1717 Ivy Place

Charming 1910 Craftsman in the heart of Ivywild, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a warm, inviting blend of historic character and thoughtful updates. Set on a private .17-acre lot with mature trees, a year-round stream that is both visible and audible from the yard, and a mostly sunny backyard, this home captures the peaceful, whimsical lifestyle that makes Ivywild so special.  A storybook front porch welcomes you inside to newly refinished hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen with custom Schroll cabinetry.  Original main-level windows preserve the home’s charm while remaining fully functional. The main-level primary suite and two guest bedrooms upstairs provide a practical and flexible layout with walk-in closets, while the finished basement adds valuable bonus space with stained concrete floors ideal for a home office, gym, game room, or creative studio.  Out back, the detached garage sits within a fully fenced and enclosed yard, offering excellent privacy and the possibility of a dream workshop. The long lot, lush “velvet grass,” mature landscaping, and creekside setting create a rare urban retreat with serene natural sounds, yet the home remains just a short walk from shopping, eateries, and the social energy of the Ivywild neighborhood.  Enjoy biking or hiking on the nearby and terrific trails of North Cheyenne Canyon.  A welcoming neighborhood social group coordinates monthly meet-ups, such as yoga, coffee in the park, summer pic nics and garden tours for those looking for community.  Set against the backdrop of Cheyenne Mountain, inspiration comes easy in this exceptional Colorado Springs location that combines neighborhood connection, convenience, and quiet beauty.
