240 poplar avenue

Welcome to this timeless, turn-of-the-century, Victorian gem in the heart of Paonia, where classic elegance meets small-town charm. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by soaring 10-foot ceilings adorned with vintage details that bring a sense of airiness and historic grace to every room. The welcoming foyer flows into either the formal dining room or a cozy great room, complete with built-in shelving, a striking wood stove centerpiece, and large south-facing windows dressed in period lace—offering both privacy and an abundance of natural light. Original cast-iron radiators provide a warm, nostalgic touch. The main floor features one bedroom and a full bath, while upstairs offers two to three additional bedrooms (depending on how you choose to use the space), along with a convenient half bath. Don't forget the butler pantry that's off the kitchen, perfect for canning, fermenting and your other kitchen projects. The unfinished basement—accessed from inside or via its own entrance to the backyard—offers tons of potential for storage, a creative studio, or even a music room. Also in the basement, don’t miss the north-facing, cool room, with its stone floors and shelving—perfect for storing canned goods, produce, or wine. Outside, the lush grounds are a homesteader’s dream, boasting mature cherry, apricot, and peach trees, a vibrant lilac bush, blooming Russian sage, and a colorful mix of perennials. The underground sprinkler system will help keep your oasis watered. You'll spend much of your time on the front porch that wraps around the door on both sides and is east facing for your morning coffee and sunrises. The two-story garage is full of character and ready to bring your next big idea to life. There are a couple of covered spaces off of the garage that could provide a shaded reprieve from the summer's sun, extending your workspace or storage for your outdoor toys. Just two blocks from Paonia’s vibrant food and arts scene, you’ll be close to restaurants, live music, theatre, local festivals, and more. This is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle, ready for you to step in and make it your own. ***SELLER IS OFFERING A 20k CONCESSION TOWARDS EXTERIOR PAINT!! WHAT COLOR WILL YOU CHOOSE!?!?!***
