Looking for something smaller and more manageable—but not ready to give up having a place of your own?
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in Mountain View MHP, a 55+ Longmont community, offers an affordable way to simplify while keeping many of the things that make a house feel like home: a garden, covered outdoor living, plenty of storage, your own washer and dryer, covered parking, and community pool and clubhouse.
One of the best features is the large covered deck, a wonderful spot for morning coffee, an afternoon book, or visiting with friends. The established yard features mature bushes, plants and roses, giving you green space to enjoy without an overwhelming amount to maintain.
You'll also appreciate covered parking for up to three vehicles—especially when Colorado snow arrives—and a large outdoor shed for tools, seasonal items and extra storage.
Inside, this 1970 Magnolia offers approximately 800 square feet with two bedrooms and one bath. Practical improvements include newer insulated windows and a newer water heater. A washer and nearly new dryer are included, and the swamp cooler and central heat are in good working order.
The home is comfortable as it is, while still offering plenty of opportunity to add your own style and make it yours over time.
