About this home

Set on just over an acre in the heart of Scipio with quick freeway access, this brick cottage has detail that doesn't get built anymore. Multi-toned brick, a steeply pitched roof, and an arched covered entry set the tone before you're through the door. Inside, restored, original oak hardwood floors run through an open living, dining area and continue in the upstairs bedrooms. The dining room sits beneath a coved ceiling, with divided-light windows framing the mountains. The living room opens under a barrel-vaulted ceiling anchored by a sculpted plaster fireplace with an arched brick firebox, and a second door leads out to the covered porch. The remodeled kitchen carries the character through: walnut butcher-block counters, maple cabinetry with a plate rack and glass-front uppers, an exposed walnut beam, and the original brick chimney left bare. Gas range, stainless dishwasher, and seating for three at the peninsula. The remodeled bathroom is the showpiece - a cast-iron clawfoot tub, exposed copper supply lines feeding a copper rain shower, a granite-topped antique vanity, and a full wall of exposed brick and stone. Outside, more than an acre of open ground stretches out around the house, with mountain views from the front porch. For a buyer who wants period character and space to spread out without a long drive to the interstate, this one is worth seeing.
