offers even more room to enjoy, with a gym and attached three-quarter bath downstairs and a game room with an attached half bath upstairs. Outside, the lush backyard is made for entertaining, a built-in gas grill and a show-stopping gas fireplace. A lighted pergola with retractable shades, mature landscaping and a privacy fence complete the setting.
