Imagine enjoying 3 days of Labor Day Lift Off Balloons floating overhead to land in Memorial Park just blocks away! This unique home has a rooftop garden with a tree-framed Pikes Peak View as well as custom stamped walkways & patios surrounded by day lilies & other perennials. This historical home has 9 custom-built radiators to include a semi-curved version specifically built for the turret room, each with a unique humidifier made of copper or ceramics! This uncommon home was built in 1888 by the once existing Sante Fe Railroad tracks (now Shooks Run Trail) to lure a medical doctor to treat workers & passengers in the newly founded Colorado Springs. His stables (located on the south end of the home) stretched down to the train depot on El Paso & Platte. In the 1920’s a subsequent owner of 637 E Boulder was the head chef of the Antlers Hotel (governed by the Broadmoor Hotel), whose daughter attended Colorado College & became a teacher at Garfield School on Willamette. This home has historical features of the time called pediments, which hold antique brass ornaments signifying wealth & status at the turn of the century. 637 East Boulder captures the beauty of a regal Victorian home blocks from downtown with access to the Arts, Culture, & people that make Colorado Springs a uniquely western pioneer city. The extensive list of updates & their costs will be available on the home’s flyer when you Come Take a Look Inside!
