UPDATED PALISADE HOME! A rare find, located one block from the entrance to Riverbend Park. You will be the envy of family and friends as you will have easy walking distance access to every wonderful Palisade Festival, beginning with the Palisade Bluegrass Festival in June, and culminating with the award-winning Colorado Mountain Wine Festival in September. Views of the Bookcliffs are just outside the steps, enjoy the beautiful sunsets in the private outdoor space surrounded by a low main garden. This historical two-bedroom, one-bath property built in 1959 with an accessory studio that also has living space and another bathroom was originally constructed by Ben Carman, on Lot 1, of the original Carman Subdivision, to be occupied by the then prominent Porterfield Family. Mr. Carman was noted in Volume 64, No. 29, of The Palisade Tribune as “One of the finest builders in the valley.” Beginning in 2017, the home has been updated throughout with the addition of a state-of-the-art HVAC system, including new duct-work and vents by Airstream Plumbing. The home has an updated 200amp main electrical panel; energy efficient low-e windows, upgraded ceiling insulation, and the outdated swamp cooler plenum removed. The kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, a step-in pantry, and a full suite of stainless-steel Samsung appliances.The former garage conversion was completed to current building codes, including wall and ceiling insulation, electric baseboard heat, dedicated A/C, a three-quarter bath suite, closet, and dedicated hot water heater, and laundry area. This comfortable, quiet living area, is perfect for an older child, parents retreat, or artist studio. (There is no kitchen area and this ADU can not be used as a rental.) A 476 sq ft fully-finished and insulated metal garage building was constructed in 2018. The building is equipped with an eight-foot tall, insulated garage door, allowing for use by a full-sized pickup truck. There is a secure storage room located within the garage.The large corner lot, approximately one-quarter acre in size, is fully fenced for security purposes. The entire property is equipped with a drip irrigation system. There is a 100 sq ft Mor-Storage built shed, a 200 sq ft Mor-Storage built car-port, all located behind a double RV gate. There are a minimum of six (6) off-street parking spaces available. This incredible property is a must see, and will not last long. Set up your private showing today before it's gone!
