212 blake street

Some homes just have it — that rare blend of soul, space, and setting that can't be replicated. This beautifully maintained historic property sits at the heart of Salida on three full city lots, just blocks from downtown, the river, schools, and everything that makes this mountain town so beloved. Inside, 2,216 square feet strike a graceful balance between historic character and modern livability. Locally milled Browns Creek pine hardwood floors, a slate gas fireplace, and generous natural light set a warm, unhurried tone. Four bedrooms plus a dedicated office or flex space accommodate remote work, guests, hobbies, or a growing household with ease. The primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. Upstairs, a fourth bedroom captures mountain views — equally suited as a guest room, studio, or quiet retreat. The updated kitchen delivers function and charm with butcher block counters, tile finishes, and a built-in baker's pantry, with the dining area opening directly to a shaded Trex pergola-covered patio — an effortless extension of everyday living. A laundry/mudroom with backyard access and ample storage rounds out the practical side beautifully. Step outside and the possibilities grow. A deer-proof garden, front fenced flowerbeds, flagstone patio and walkway, and a lush lawn offer something for every outdoor pursuit. Three zoned sprinklers keep it all effortless. Three full city lots deliver what's increasingly rare in Salida — genuine breathing room. The property also presents meaningful long-term potential, including the possibility of adding an ADU, subdividing, or exploring additional development opportunities (buyer to verify with Planning and Zoning at 719-530-2638). The character, the land, the location — everything here points to a property that only becomes harder to find with time. Call for a showing today!
