Colorado, Garfield County, Carbondale, USA

Steps from Main Street's galleries, restaurants, and farmers market stands the Historic Fender House -- a 1913 brick Craftsman bungalow cared for the ranching family who called it home for more than eighty years. You can still find old labels from the orchard harvests in the basement. Thoughtfully renovated in 2013 and meticulously maintained, the main home embraces its historic charm: a polished modern kitchen anchored by restored built-in cabinet original to the home. Four generous bedrooms showcase original woodwork, and two fully updated baths blend seamlessly with the period character. The original fir wood floors are being professionally refinished in period-correct hardwax oil -- just refinished.Beyond the charm, the stewardship is documented: all-new plumbing and electrical from the restoration, a 98%-efficiency furnace, restored rafter tails, and preserved century-old screens. Outside, the 11,000-square-foot corner lot with mature trees is fully irrigated with town water, and the new patio deck, framed by copper downspouts, is made for gathering. The newly built oversized detached two-car garage-- and a well-appointed one-bedroom ADU above, perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income (per Town of Carbondale regulations). A rebuilt mudroom with new washer and dryer keeps mountain life organized. A century of Carbondale history, ready for its next steward.* blue viking in ADU has been replaced.
