Some homes check boxes. This one grows oranges, lemons, figs, and about eighteen other reasons to cancel your weekend plans and stay home.

Set in Sparr Heights and a convenient walk to all the fine dining and shopping in Montrose, this character-rich two-story blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern upgrades. Gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout, while restored original windows—complete with their classic hardware—frame views in every direction and pour sunlight into the home from all directions. The result? Rooms that feel bright, warm, and alive from morning coffee to golden-hour dinners.

The living room sets the tone with beautiful beamed ceilings and a fireplace that anchors the space with undeniable charm. Just beyond, the dining room offers built-in nooks and cabinetry that feel equal parts practical and storybook—perfect for hosting lively dinners or slow Sunday brunch.

The kitchen was completely reimagined with custom white cabinetry, rich soapstone counters, and an elegant Italian porcelain backsplash. High-end appliances—including a Miele Combi-Steam Oven, Miele dishwasher, and Thermador Freedom five-hob induction cooktop—make everyday cooking feel a little more like a culinary event.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a breezy retreat with generous windows, a large closet, and an ensuite bath featuring a rainfall shower, bidet, and heated tile floors. A sunroom adds flexible bonus space—ideal for an art studio, office, reading nook, or yoga sanctuary. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bath with a jacuzzi tub, dual vanities, and abundant storage.

And then there's the showstopping backyard.

Part garden, part private orchard, part outdoor entertaining dream. Twenty-one fruit trees mean something delicious is always in season, while irrigated vegetable beds, flowers, and drip irrigation make it easy to cultivate your green thumb. Gather under the UV-protected patio roof, fire up the built-in BBQ, and let the evening stretch a little longer than planned.

Modern upgrades include owned solar installed in 2024, upgraded 220v electrical with EV charger, a tankless water heater with recirculating pump, permeable paver driveway, SimpliSafe security system, and more—thoughtful improvements that make everyday living easier.

A home with character, sunshine, and a backyard that might just turn you into a gardener. Don't be surprised if guests suddenly start visiting during fruit season.
