The Sanctuary | Old Town Retreat & Garden Oasis

Settle into a one-of-a-kind historic Fort Collins home filled with warmth, character, and plenty of space to make your own. Hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, rich woodwork, and colorful vintage touches give each room its own personality, while three levels offer plenty of room to spread out. Outside, a beautifully landscaped backyard and garden create a peaceful little retreat in the middle of town.

This is the kind of home that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Enjoy coffee beneath the garden arbor, linger over dinner on the patio, play a game upstairs in the loft, or curl up for a movie downstairs. The baby grand piano, artwork, cozy furnishings, and architectural details make the space feel collected rather than decorated. And when you’re ready to head out, Old Town, CSU, neighborhood parks, restaurants, breweries, and bike trails are all within easy reach.

HISTORY: Built as a Seventh Day Adventist Church in 1902, this one-of-a-kind property has been home to seven different churches over the years and is now a designated historic landmark in Fort Collins. The church was thoughtfully converted into a private residence in 2010, preserving much of the character and craftsmanship that make the home so special today.

NOTE: As a historic home, there are a few areas with lower or sloped ceilings. Please use caution, particularly in the lower-level hallway.

NOTE: The backyard is yours to enjoy, though other guests may pass through to access the separate apartment above the detached garage.
