Recent improvements include a new foundation, upgraded insulation, and updated mechanical systems, providing enhanced comfort, efficiency, and long-term durability while preserving the character of the original structure. The home lives significantly larger than its square footage, offering a highly functional and inviting layout. While short-term rental licenses are limited town-wide, this block retains unused availability. The outdoor space is exceptionally spacious for downtown living, featuring mature landscaping, ample seating areas, and a surprising sense of privacy despite being in the center of town. The renovated garage/flex space adds outstanding versatility, complete with a 1/2 bath and excellent potential for a private office, studio, or additional living area. Just steps from Elk Avenue’s shops and restaurants and the ski bus, this property offers a rare combination of historic character, privacy, and modern livability in one of Crested Butte’s most desirable locations.
