About the room
Private basement suite available in a quiet 3,200 sq ft home in Colorado Springs — includes two private rooms, a large bathroom, and a separate living room with fireplace. The basement area functions almost like a private apartment within the home.
Can be a month to month with up to 12 Months before renewal required. Ideally suited for one occupant, though a couple may be considered. Rent will include flat rate utilties.
The area includes: • two private rooms (bedroom + office or second bedroom) • large private bathroom with shower • separate living room with fireplace • sliding glass door with backyard access
A guest full-bath with tub is also available. There is also a sliding glass door with direct access to a decent-sized backyard. Shared access to the main kitchen and laundry room. Garage/attic and other storage available as well.
The house is about 3,200 sq ft with three full bathrooms, so there is plenty of privacy available. There is a large backyard, with a tall fence. I have a 10 year old husky so this is kind of a must.
Some basic furnishings are available if helpful (bed, dresser, couch), but the space is mostly unfurnished and flexible depending on what the renter prefers.
The home is half a mile from Quail Lake Park. 5-10 minutes from Fort Carson’s visitor center gate, and about 15–20 minutes from Peterson Space Force Base. Easy access to outdoor areas like North Cheyenne Cañon Park as well.
This home is best suited for a responsible adult who values a quiet living environment.
About the roomies
I’m a 43-year-old tech professional, prior to that I was in the medical field. I tend to keep a fairly relaxed household. I do keep shared spaces like the kitchen reasonably clean (for example, I usually don’t leave dishes sitting overnight).
I have a friendly 10-year-old husky that’s well socialized. He’s pretty mellow, especially for his breed, and mostly just enjoys being outside. And cheese.
Lifestyle-wise I try to stay active. I run a few times a week and am currently training for the Leadville Trail Half, and I climb occasionally (mostly indoor gyms). I used to coach kids and adult classes in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I drop into open mats here and there.
The house is generally quiet. I occasionally host friends visiting or a relaxed get-together. A cousin who lives in town stops by to grill and catch-up.
Best fit for a working professional, contractor, or travel medical/military personnel who values a quiet home environment.
