675 7th Street

Tucked away on a large lot on the edge of Paonia, this beautifully cared-for home offers a wonderfully private setting surrounded by spectacular mature landscaping and gardens. Meandering through the property feels like discovering a hidden garden, with established plantings, inviting outdoor spaces and an abundance of fruit and berries, including apricot, cherry, apple and Italian prune trees, along with elderberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries. The tall hedge and fence along the street offers privacy and the large - over 1/4 acre lot - offers plenty of room to garden, relax and enjoy the outdoors. A covered patio just off the kitchen and dining area provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply taking in the beautiful surroundings. Inside, the 2,441 square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers spacious, comfortable living areas and generously sized bedrooms. The open great room is anchored by a handsome stone wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The kitchen and dining area flow easily to the covered patio and gardens, while a huge pantry and utility room provide exceptional storage and everyday functionality. The property has been lovingly maintained and features a new metal roof. An oversized attached 2-car garage offers abundant storage cabinets, newer garage doors and openers, and plenty of room for vehicles, tools and gear. Outside, a garden shed includes additional wood storage, while a separate enclosed area offers wonderful possibilities for an art or craft studio, workshop, garden room or hobby space. The edge-of-town location offers an appealing combination of privacy and convenience, while still being close to Paonia Town Park and downtown shops, restaurants, galleries, farmers markets, music and community events. Paonia is known for its creative spirit, welcoming small-town atmosphere, local farms and orchards, wineries, and easy access to the outdoor recreation and natural beauty of Colorado's Western Slope. This is a special property for someone looking for more than just a home—a comfortable, spacious residence surrounded by beautiful gardens, mature landscaping and inviting outdoor spaces, all within minutes of the heart of Paonia.
