Here is your opportunity to own a piece of history! Built by Albert Carlson in 1911, the Carlson-Holzer house is a fantastic example of Craftsman style architecture in Aurora. The early Aurora home features matching diamond-shaped muntins laid in the windows and front door, overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, and a central front dormer, all of which are prominent features of the Craftsman style. In addition to its architecture, the Carlson-Holzer house was inhabited by two important figures in Aurora history: Albert Carlson, who built the house during Aurora's first large expansion, and Charles Holzer, a three-term mayor of Aurora from 1931 to 1937. This charming home boasts 2 beds and 2 baths plus a loft area, perfect for a study, office or playroom. Wood floors throughout, newer kitchen and bathroom on the main floor. Inviting front porch with the original wrought iron fence. Vegetable and perennial garden in front and back. Oversized 2 car garage in back with space for an additional vehicle next to it. This is a lovely, well maintained block just blocks from Lowry and the Lowry Town Center, minutes from Central Park, Highline Canal Bike Path, Stanley Marketplace, Big Bear Ice Rink, the breweries and shopping of the revitalizing Colfax Avenue.
