Description

533 W 1st Street is where River Town Life Begins at Your Front Door. Welcome to one of Salida's most charming and character-filled homes, sitting right in the heart of downtown where you can walk to Topo, the Steamplant, or any of the downtown galleries, restaurants, and the legendary Arkansas River, all just steps away. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow is full of personality, the kind of home that has stories. In fact, the previous owner loved Salida's world-class whitewater so much, he bought the place just to be close to the river and dedicated an entire room to storing his kayak. This house comes with the kayak storage rack still installed. That tells you everything you need to know about the lifestyle this home makes possible. Now it's ready for its next chapter. Whether you're a paddler, a hiker, an artist, or simply someone who wants to plant roots in one of Colorado's most beloved mountain towns, this home is waiting for your vision. Inside, original details and quirky touches give the home warmth and soul that new construction simply can't replicate. Outside, the oversized backyard is a rare find for a property this close to downtown, offering plenty of room to garden, entertain, and dream. There's also serious potential here: the lot offers excellent opportunity to add a garage with an ADU, ideal for a rental income stream, a guest suite, or a dedicated work-from-home studio. So to recap for you: Downtown Salida living, a huge lot, ADU potential, and a home with genuine heart. This one won't last long in a town this special.
