Strike it rich without the hard rock mining—this townhouse is already claim-staked and ready to work for you! This exceptionally well-maintained townhouse sits like a Gold Mine that’s been carefully worked over the years, free of any deferred maintenance or leftover diggin’s. It’s packed with inclusions that let a new owner move in at closing without hauling a single stick of furniture, appliance, big-screen television, or even a set of bedding. Everything comes with the property—clean, serviceable, and in many cases brand-new, just like fresh ore straight from the vein. The list of upgrades and replacements under the current owners is extensive and hard-earned: a new dishwasher in 2022, new windows in 2023, a brand-new metal roof and siding in 2024, the driveway and parking area paved that same year, plus a new clothes washer. The electric water heater was swapped out fresh in March of this year. Cripple Creek’s appeal as a full-time residence, vacation retreat, or income-producing rental is plain as day once you take a look around—the gaming halls, the active gold mining operations, and the tourist draws that keep the town lively. The home is already wired into the modern age with fiber optic cable from Peak Internet/Vero Networks, so you can stay connected while living in the heart of Colorado’s historic gold country. Are YOU Ready to stake your claim?
