Property Description
MLS# 295182 Known affectionately as "Mabel," this remarkable 1913 Transitional Victorian beautifully showcases the transition from Victorian elegance to Craftsman design. Rich with history, craftsmanship, and timeless character, this one-of-a-kind property offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an exceptionally rare opportunity with three tax parcels, including the separately platted, fully buildable lot at 1006 S. Lake Street. Built by local businessman H.M. Love, whose name remains stamped in the sidewalk, Mabel has been lovingly cared for by only four owners in more than a century. Inside, you'll find maple hardwood floors throughout the main level, original fir flooring in the bedrooms and staircase, Marmoleum flooring in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, and Moduelo luxury vinyl plank flooring in the mudroom. A spacious mudroom pantry, upstairs laundry, additional main-level laundry hookup, oversized bedroom closets, deep under-eave storage, and abundant storage throughout provide exceptional everyday functionality.Thoughtful updates preserve the home's historic character while adding modern convenience. The home was completely rewired in 2009, including the removal of all original knob-and-tube wiring. Nearly all windows were replaced with easy-clean flip-out windows that same year, and the lower bathroom was taken down to the studs and beautifully remodeled in 2013. Additional improvements include professional exterior painting approximately five years ago, rebuilt exterior steps in 2015, freshly painted porch decking and railings in 2026, and an updated garage roof. Modern amenities include a Honeywell smart thermostat, a six-zone Rain Bird irrigation system serving the 1008 S. Lake Street yard, reverse-osmosis filtration at the utility sink, and a high-capacity mini-split system sized to accommodate future ducting for the main floor if desired. The unfinished basement offers abundant storage, a workshop area with plumbing for a future sink, and additional flexible space ready for your vision. Adding even more value, the separately platted 1006 S. Lake Street lot is fully buildable with power, gas, and sewer already available—creating incredible opportunities for future construction, investment, or expanded living space. More than just a home, Mabel is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of Colfax's treasured historic residences while enjoying thoughtful modern updates, timeless craftsmanship, and unmatched flexibility.
