1305 Grand Avenue, Norwood, Colorado

About 1305 Grand Avenue

This charming Norwood home on 4 lots, was built in 1917 by Norwood's first banker... Some of the original features bring a charming classic touch to the 1305 Grand Ave., including coffered ceilings in the living room, and diamond patterned leaded glass cabinets in the dining and living rooms. There are high ceilings throughout, and the dining room has large, east and south facing windows that make the room glow. Located in downtown Norwood, the large fenced garden offers solitude. The house is just two blocks from a grocery store, one block from the local high school, and one block from the Telluride-Norwood bus line pick up. The house has a forced air furnace system, with a wood stove in the living room providing cozy heat through winter months. The electrical and plumbing systems were upgraded in 1996, and the furnace and water heater were installed this year (2024). The big bedroom on the first floor has a sizable built in closet, and windows out to the yard. There is a second floor master bedroom, added in 2000, with skylights for stargazing (Norwood is a certified dark-sky community). The secondary bedroom on the first floor has a nook that kids love to turn into a fort or play-zone, but could also be a perfect closet space. There are two full-bathrooms, one with a large shower that allows for wheelchair access. Unique in Norwood, there is a basement with lots of storage space, as well as a washer and dryer, and extra freezer. The large yard is bustling with several highly developed garden plots, with fruit trees (peach, apricot, pear, and two apple trees in the front yard), perennial flowers (tulips, irises), and more. A vegetable patch provides fresh veggies. There is a raw water tap that allows for irrigation when the ditches run. A carport and attached tool shed line the back of the property. There is a professional ceramics studio-outbuilding with two heated spaces and a closet. This space is an ideal studio (560 sf) for any endeavor. It has street access, and could easily be converted to additional living space. The property is commercially zoned, which gives the potential to turn this studio into a retail space. There is an electric kiln and a gas kiln. A second, beautifully constructed outbuilding (196 sf) was completed in 2017, with large windows, heating, and a loft. This space is an extra living space for kids and as a guest house, but it could be a second studio/office space as well.
