An exceptional estate-sale fixer-upper opportunity awaits in the heart of historic Idaho Springs, presenting a true blank canvas on a rare, highly private 8,000-square-foot end lot with only one adjacent neighbor. Positioned directly across from a vibrant park and the cascading waters of gold-medal fishing and whitewater rafting destination Clear Creek, this original 1950s mid-century modern home features good bones, a kitchen-centric floor plan with excellent flow, a durable metal roof, and a newer furnace. Offered strictly "as-is" by the estate with no repairs or cleanup to be completed, the property is priced below market value to account for the required full-scale cleanout and modernization, allowing savvy buyers to build instant equity by customizing every single finish rather than paying a premium for someone else's recent renovations. The unmatched location is just one block from the mountain gondola—providing effortless access to mountaintop concerts, dining, sunset views over the Continental Divide, and a world-class mountain bike park—and a brief four-block stroll to historic downtown's premier bistros, galleries, and craft breweries. Complete with an attached garage, driveway, and additional rear parking, this ultimate "design-your-own-adventure" property places you minutes from ziplining, ATV trails, Indian Hot Springs, and the Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway, while remaining just 20 minutes from Loveland Ski Area and a 35-minute commute to Denver. After fix-up value is in-between $550k-700k depending on finishes. Huge lot would easily support an additional housing unit. Call for details or a private showing.
