Welcome to 344 Plainview Place, where modern updates, outdoor adventure, and the charm of Manitou Springs come together. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features a redesigned kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, along with fresh interior paint, newer flooring, newer vinyl windows, and an updated bathroom. Recent improvements provide added peace of mind, including electrical updates completed in 2018 by a previous owner and a replaced sewer line. The addition of a washer and dryer brings everyday convenience, while the basement/cellar offers valuable storage space and houses the gas forced-air furnace and water heater. Situated on two in-town lots, this property offers an abundance of off-street parking-a rare and highly desirable feature in Manitou Springs. The additional lot provides flexibility for future use and may present opportunities for future owner to explore (ask me how), Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to the Intemann Trail system, connecting to popular destinations including Barr Trail, The Incline, Pikes Peak, Red Mountain Trail, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and Ring the Peak.
