About This Home
A Legacy Reborn. For over a century, the Sharp Mansion has reigned as the crown jewel of the Old North End. Long regarded as one of Colorado Springs’ most architecturally significant and storied estates, this iconic residence has remained a symbol of the city’s Gilded Age elegance and enduring legacy. Spanning 14,000+ sq. ft., plus a charming carriage house with 3 additional beds and 1 bath, this 1912 masterpiece has undergone a comprehensive, year-long restoration designed to honor its Gilded Age grandeur while significantly modernizing its core infrastructure. The architectural pedigree is unparalleled, designed by renowned Dutch architect Nicholas van den Arend. Featuring a signature Ludovici Italian tile roof restored with original Ludovici tile from 1900. While the historic soul remains, the estate’s systems have been extensively updated. The restoration included a substantial electrical service upgrade and a focused revitalization of the seven iconic Van Briggle fireplaces. Recent mechanical improvements are vast, including plumbing modernization with high-performance pressure regulation, main sewer scoping, and property-wide drainage enhancements- preserving foundation. From the carefully re-hung historic doors to the professional preservation of 120-year-old specimen trees, the current stewardship has spared no effort in stabilizing this landmark. Sustained by a grandfathered alluvial well, the grounds are as vibrant as the interior. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turn-key, revitalized piece of Colorado history where world-class photography only begins to capture the home's true presence.
