Looking for a Unique Flip Project? Tour This Cheyenne Road Property

By Josh & Virginia Rowland

I’m Josh Rowland with my wife Virginia. We’ve closed 200 sales here in Colorado Springs and I’m very confident that I know what I’m doing to represent you in a sale.

I’m excited to share a personal investment project that I have been working on for the past year. Located near Ivywild and Cheyenne Canyon, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and flexibility. It sits on a third of an acre and includes a main house, a detached cottage, and a large 988-square-foot garage with alley access.

The cottage features 382 square feet of well-designed space. It includes one bedroom, one bathroom, and an open concept layout that combines the living room, kitchen, and laundry area into a single efficient footprint.

The garage is one of my favorite features. It offers nearly 1,000 square feet and is already framed for additional living space above. This setup gives you the freedom to create the space you need, whether for work, hobbies, or extended living.

The entire property functions as a peaceful retreat within the city. Originally built in 1898, the main home has been fully restored from the frame up. It now includes all-new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, while preserving the property’s craftsman heritage. Great care was taken to maintain original details, including the fireplace.

Throughout the home, you’ll notice thoughtful touches that honor the building’s history, such as oversized eight-inch baseboards, oak floors upstairs, and Douglas fir floors from the early 20th century. The space has been updated with modern design elements, including a large dining area that opens into the kitchen and then flows seamlessly into an outdoor entertaining area.

The kitchen was designed with chefs in mind. It is already set up for a gas range installation, and features design allowances that make it easy to add a six-burner gas cooktop beneath the existing 36-inch hood. This layout gives you the flexibility to customize it to suit your cooking style. Upstairs, the home offers a beautiful primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a five-piece primary bathroom.

This property brings together historic charm, modern comfort, and versatile space in one of the most desirable areas of the city. It’s a rare combination that’s increasingly hard to find in today’s market. If you have questions or need guidance, you can call me at 719-271-5206 or send an email to josh@therowlandteam.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
